Theme song

• Well, I'm not the kind to kiss and tell, But I've been seen with Farrah.
  I've never been with anything less than a nine, so fine.
  I've been on fire with Sally Field, gone fast with a girl named Bo.
  But somehow they just don't end up as mine...
  It's a death-defying life I lead, I'll take my chances.
  I've died for a living in the movies and TV.
  But the hardest thing I'll ever do is watch my leading ladies,
  Kiss some other guy while I'm bandaging my knee.

  I might fall from a tall building, I might roll a brand-new car,
  'Cause I'm the unknown stuntman that made Redford such a star.

  • The Ballad of the Unknown Stuntman, written by David Troy Somerville / Gail Jensen / Glen Larson; sung by Lee Majors

Season 1

The Fall Guy [1.01]

Colt Seavers: [to a thug holding a .22 target pistol on him] You shoot me with that, son, I'm liable to get mad.

---

Jody Banks: Colt. If you're going to play cop, at least use real bullets.

---

Colt Seavers: Howie, what are you doing here? Why aren't you still in college?

Howie Munson: It's a long story, Colt.

Colt Seavers: Yeah, well just give me the Reader's Digest version.

---

James Coburn: That was far-and-away the most exciting stunt I've ever seen in my life, Colt --- all that fire and chaos!

Colt Seavers: Yeah, well, it felt pretty good --- I thought I'd died and gone to Hell!

James Coburn: Lock that meddling guy up and throw away the key!

Colt Seavers: Don't throw it too far --- he's a relative of mine!

The Meek Shall Inherit Rhonda [1.02]

Samantha 'Big Jack' Jack: Look, Colt, do you wanna earn an easy ten grand or not?

Samantha 'Big Jack' Jack: Look, don't blame me for that --- I'd had no idea that it was just a ceramic cat!

Colt's Angels [1.05]

Howie Munson: Think about it, Colt. A team of Hollywood stuntmen, working undercover with the FBI...

Colt Seavers: What is that, a police job or a TV series?

Guess Who's Coming to Town? [1.17]

Jackie Turlock: Mr. Seavers, get out of town!
