The Fall Guy: Season One: DVD Review (2007)

8/09/2007 Posted by Admin

In 1981, well before the advent of computer-assisted stunt work, there was the real thing, which is what the first season of "The Fall Guy" is all about.

The show found Lee Majors not only belting out the theme song--itself a pop-culture oddity--but also suffering all sorts of action-packed stunts as Colt Savers.

The test of any show is whether it holds up through the years, and while "The Fall Guy" doesn't disappoint in echoing a bombastic decade with such episodes as “Ladies on the Ropes” and “The Meek Shall Inherit Rhonda,” the pleasure it once evoked seems better suited for the time in which it was conceived.

Grade: C+
