View Full Version : Any Fans Of Lee Majors' The Fall Guy (1981-1986) Out There? Need Missing Episode
Black Sheep One 01-14-2020, 07:04 PM This post concerns the 1981-1986 Lee Majors TV series The Fall Guy, which unfortunately has only had Season 1 released officially in the US, with Season 2 released in the UK in PAL format, by the original owners. The rest of the series has not been released. I've had to settle for collectors sets consisting of Seasons 3, 4 and 5 which were never released anywhere but have only
aired in the US in syndication, the UK (Season 3) and French TV (Seasons 4 and 5).
I am mainly missing the Season 5 episode No Rms Ocean Vu. The only presently existing copy in collector sets is an incomplete 22 minute version
that is missing the second half. Someone on Youtube has posted a Part 1 in English and Part 2 in French version, which does me no good as I don't speak or understand French, lol.... There has also been a German version in past
on Youtube, same problem. Current collector sets either have the incomplete copy or no copy at all.
I am therefore looking for the following episodes:
Season 4-
Terror U (mine is from F/X, in Widescreen; need a Full Screen copy)
Sandcastles
Dead Bounty
Rockabye Baby
I need upgrades on all of the above (mine are from the 90's, VHS-DVD)
Season 5-
A Fistful Of Lire- have but need upgrade.
No Rms Ocean Vu- need full version, all in English please.
Since the studio of origin's film library was purchased by Disney last year,
chances of an official release of The Fall Guy on DVD as a complete series
is I'm pretty sure absolutely none whatsoever.
Thanks for reading in advance.

MRPITT 01-14-2020, 10:32 PM I enjoy the show. I was bummed I wasn’t able to get any of the episodes during the decades binge. Though they were mostly Seasons 1 & 2. Maybe they will air more in the future. I will keep an eye out for those.
Black Sheep One 01-14-2020, 11:15 PM I enjoy the show too. I just wish I could find a complete version of The Fall Guy-
Season 5 episode No Rms Ocean Vu, which all the FG fans have been looking for.
I really hate episodes that are incomplete and missing the beginning or end.
My copy of the pilot episode for Gavilan (1982) starring the late Robert Urich
is missing the beginning (first half). Trying to find the missing episodes of
Gavilan (7 counting a full version of the pilot) is like trying to find the
proverbial needle in a haystack. Thanks for writing, I appreciate it. :)
seanmc1114 01-15-2020, 09:19 AM I have the following network block from the original airing with commercials and bumpers:
WABC ABC New York, NY 10/17/84
1. The Fall Guy – “Terror U.”
2. Dynasty – “Fallon”
I also have a set of Fall Guy episodes I traded for years ago that I have never really catalogued. I will try to look through them and see if I have any of the other episodes you're looking for.
siblis 01-15-2020, 09:21 AM Rockabye Baby................I have this one, but not sure about quality.

Hi Sean,
Thanks for the reply. I would definitely be interested in that Terror U episode from The Fall Guy (I had no idea original airings from ABC were even in existence today!) since my copy from F/X on that collector set that has been constantly recirculated in the collectors market was done in Widescreen format (which didn't even make sense as the show was always in Full Screen). Please let me know at your convenience what episodes you find in your set. I really need a complete version of No Rms Ocean Vu from Season 5 preferably totally in English (lol) to replace this incomplete version.... I greatly appreciate your assistance. :) Keep in touch. Thanks again.
Black Sheep One 01-15-2020, 10:39 AM Rockabye Baby................I have this one, but not sure about quality.
Hi, Thanks for the reply. No hurry on it, just check the quality of it when you can and get back to me at your convenience. I do have a copy of Rockabye Baby (Season 4) from the 90's Bravo TV station airing where the quality isn't great but at least all the songs were included in the episode. It's certainly better than this incomplete copy of No Rms Ocean Vu from Season 5 that's incomplete from the same collector set that Rockabye Baby was on which has constantly been recirculated in the collector market all these years. Speaking of that, Youtube had a copy of the episode that was shorter in length cut down to about 35 minutes because the Motown songs in the episode were all copyright and had to be edited from it. Of course the episode made no sense after that. Makes me glad I at least have the Bravo copy which is to the best of my knowledge complete, even though the quality isn't the greatest compared to the retail sets of Seasons 1 and 2.
What I'm really in bad need of is a complete version of No Rms Ocean Vu from Season 5 preferably all in English. So far nothing has turned up except for the half in English-half in French version (and a German version I think too) that's been posted on Youtube. Of course the foreign language versions don't do me any good whatsoever as I don't understand either French or German....lol.
At any rate, let me know when possible. Thanks again. :)
Oh guys you rock... I am also after ANY Fall guy original airings (but not DVD editions)
I have about 15 episodes taped from TV, am happy to trade with you.
I have Terror U, and Sandcastles
Excellent condition
I am mainly after any original Season 2 (from TV not DVD) and full length pilot. Possibly others too.
