The Fugitive was based on a true story.A doctor named Richard Kimble was said to have slain his wife.But sfter 30 years Kimble's son claimed his father was wrongly convicted and imprisoned.His attorney,Terry Gilbert,introduced as evidence blood samples that recently underwent DNA testing.The blood was discovered to be that of someone other than Kimblle's.So,finally the defense lawyer cited DNA as evidence to prove that the accused was innocent...But DNA testing is not 100% .
The Fugitive was required viewing as were the other two Quinn-Martin productions, The Invaders and Run for your Life. The intros to these shows really set the tone in ways current intros don't. And the music, of course, was so great. After the first 30 seconds, you didn't want to be anywhere else, even if a particular episode wasn't so great.
Back when I was a TV-watching teen in the 1980s, I was hooked on old black and white tv shows. The Fugitive was awesome. Watched it religiously as reruns were played on one of my local PBS stations.
One of the best dramatic TV series to come out of the 1960's. It had the distinction of being the first TV show that had a finale in which the conflict was resolved. Very well written series with a lot of guest stars who went on to become movie stars or stars of their own TV shows.
Anybody who was in OI Division USS Oriskany (CVA 34) 67-71 remember "Doc" Kimble ? He was in O'Hare airport, tryin to get connecting flight to MADtown WI, runnin down the concourse with his seabag over his shoulder, and over the loudspeaker he hears "Kimble can stop running now, they caught the one-armed man !" Everybody cheers. In Madison WI though, I was called "baby-killer". Things never change in Madison.Google Mark Kimble Protest. I hiked 333 mi on AT for Pro Life last summer at 63.*+*+*+*
What's the name of the episode where Dr. Kimble's at the home of a rich family, and the daughter's in love with one of the servants, and there's a party going on at the house?
@hbailen Never thought of it that way, but in the crime genre at least, it would have to be in the Top 10, and yes, even in the upper 5 of such a list. BTW, the narration for the theme was done by William Conrad of Canon/Jake And The Fatman fame.

So did someone with one arm kill Caylee? I don't think so... Come on Bozo...We all know who killed Caylee...The public is not as stupid as you all think...

Linda Baden must have taken advantage of the FREE breakfast that Dennys gave away this week..she is busting at the seams.....She needs to go back home and work on her weight problem rather than trying to convince the public that Casey Anthony is innocent..!! She and Baez, on TV are in their element..!! I would hate to think that those two would represent me...!!!
