The Fall Guy (1981)
TV Show
First aired
Lee Majors is Colt Seavers, a Hollywood stuntman who moonlights as a bounty hunter, which gives every episode an excuse to end with his big GMC pickup flying off something. Heather Thomas plays fellow stunt performer Jody Banks, and Majors sings the theme himself, "Unknown Stuntman," a cheerful gripe about never getting the credit.
The bail-jumper plots barely change from week to week. You watch for the car stunts and the backlot Hollywood setting, and both still deliver. If the 2024 Ryan Gosling movie sent you looking, this is the 113-episode original it loosely borrowed from.
