#I might roll a brand new car#
I always remember The Fall Guy's invasion on the British TV screens in the 1980s and the typical things added in with the classic opening of "The Unknown Stuntman" song. In fact, this goes to Lee Majors from his earlier stint starring as Steve Austin in Six Million Dollar Man to another Glen A. Larson creation of "The Fall Guy" about the unknown stuntman and so-called bounty hunter Colt (Coltrane?)Seavers. The plots generally worked out fine from starting with Colt's "on screen" stunt work to usually hunting down and tricking criminals whom evade justice being centred mostly in and around Los Angeles with sidekick assistant from a slightly flustered Howie and sparkling Jodie. I like the course of the action scenes, some stunts with the use of a large wheeled pick up and Colt armed with a gun that he normally uses on a film set and fires just blank shots. Some well known guest screen names have appeared on some episodes and quibbles aside, some of the scenes were quite funny when Colt goes knocking on somebody's door usually only to get an edgy and unfriendly welcome along with some of the endings were when Howie outspokenly blew Colt's chances of meeting a girl together with an unplugged food vending machine. Some of the lyrics from The Unknown Stuntman are funny and the most funniest is when it goes; #I might roll a brand new car#. Ha Ha Ha. I wonder how many have rolled about in a brand new car.score 7/10
