DVD for The Fall Guy




Lorenzo D.

When will ABC ever release this series onto dvd? I grew up in the '80's
watching this action show and loved it back then. And I would really
like to revisit the series if and whenever it comes out on dvd. I am
a big, loyal and longtime fan of both Lee Majors and Heather Thomas.
I enjoyed watching him in reruns of The Big Valley and in The Six
Million Dollar Man when it was on the air. And Heather Thomas was
in a low budget direct to video movie called Cyclone back in 1987.
Released just after the Fall Guy ended. Anyone have any updated
information for both of these favorite actors of mine? I would like
to read anything anyone has to post here. Just drop me a line.

I have been waiting for this show to come onto DVD for the longest time but do not want to invest money on any bootleg DVD's because I want the best quality you know. I keep checking Amazon.com to see if it is up for purchase and it keeps saying that it is not though and that I can put my name down for them to contact me when it does. I wished that TV Land would air that show. I do not understand some of these television stations why they do not air classic shows you know. I watch the Hallmark Channel and they will show MASH, Little House On The Prairie, The Waltons. Do not get me wrong those are good shows but I would like to see some of the shows I have not seen in ages. I wonder how that works you know on some of these stations when they pick up shows to put into syndication? Do they not look at the ratings at all? If they looked at the ratings from the time the show was on until the last year of the season when either the show was canceled or ended its self then they can figure out the numbers that way. I know if they would show some of the classic shows that I could list that I have not seen in ages then possibly someone out there will get the idea to air them. Sorry this is so long but I like to speak my opinion.

I just ran across this story on the official release of "The Fall Guy" on DVD:

I have been waiting on this series to come to DVD for years and I have bought a couple of bootleg sets of the whole series but both were crappy. Hopefully the story in the link is true.

I gotta say that if anybody involved in putting together and releasing the Fall Guy on DVD signed on to one of these message boards, they would probably be thinking "Man these DVDs are gonna sell like hotcakes". I saw a news item on GMTV over here in the UK talking about how sites that post user reviews on all kinds of products are becoming the new form of advertising and this probably applies to these message boards as well. Incredible when you think about how maybe a picture or even a rumor related to say a DVD collection's box art posted once can generate such a buzz and demonstrates the power of the Internet.
Any thoughts?
