Thumbs up The Fall Guy

Do you guys remember the Fall Guy w/Lee Majors??? My girlfriend was burning a CD for me, and I told her I wanted the theme song on it and she didnt have a clue what the Fall Guy was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldnt believe it. I'm 21, so I was young when it was on, and then I watched it on reruns, after it got cancelled, growing up. I wanted to be Colt when I grew up. Even though he drove a Chevy, I loved that show!!!! What do you guys think?

Its not that I "liked" the truck so much, but I didnt dislike it if you know what I mean. It was cool thats for sure, but heck thats when Chevy still made a decent truck. I've been checking to see if its on reruns anywhere and I cant find anything. I saw something theres rumors of a movie starring George Clooney as Colt(dont know what I think about that).

The Fall Guy was great. And of course, I was at an age where I appreciated Heather Locklear (or was it Heather Thomas, anyway, Heather) as well. I had the toys of course. My favorite being the bi-plane. It had foot pegs on the wing, so you could make the action figures "wing-walk". And you squeezed a trigger to make the prop spin. Curse you Mother, for throwing away the fortune I could have today!

Well, I'm not the kind to kiss and tell,
But I've been seen with Farrah.
I'm never seen with anything less than a nine, so fine.


I've been on fire with Sally Field,
Gone fast with a girl named Bo,
But somehow they just don't end up as mine.


It's a death defyin' life I lead,
I take my chances.
I die for a livin' in the movies and TV.
But the hardest thing I ever do,
Is watch my leadin' ladies,
Kiss some other guy while I'm bandagin' my knee.


I might fall from a tall building,
I might roll a brand new car.
'Cause I'm the unknown stuntman that made Redford such a star.


I never spent much time in school,
But I taught ladies plenty.
It's true I hire my body out for pay, Hey Hey.


I've gotten burned over Cheryl Tiegs,
Blown up for Raquel Welch.
But when I end up in the hay it's only hay, Hey Hey.


I might jump an open drawbridge,
Or Tarzan from a vine.
'Cause I'm the unknown stuntman that makes Eastwood look so fine.

I know about The Fall Guy, but I've never seen the show. However, a gotta say I really liked the Dodge Ram with the huge bumper on Simon & Simon.

I liked the Fall Guy, but my hero was always Steve Austin! Think they'll be bringing that back as a feature movie?

Believe it or not... my Aunt, dated the writer of that song, he even sang it with his guitar at a Thanksgiving dinner many yrs ago. He lived in the house on the hill with the outdoor tub. I have a Fall Guy Jacket somewhere... used to anyway..

I loved that show, and to this day, I'll never forget to not turn hard when driving down a hill. Sure, it makes sense, but the only reason I remember is because Colt taught me.
