Review of The Fall Guy

The Fall Guy (1981–1986)
10/10
The glorious 80s, when a season really meant 24 episodes - man up!
25 September 2016
The Fall Guy represented an era when actors and actresses really had to earn their pay by getting ratings across 24 episodes in a season, unlike now where a season can run for 8 episodes and rate 1.5 on a good night, and be considered a "critical breakout success" because they cover "politically correct" agenda items. Of course due respect to those who do that kind of 8 episode work.

The Fall Guy was one of the best of the 80s and it's an era that in some ways reflected the glory days of Reagan-Bush (the Bush Sr), with no action spared, an incredibly attractive Heather Thomas (she should have got her own show), and Lee Majors being The Man. No time for being distracted by social issues if you know what I mean.
