Product Description Lee Majors stars as the Fall Guy, Colt Seavers, a stunt man moonlighting as a bounty hunter who uses Hollywood stunt tactics to capture criminals. .com The hero of The Fall Guy, Colt Seavers--played by Lee Majors, the former Six Million Dollar Man--is a Hollywood stunt man, which lets the show do all kinds of spectacular car crashes with no justification whatsoever, and he's a bounty hunter, which lets him get into all kinds of fist fights and ridiculous plots with no justification whatsoever. It's the perfect 1980s TV show, and it's no surprise it was created by Glen Larson, the mastermind behind such hits as Knight Rider, Battlestar Galactica, and Magnum, P.I. Assisted by his handsome but not-too-bright cousin Howie Munson (Douglas Barr) and sexy stuntwoman Jody Banks (blonde bombshell Heather Thomas), Colt grapples with a corrupt sheriff, a mob hit man, a government secret agent, a neo-Nazi biker gang (which, naturally, Colt had to infiltrate through cunning disguise), women wrestlers, and more, more, more. Preposterous? Absolutely! It's all an excuse to set things on fire and parade scantily clad young women around (Thomas had a popular bikini scene that led to a top-selling poster), while the Hollywood setting allowed for cameo appearances by stars ranging from James Coburn (In Like Flint) to Lou Ferrigno (appearing as himself playing the Incredible Hulk--it's downright postmodern) to Farrah Fawcett (Charlie's Angels), Majors' just-divorced ex-wife. But what kept The Fall Guy running for five seasons wasn't silly plots or leaping cars. Lee Majors is one of those relaxed, genial actors who were made for television. Manly but gentle, handsome but down-to-earth, Majors appealed to men and women equally, could toss off a snappy one-liner without effort, and gave the impression that, no matter what happened, it would come out all right in the end. He even sang his own theme song. The Fall Guy: The Complete First Season is pure comfort television. (Season 1 is the only season with Jo Ann Pflug as Colt's boss, "Big Jack"; her adult sexiness and worldly wit were much-missed on later seasons.) The only extras are a couple of brief but entertaining featurettes, featuring interviews with Majors, Thomas, and Larson. --Bret Fetzer

Can Not wait to get it
This is one of my favorite Action/Adventure series. I love the Theme "The Unknown Stuntman" by David Somerville, Gail Jensen, and Glen Larson. The theme sung by Lee Majors.The hallmark of this series was the spectacular stunt work. For Lee Majors the show was his fifth successful show. Majors played the role as Hollywood stuntman Colt Seavers, who by using his special skills to track down and capture bail jumpers picked up a little extra money. Helping out were Colt's inexperienced but eager younger cousin, Howie, and stunning stuntwoman Jody. The team took thier assignments from Samantha Jack, a sexy bail bondswoman named "Big Jack".Each episode started with one of Colt's daredevil movie stunts(usually in high-speed)and then shifted to his pursuit of the bail jumper, often using the same stunts he had used in the movie.The Fall Guy first aired on November 4th, 1981 until May 2nd, 1986 for a total of 5 seasons and 113 episodes, which I wish to own.The First season was up there with the best 30 TV shows, ranking 26th in its first appearance and getting 19% of viewers according the Nielsen rating (The Nielsen rating is the percent of all TV-equipped homes tuned to the program on an average night, as measured by Nielsen Media Research).The cast for this show were:Colt Seavers..........................Lee MajorsHowie Munson........................Douglas BarrJody Banks........................Heather ThomasSamantha"Big Jack"Jack(1981-1982)...Jo Ann PflugTerri Shannon/Michaels(1982-1985)....Markie PostPearl Sperling(1985-1986).............Nedra VolzThe First season consisted of 23 episodes and they are as follows:1 The Fall Guy (1) 11/4/19812 The Fall Guy (2) 11/4/19813 The Meek Shall Inherit Rhonda 11/11/19814 The Rich Get Richer 11/18/19815 That's Right, We're Bad 11/25/19816 Colt's Angels 12/2/19817 The Human Torch 12/9/19818 The Japanese Connection 12/16/19819 No Way Out 1/6/198210 License to Kill (1) 1/13/198211 License to Kill (2) 1/20/198212 Goin' for It 1/27/198213 The Adventures of Ozzie and Harold 2/3/198214 Soldiers of Misfortune 2/10/198215 Ready, Aim, Die 2/17/198216 Ladies On the Ropes 2/24/198217 The Snow Job 3/3/198218 Guess Who's Coming to Town? 3/17/198219 Child's Play 3/24/198220 Charlie 4/7/198221 Three for the Road 4/14/198222 The Silent Partner 4/28/198223 Scavenger Hunt 5/5/1982I hope all of the remaining 4 seasons will be released shortly after this season.Thank you very much for reading my review and have a nice day :)

Still hooked after nearly 30 years!
Yes, even after almost 30 years, the Fall Guy still makes me hang to my TV set! I was a fan then and I am still now and not just for the lovely Heather Thomas! Actually, I wish I had a truck just like Colt's, I do own a GMC truck but It doesn't have the suspension kit nor the big tires and roll bar. I have to admit that this truck was part of what made watch this every week back then but the formula was kind of origninal being the story of a hollywood stunman who actually earn revenu during his cinema break working as a bounty hunter. Of course, sometimes you can see it coming...but some other times, you get suprised as how the story turn and end up! The DVD comes in a neat box and work very well, these DVDs gave me the opportunity to watch the pilot episode of the serie which I missed when the show was aired on tV in the 80's. There are of course a few extra on the DVD like interview with Lee Majors and Glen Larson. All in all, I am absolutely satisfied of my purchase and I intend to buy the rest of what is available of that TV show. I also would like to warn potentiel buyer's of the fall guy serie, I myself went for an offer on the net for the complete serie on DVD. The price was $50.00 wich I considered a real deal for so many DVD discs but there was a catch! All of theses DVDs were cheap (and I mean cheap) copies who's quality wasn't even worth the price of the disc they were on!!! So if you are to buy some DVDs of the fall guy, go for the originals wich are of prefect quality and buy them wright here at amazone, the trouble free market place!André, Rimouski, Quebec, Canada

The Fall Guy...Complete Season One Rocks!
I watched The Fall Guy as a young kid, and though I do not remember every episode, I have now been reminded of just how much I enjoyed the show. Here it is 25 years later, and I am enjoying it even more now than I did then. The Fall Guy is unique in today's world of reality TV, game shows, and who wants a new mommy or babysitter...whatever. The Fall Guy featured lots of action, with a few awesome stunts, some gold old fashion bare-knuckle brawling, and sexy women. Yet somehow, the show was clean, good natured, and the good guy wins. It seems Hollywood just can make shows this enjoyable anymore. If you watched The Fall Guy when it aired, then this DVD set is a complete no brainer. If you have never seen it, I would suggest maybe buying one episode through Amazon's video on demand so you can get a feel for the show. Trust me; you will want to get the entire season on DVD! I am looking forward now to getting Season 2, and eventually the complete series collection. If you have kids, please consider introducing them to The Fall Guy. I think it's something they will really enjoy, and it can teach them a thing or two about doing what's right as well. That's hard to find on television these days! In the meantime, I will enjoy watching this season a few times and feeling young again. As one reviewer stated, it's almost worth the price of the set for the theme song...gotta love it!

Full US, pas de sous-titrage en français ni de VF
Pas de sous-titrage en français ni de VF dans cette édition. trouver en DVD cette série maintenant est un peu difficile surtout si on ne veut pas investir beaucoup. En même temps, les séries US des années 80, pas besoin d'avoir fait Saint Cyr pour comprendre l'intrigue !Je préfère les versions US de cette série, cela nous épargne l'horrible chanson du générique français, très éloignée de celle pleine d'humour et bien faite de la version originale. Cela nous évite aussi les intonations surjouées et hyper machistes de la VF.Sinon c'est de la feel good série ! Bonne lumières, bonne musique, bonne caméras, des scènes en extérieurs, pas d'effets spéciaux numériques, ça nous change de la piètre qualité des séries actuelles qui parviennent à être encore plus stéréotypées.Et beaucoup de cascades grâce à une astuce très simple : acheter les scènes de cascades tournées pour d'autres films (souvent des séries B), trouver un scenario dans lequel les incorporer, tourner les scènes manquantes, monter le tout, et ça fait une série pleine d'action avec 3 belles courses poursuites par épisode.Si, comme moi, vous aimez Los Angeles et l'american dream des années 80, les voitures US de ces années, les scènes de cascades, et les archétypes, foncez, sinon évitez ;-)))
