Default 928 in "The Fall Guy"

Here are some screen grabs of an early Porsche 928 & a Ferrari 308 GTS in a chase scene from an episode of 'The Fall Guy' called 'Child's Play' (March 1982)!

Very cool! I'm always looking at old 80's TV shows for glimpses of 928s.

Looks like an OB with added "S" front and rear spoilers.

My daughter and I watched a cartoon called "BATMAN YEAR ONE", and there were 2 928s in the show.
As a matter of fact, Bruce Wayne drove one lol.
Good choice, Batman!!!

Wow that was horrible, except for the 928. Just found the episode online and watched it, rather skipped to the end to the 928 bits. And to think I used to watch this show in the 70s or 80s and like it! The acting and production leaves, um, a little to be desired.

Used to have the hots for Heather Graham when I was a teenager. Don't have the heart to look her up and see how she has aged....

I think you are thinking of Heather Thomas...

I had a poster of her in a red Bodyglove wetsuit when I was in highschool...

And aged quite nicely!

Hey she's looking really good for tacking on 30 years since Fall Guy. Not what I feared. One other note about that episode, Heather is in a bikini, about half way through.

The show was weak, but everyone watched it for Heather, who also briefly owned a white 928 mentioned here before. She was the prettiest woman of the 80's and has aged better than all but 1 imo.

Hooray for pixelation #7.
I remember thinking when the original was captured by our aerial antenna, jeez that poor kid...

Good thing they found some dirt so the Ljet could spin the tires and flare some turns..

Here's where I watched it. Lots of commercials you can't skip over. You've been warned it's bad!
