Anybody like "The Fall Guy" with Lee Majors??? I watched this show in reruns in the late 80's and into the early 90's and it was an awesome show. I always enjoyed Lee Majors in everything he did: The Big Valley and The Six Million Dollar Man. The whole cast of The Fall Guy was super!!! I like Markie Post's character better than I do Jo Ann Pflug's character. Markie was more prettier than Jo Ann was. I also miss this show,but they show it on FOX CABLE NETWORK which I don't get. Hopefully a major network will pick up the reruns to this great show!!!

I liked the Fall Guy, too! Sometimes that sidekick of his would bother me a little bit, but it was a good show!

I meant the male sidekick, not Heather Thomas. She never bothered me! Well, not in a bad way.

Agree with you there about Heather Thomas!!! She was very pretty and still is!!! About The Fall Guy in general,why did they move it in the last season from Wednesday nights where it was receiving very good ratings to Thursday nights opposite The Cosby Show,to me that was the biggest mistake they did in putting a well-established show up against the number 1 show in America,that was when it went downhill,plus when Markie Post left to do Night Court. To me,1982-1985 were the peak seasons of The Fall Guy.

I used to be a fan of The Fall Guy. I used to watch it in the early 80's. Lee Majors was a good actor on there. I thought Heather Locklear used to play on there? I forgot Markie Post was on there. Markie used to be cute. What was Lee Majors sidekick's real name? What was his name on the show also? I remember the Six Million Dollar Man & Bionic Woman. I used to watch that too.

Isiah,it was Heather Thomas who played Jody on the Fall Guy. Don't worry,I get Heather Thomas and Heather Locklear confused myself. Lee Majors' sidekick was named Howie Munson,who was also Colt Seavers' cousin and was played by Doug Barr.

I was a big fan of the old show The Fall Guy which aired in reruns on FX at 3:00 pm
I was glad FX aired The Fall Guy I do wish another cable televison station would get The Fall Guy the last local station I saw The Fall Guy here was on WVUE-8 in New Orleans at 2:35 am.

It would be nice if they had a Fall Guy Reunion Movie with Lee,Heather,Doug and Markie.

Flash72 · 05-02-2003, 10:58 PM

Also the theme song to this series, sung by Lee himself, was one of the best ever.

Harper49 · 05-02-2003, 11:04 PM

I would like to see it on the hallmark channel that would be a fine place.

I loved The Fall Guy. I remember watching this show all the time F/X in 1997. And it was also quite funny when he always falls and screams.

donald snl · 11-28-2003, 06:13 PM

i kind of liked it i even have a fall guy thermos . as to why they moved it from wed. to thur. the season before it had been getting clobbered in the ratings by highway to heven but i dont think moving a show like that to thur. was a good idea who knows maybe abc was just tired of it and was hoping no one would watch then they could be rid of it networks do that all the time when a show has outlived its usefulness to them

I watched The Fall Guy in its original run, and became a fan right away. It would be a real treat to see it brought back in reruns!

I agree.

It would great if it was picked up by TVland or put on DVD

Sosafan21 · 10-31-2004, 04:42 AM

I loved and watched the Fall Guy for Jody, just being honest. I loved when she would wear those tight jeans, those sexy dress shirts, never would change the channel if she was on.

I loved that one season where during the opening credits she was wearing a blue bikini and came out of the swinging doors.

Heather Thomas was HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not the kind to kiss and tell, but I've been seen with farrah...

LOL, I loved the fall guy. And I had the hots for Heather Thomas too. Man did she look good.
