    • Quotes

      [opening segment of the series after the credits]

      Colt Seavers: [narrating] This is the story of one of America's great unsung heroes. I mean you've seen him, but you never knew who he was. You've cheered for him and cried for him and women have wanted to die for him. But did he ever get any credit, or the girl? No! He's what we call the "Stuntman", and the reason I'm talking so fondly about him is, well because it's me, Colt Seavers. Anyway, picture work isn't wall-to-wall employment, so maybe you wonder how a guy keeps his head together? Well, one way is to wait by the phone... and wait and wait. The other is to take an occasional job with the court system of the United States of America, where a man is considered innocent until proven guilty. Unfortunately, sometimes a lot of these people get out of jail on what we call bail and they'd run like hell!... and that's where I come in. I sometimes pick up rent money trying to find them and bring them back to justice.

    • Alternate versions
      For its German DVD release, the show was dubbed again (with the original voice cast) because the rights to the original dubbing were not owned by Fox and were too expensive to acquire. Additionally the first dubbing was incomplete (because some episodes were cut and some were not dubbed at all).

      Edited from The Poseidon Adventure (1972)

    "Great to grow up w/"
    Simply put, this is one of the best series a boy could grow up watching. Good ol, rowdy fighting, truck driving, red-neck woman watching entertainment. Though it lacked any true story line, the show made up for it in every other aspect. Unlike all of these reality shows that I can't seem to get off my TV. We need a new show that focuses on a regular blue collared no B.S. kind of MAN with morals, big truck, and beautiful blonde assistant.

    I would love to see the show available on DVDs. I do however have mixed feelings about a remake of the show. Some things shouldn't be altered. However, if there is one made, I need to get on the ball and buy a truck like the one Colt had,(love to have one anyway) but now the price value more than triples after a movie is made w/ a great vehicle.
