Line 3:
The main characters:
* Colt Seavers (''[[The Six Million Dollar Man]]'' Lee Majors) is an experienced Hollywood stuntman who discovered that life in Southern California,
* Jody Banks (Heather Thomas) is probably one of Hollywood's hottest stuntwomen. She was the only other member of Colt's stunt team before Howie showed up.
* Howie Munson (Douglas Barr) is Colt's little cousin. He had about a zillion jobs, none for longer than a year, before he came to Hollywood and try his hand at being a stuntman together with Colt, much to the latter's dismay. He also tries to hit on Jody, much to ''her'' dismay.

* [[Action Girl]]: Jody.
* [[Awkwardly
* [[Bounty Hunter]]: Colt's second job.
* [[The Cameo]]: Lots. Most notably, [[Elvira, Mistress of the Dark|Elvira]] who develops a major crush on Colt.▼
* [[Call Back]]: In one episode, Colt uses a small catapult to jump over a fence in much the same way Lee Majors (or rather his stunt doubles) simulated bionic jumping in ''[[The Six Million Dollar Man]]''.
▲* [[The Cameo]]: Lots. Most notably, [[Elvira, Mistress of the Dark|Elvira]] who develops a major crush on Colt.
* [[Chase Scene]]/[[Hot Pursuit]]: At least one, preferably multiple per episode.
** Also, stock footage of chase scenes from various movies is incorporated into the opening credits.
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: At the beginning of an episode, Colt has to do a stunt on set. He'll have to redo the same stunt later on while bounty-hunting.
* [[Cool Car]]: Colt's GMC Sierra 4×4 pick-up truck. Two-tone paint job, rollbar, and a 6" bodylift that cost it its ability to corner but made [[Ramp Jump|one high jump per episode]] more credible.
* [[Distracted
* [[Every Car Is a Pinto]]: Yep.
▲* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Jody.
* [[Opening Narration]]: Colt gives one about the hard life of a stuntman in the first season.
* [[Platonic Life Partners]]: Colt and Jody are even sharing the same house. The reason might be Hollywood housing costs.
Line 33 ⟶ 31:
** When Colt is sitting in his outdoor bathtub, someone calls him on the phone.
* [[Stunt Double]]: The show is all about stuntpeople. In one episode, Colt even has to double Lee Majors' real-life wife, Farrah Fawcett.
* [[Took a Level
* [[Under Crank]]: Had to be done in [[Chase Scene|chase scenes]] because the bodylift on Colt's truck would have caused it to tip over in halfway fast corners.
* [[Vanity License Plate]]: FALL GUY on Colt's truck.
