The Fall Guy was a 1981 – 1986 ABC series spanning five seasons. It starred Lee Majors as Colt Seaver, a stunt man who moonlights as a bounty hunter. He is accompanied on his adventures by his cousin Howie, who is also in the stunt industry and friend Jody. Cameos and humorous refrences to earlier Majors roll Col. Steve Austin (Six Million Dollar Man) served as a running series gag. The Fall Guy Synopsis: Colt Seaver (Lee Majors) is a Hollywood Stuntman who pursues fugitives in his spare time. In every exciting episode, he uses tricks from the stunt trade to catch his mark. During the first season, he received assignments from Samantha “Big” Jack, played by Jo Ann Pflug. Then, for seasons two through four, Markie Post portrayed his new boss, Terri Michaels. The final season had Pearl Sperling as Nedra Volz as his contact. Each episode was action packed and exciting with plenty of sex appeal. In an interesting bit of TV trivia, Majors actually performed the theme song, “The Unknown Stuntman.” In Devil's Island, Mark Goddard stars as Fred Doyle, a man who wants a woman named Mary Connors (Lindsay Wagner) detained in Mexico long enough to miss testifying in the trial of his boss.
