Five US running order - season two

That helps a LOT, Annie and thanks for taking the time to post that list. Yes, they are running the episodes in the order in which they originally aired as opposed to the episode order in which the shows were filmed.

Below is a season two episode guide that has been on the net since 1995 that seems to list the episodes in production order. I'm attempting to compile a list of episodes in production order. Sometimes a TV station will air episodes of a series in the filmed order. Back in 1996 here in Atlanta, GA USA, a local station WVEU TV 69 ran "The Fugitive" in production order instead of the network aired order. The networks air episodes in order of completion in terms of music, special effects, etc. If you watch the classic 1960's "Star Trek" in production order you can see the show evolve much better than if you view them the way they originally aired. I really noticed a big difference with "The Fugitive" since in production order, there is far greater story and character continuity. I suspect that the same will be true with "The Fall Guy" since the cast seemed to loosen up and become a working family as the series progressed, and I'd like to watch this evolution in proper order.


Thanks again, Annie for the list!

Here is what MAY be the season two production order(unconfirmed at this point in my research):



--------------------------------------------------------------------
Fall Guy -- Season 2 (Terri is bailbondswoman)

2-1 WIN ONE FOR THE GIPPER 1/5/83

Colt's nephew and a friend are kidnapped by some army men who
want to have a winning football team.

(IT MAKES SENSE THAT "WIN ONE FOR THE GIPPER" would have been filmed first since American Football season begins in September. The episode did not air until January 5th, 1983 basically when pro and college ball is over for the season and in the story, the season had not yet begun, so I am inclined to believe that this episode guide is genuinely presented in the actual order that the episodes were shot)

2-2

Annie,


Speaking of "The Molly Sue", I really enjoy that episode. Colt's thorn in his side Kay Faulkner was supposed to return in that one, but Judith Chapman was not available for whatever reason, so they wrote her "co-worker" into the script replacing Faulkner. Robert Davi(the villain in the James Bond film "License to Kill") made his first appearance in "The Fall Guy" here(he was also in the season four episode "Dead Bounty"). What is unique is that some of the bad guys are actually KILLED for a change! Check out the wicked helicopter chase scene where Ace uses his piloting skill to outmaneuver and permanently take out the thugs who are shooting at our heroes in the plane from their choppers! There were other episode where the antogonists actually deservedly die, but this is one of the best examples.

I also love how Ace refuses to give up as he tries to romance "Miss Stacy." Howie was great with his enthusiastic praise and spirited admiration of Ace.


Man, I had a tought time locating this episode on film for my film collection of episodes. I found a print of "The Molly Sue" just over a year ago thanks to a fellow "Fall Guy" fan and film collector in Germany. This person had already sold the print to someone else in Germany and he gave me the email of the dude who had purchased the print from him. I contacted the guy and we made a deal. I was extremely lucky to locate this episode and I treasure this film print a bit more than many others in my library since it was such a challenge to find it. All I need now are a few 5th season episodes and one more episode from the first year and I'll have the entire series on film as well as a rare unaired version of the pilot movie with Janet Leigh in which Lee Majors does NOT sing the iconic theme song. Right now I have all of season 2,3 and 4 on fujicolor LPP no fade 16mm film. Film is fun since you can pipe the sound through stereo speakers for HUGE movie theater sound(explosions and crashes sound INCREDIBLE), project the image larger than life and screen the episode(s)
OUTDOORS like a drive-in for the neighbors!

according to the tv magazine what's on tv five US are going start showing series 1 of the fall guy in the 6 pm slot from Friday 7th September. whether they will show series 3 when the fall guy is shown at 2pm. i don't know.unfortunately five US do not have the rights to series 3.
