*'' [[The Fall Guy]]'' (1981-1986)- An action/adventure television series originally airing on ABC. The show was about a stuntman who moonlights as a bounty hunter using his skills as a stuntman to catch the bad guys. A scene from the intro shows of a biplane running through a farm yard before crashing into the side of a barn. This causes the stuntman ‘Colt’ to be thrown out from the crashed biplane. The following scene continues with Colt being thrown into the hay in effect 'hitting the hay'.  To conclude stunt the stuntman covers his head with his hands burying his face into the hay while exploiting his uncompromising yet embarrassing situation he "Hey Hey"s himself to attention in song. Actually this scene in The Fall Guy intro was borrowed from a scene from a movie Singin’ in the Rain. In season 2, episode 18 of The Fall Guy, titled ‘Guess Who’s Coming to Town’, the episode starts out with Colt performing a stunt from a Robert Redford movie The Great Waldo Pepper. As the biplane gains altitude to avoid crashing into the barn, it wasn’t high enough to avoid Colt from doing the same. Colt crashes through the barn roof and winds up falling into the hay (in effect hitting the hay).
