Classic TV Theme: The Fall Guy

Поділитися
Вставка
  • Опубліковано 7 бер 2021
  • Usually when a show is created, the theme is written to reflect the show. But with 'The Fall Guy' it was the other way around. Producers already had the theme (written for a series that never got off the ground) now all they needed was the show to build around it. And they got one that ran for five seasons. It had action and humor, plus occasional star cameos. And that theme song - by David Somerville, Gail Jensen, and Glen Larson - stuck around for the entire run. The visuals under it did change a bit, so we have two opening title sequences (one includes the first-season explainer narrated by Majors), plus two end credits rolls with different arrangements. At first the singer was identified as Colt Seavers (Majors' character name) but in later seasons it read 'Lee Majors'.
    00:00 Opening titles, with explainer (season one).
    02:56 End credits.
    03:25 Opening titles (with Heather Thomas).
    05:06 End credits (revised).

    5 year old me back in 1982 would sing along every week to this epic theme song. Lee Majors was that dude. I was the only black kid in school singing "The Unknown Stuntman." Hell, even the white kids didn't know what I was singing because they were too young to understand this show. But the Fall Guy, Remington Steele, BJ and the Bear, Hardcastle & McCormick, Simon & Simon, Magnum PI, A-Team, Knight Rider, Manimal, AirWolf, Buck Rogers, Blue Thunder, The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo, Werewolf, Hart to Hart, and Mike Hammer!
    Yeah it was cartoons during the day, and adult themed shows at night every week!
    I love my childhood!👍🏾

It's just a story of a boy trying to get back a girl, with action around it. which reminds there was less of that between Colt and Jody--it wasn't the TV show "moonlighting". which makes an interesting story of people working together. Its Gosling trying not to be a pretty boy and not trying to be Ken....while Lee Majors played a weary older guy who did his job and wanted to soak in a tub afterward. us older guys could relate to this :)

Nowadays that same 60 minute slot you will get 38 minutes of show and 22 minutes of commercials.
