Why, oh why do I punish myself so?
Speaking of The Fall Guy,...whatever happened to Heather Thomas? She was the only reason to watch that show back then....IMHO
I read her wikipedia page last night. Crazy stuff. Looks like Fall Guy was the height of her acting career. After that, just a few bit parts and 40 screenplays she never sold. It's a pretty solid read.
For FIFTY TWO, she still looks like she's held together pretty well, though with some assistance, methinks.
I also watched a very recent interview with Lee Majors last night, who is now SEVENTY TWO!! WOAH! For a frickin' old man, he held together REALLY well, but his speech is SLIGHLY slow. He still has pretty much the exact same sense of humor and wit, and seems really grateful for the time he spent on screen.
I hope he shoots his part as Heath's father in THE BIG VALLEY before too much more time passes.
I remember seeing Heather Thomas in Zapped with Scott Baio and Willy Aames but that's about it besides The Fall Guy.
By the way the second I read the thread title the theme song started in my head. Great.
I always loved the Fall Guy as a kid. I actually have the theme song in MP3. I heard Lee Majors is a pretty nice guy.
IMDB tipped me off to this German car commercial, which might be the greatest thing I've seen in weeks:

TOTALLY safe for work.
And here's the interview I was talking about. Interview chick seems like she's new to the job, or just doesn't know about pacing, but it's still really a great watch.

^ At least she knew enough to be quiet and let him finish answering her previous question (for the most part, anyway). I hate it when interviewers interrupt the answer just so they can ask the next question.
Back to The Fall Guy, one of the things I liked most about the show was that it finally allowed Majors to "show off" his sense of humor and let viewers know he didn't take himself too seriously. And it was just fun to watch!
I still think this one is the best:

Ugh now i have the theme song stuck in my head. We can't forget his small part in Scrooged where he saves Santa.
