Ralph works with Bill to dodge professional killers while transporting a beautiful and flirtatious FBI informant to testify against her drug-dealing mobster boyfriend.

[@garyc39]

Connie Sellecca was gorgeous.She had eyes to die for.

[@josephwanjiku6853]

Can't get over all these gorgeous 80s ladies. Before plastic surgery, each lady was a unique work of art.

[@jesterwaterwizard2917]

Bring the 80s back xx

[@floridapmi]

I too grew up in the 80's and it was great, but everybody believes their generation was great especially the older they get. It is because we had no worries, no bills, no kids to take care of. The only problems we had were if we did our homework or if the girl, we were crushing on liked us back.

[@Nocturnal11Guy]

I loved this show back in the 80's! It was quirky, silly and a bit campy, but I didn't care. I loved watching every episode.

[@kahliatangazi448]

Robert Culp is so hilarious! I"ve only seen him in drama roles, very fun to him as comic relief.

[@petermgruhn]

Try him in "I Spy."

[@geraldsmith591]

I remember Robert Culp from the TV show Track down

[@henrysalami7593]

Yeah hes on cosby too .. a string of shows .. great actor we miss

[@stoogefest16]

I’m so use to his demeanor on Columbo that seeing him let loose here seems almost out of character or off-type for him.

[@djgizmoe]

I don't think the show ever got any better than this. Great writing and performances all around.

[@josepablolunasanchez1283]

Some entertainment aged poorly like "13 prehistoric women" movie. This show aged like a classic.

[@Timtime67]

They changed Ralph's last name from hinckley to Hanley. Because hinckley shot Reagan. I believe by episode 2 it had happened.

[@phillipbrown2318]

Stephen j Cannell was Masterful in writing these shows Rockford A team and this show.

[@TheKitchenerLeslie]

His son died before the second season, so the show got a little darker after that.

You're just getting old. All old people say that. When we're young everything is exciting and the future is bright. When we're old, been there done that, and the dark end is near. I wish the old would would actually be wise and stop projecting "aging depression" on the new generations. The world is theirs, we've had our chance. And they won't do any worse than we did. Usually better.

[@mattd6755]

I love re-watching these shows through adult eyes. I forgot how much I loved that THEME SONG!

Rest in peace Robert Culp

That smile at the end to camera sums up this show...love it!

[@katherynemero9355]

I used to watch this show when I was a kid. I loved it. As an adult, I appreciate the brilliance of Robert Culp. He's hilarious. He's mean. He's pushy. He's intelligent. He gets stuff done. Seriously, I'm in love with him. He's perfect.

[@dariaeliuk4377]

He’s basically the Bruce Campbell Prototype

[@hifiandrew]

Watching as a kid I never forgot about Maxwell. Culp steals the show.

[@whateveritwasitis]

me too, it was my favorite show and also one i couldnt watch as a punishment. dear god its horrible lol, but not when i was 6.

[@marilynsnider8183]

It cracked me up every time I watched it.

[@MrClajen]

Have seen him in many movies even hes not topstar you remember him

[@chocolatechip12]

When I was 3, I thought this was a show about a clumsy superhero. Now as an adult, I know that it's a show about a slightly unhinged FBI agent and his two sidekicks.

[@jonathanbrown7250]

LOL, so true

[@robertthomas5736]

Connie Selleca ,Surprised, The Cast, proving that She,Indeed, Could Play, at Comedy

[@gregorysagegreene]

Was never that keen on Katt, although he filled out the role of bumbling competently. Culp's a legend, let's face it. And Connie - a dish, with substance - back when they still had that of course. Finding a 'wind at your back' nowadays is anathema.

[@billyfoster3223]

Katt was funny in this role and as good an actor as any of them. Culp was old school cool, and Selleca was of course wonderful looking, so anyway, just a few thoughts. Funny and campy show.

[@henrysalami7593]

Loved her in hotel .. that gil gerrard was lucky

[@henrysalami7593]

Katt was on mash when alda was hanging from helicopter as santa episode

[@martwallace6072]

I grew up watching this show,& so many like it. They really don't make 'em like they used to. ❤the 80's.

[@user-ty6do8yz4l]

And the 70s were even better! For me, it was the 70s-1986. After that, things just started to feel darker. Sadly those days are gone forever. Hopefully we'll see Robert Culp, or even James Garner again....

[@NancySanders-om4ic]

​@@user-ty6do8yz4lI don't think so,Culp,Garner died several years ago,unfortunately.

[@Bill-yt9pq]

No sows like the 80's tv line ups.

They never did make them like they used to.....😊

[@bobstewart8032]

I had to laugh at the line when he said Bill looks like an ad for an insurance company. I thought of Mayhem. Lol

Such a great show. The acting was top notch. Brings back so much memory

[@jessfrankel5212]

The actress playing Scarlet is channeling Harley Quinn before Harley was created. Good episode. I really loved this show.

[@shakenama]

The tank car scene was filmed at my school. William S. Hart High in Newhall, CA. I still remember them setting up the camera and the fake gatlin pop gun that shot out sparks.

So kool! Thanks for including the details of shooting

They Didn't Think That,Miss Connie Selleca, Could Be Funny, She Proved Them Wrong!❤

[@jonathanbrown7250]

I didn't kniw they thought that. So wrong. Pam and Bill going at it is the funniest part of the show

[@jameslaiola4976]

Bill is awesome

[@ITPalGame]

Robert Culp actually talked like that, with the pauses, inflections. He plays himself in everything practically.

[@bryanbell9103]

I like how he just shoots a few rounds in the car blind at Johnny Russo.

[@kevinnelson66]

Robert Culp was a method actor. He pretty much became Bill Maxell 24/7 during the show's production. Pissed off his wife a few times.

[@robvangessel3766]

Robert Culp is hilarious.

[@myfingershurt3489]

Connie looks so fine with her glasses in the intro. Im a 37 yr old guy and i love this show. Yeah it was cheesey but it was the 80s. The song just hits you hard. Music had meaning back then and actually wrote with great singers. I'm an old soul kinda guy for my age.

[@herrdirektor1969]

Followed a few when I was a kid. However, not from the start and it was never rerun again. Glad I found the whole series to relive a bit of childhood nostalgia.

[@chuckwalla2967]

Man I love the 80's shows and their background music. Whatever happened to theme songs?

[@erinpekar5732]

Internet and streaming is what happened. Back in the day, theme songs where part of the marketing to grab people's attention when they where flipping through channels. Now, people just have to pull up the info guide to see if it's worth watching.

[@dan2007kohn]

Less time to theme music means more time for advertisements

[@patriciamoraga1955]

Yes!? I Agree?!👍 I Also Would like to Know What Ever Happened to Most of These Theam Songs?? It's Been Way, Way, Way, to Many Year's To Hear Some of These Theam Songs From TV Shows & Movies 🎦🎬🎞️🎫😊😊😊😊😊😊

one would think it wouldn't be so hard to get bunch of high school drama club members to appear as extras. if not high school, college freshmans in drama club or students of performing art schools.

I'm really enjoying all the music used throughout the series. Also, I'd forgotten how much I love the theme song. 🎶 Theme song from the TV series 'The Greatest American Hero' (song titled: "Believe It or Not") is composed by Mike Post with lyrics by Stephen Geyer, and sung by American singer Joey Scarbury. 🎶

Was that Ronnie Dunn singing @ 21:00? Years before Brooks and Dunn was founded.

[@ariscaprice7766]

It's also the theme song to WINGS, which is how I discovered it

[@HoldenNY22]

Its Funny how Michael Pare and Faye Grant became pretty successful in the Acting Business due to this TV Show.

[@gregorysagegreene]

Pare really wasn't that great. No more so than that other 'pretty face' from the 'Warriors' movie and 'Xanadu' ... forgettable, in time. At least Grant got a big part in 'V', which was - yes - very memorable.

[@robertthomas5736]

Faye Grant was a Star on This Show and V-The Original Series

The hit car later showed up in an episode of The A-Team. It can be seen in the background in the Watkins repair yard in the episode A Nice Place to Visit.

[@clinkencrew1806]

Wow, it is uncanny how much Bill (Robert Culp) in this is like an early version of Sam Axe (Bruce Campbell) from Burn Notice. Having only seen him in vintage Westerns, I didn't know he had a "comedic-serious" side like this.

[@Madbandit77]

@Diane Newman Actually, Culp was a regular on Trackdown, which was a Western. m.imdb.com/title/tt0050071/

[@Madbandit77]

Matt Nix, who created Burn Notice, was influenced by the late Stephen J. Cannell, who created The Greatest American Hero.

[@kevynhansyn2902]

You are exactly right. And Bruce Cambell was in a Western as well. Let's hope no one forgot that.

[@RodneyisGodney]

@@kevynhansyn2902 "The Adventures of Brisco County Jr". Loved that show!

Mr Culp was in an episode of "The Golden Girls," playing Blanche's boyfriend after she had a pacemaker for her "heart condition." It was a very funny,realistic episode,too!

No gotta go Willie Katt on that one lol

[@steveadams1850]

My girlfriend at the time loved this show. She made me watch "Eddie and The Cruisers," because she liked Michael Pare. I have to admit. It's a pretty good movie. Then I became a fan of this show too, and Bill Maxwell was my favourite character.

Found a video with William Katt auditioning for the roll of Luke Skywalker. He and Mark Hamill are definitely the same type and he would’ve done fine as our favorite Jedi. Just would’ve been weird seeing Luke with a blond fro!

[@shawnnelson6146]

Quirky early 80's tv show. one the few that was watchable by ages

[@JohnKonczal-if5bd]

No doubt about it, the show was a downright parody of Superman - but fun to watch. The episode I remember the most was when our hero had to enter the 4th Dimension to rescue a little girl. It was the only time in the series where "the suit" was damaged; by a creature which guarded the entrance. Creepy and spooky. As always Robert Culp was great as FBI agent Bill Maxwell. (I believe that was his character's name)

Have you never heard of "mirroring"? It is when the camera flips the image, like a mirror. Once the image is on film, it can be flipped also. I have seen many images used in a tv show that are also used as a preview shot for the intro to the show. The intro cut has someone walking right to left, the same scene in show shows the movement from left to right. That issue is likely just that. I am sure it is possible to get the staging wrong, but mabe it is just visual flipping.
