A fantastic show. Janssen always played Kimble with lonely meloncholy as well as quiet desperation, never losing focus on what he had to do. He found his wife murdered, escaped death himself for it by sheer freak happenstance, and he knew he only had so much time to find the one-armed man before Gerard found him. In the end, after finally seeing and blowing away the OAM himself before he kills Kimble, Gerard says something like "I put him through hell for years for something he didn't even do".

One thing nobody mentions is that Barry Morse was from the UK and spoke with a heavy British accent. To lose the accent for American acting parts is very unique to me.

Was it in the last episode that they flashed back to reveal how the murder really happened? I remember seeing that episode, whichever one it was. The earlier story line probably had Kimble accused of making the murder look like the result of a robbery, the better to cover up his supposed guilt.

Only in the Final Judgement do you see what really happened when the one armed man is beating Helen Kimble to death, Kimble's neighbor, played by the late J.D. Cannon, a decorated war veteran, cowers in the corner frozen with fear. To protect his reputation he lets Kimble go down for his wife's murder.

Man, and I am only 25 and I tell you that this series had better scripts and more quality than a lot of the garbage seen today.

Each set was about $30 each, so to get a complete season was 60 dollars. So do that by 4 and I spent allot of money over the last 3 years to get them all.

Not as much as I have spent on Dragonball though.

It's been officially released on DVD. They are released in 1/2 seasons. It was released by CBS/Paramount.

Bought all mine off amazon.ca (since I am Canadian)

[digga2552]

This great TV series plays on local METV on their summer/ fall season!!! Since it only plays once a week, they never finish showing the four seasons!! I must get the series on DVD!!!

Stephen King calls The Fugitive, the best series EVER to appear on TV. Who can argue with him? It had everything, suspense, mystery, an on going theme, action, and most of all, the most superb acting, writing and music ever put on television. We still await something of this kind to come our way again, but sadly the classical trained actor is a thing of the past. Now you just have to look good.

[snake2006]

I got the entire series on DVD, all 4 seasons complete.

Cost me enough to do it, but it is so worth it.

@therevphil Thanks for the clarification. I knew Gerard said something along the lines of putting Kimble through hell for nothing, but I hadn't seen the ending in a while.

@TubeGunner Gerard shot the OAM with Lloyd Chandler's rifle. After the shooting, Gerard turns to Chandler and says, "You can relax now, Chandler, I just did your killing for you. You've had a good day, haven't you? Guess we both have. After all, you...WE...have kept an innocent man in hell for 4 years! But, you can end all that. You can keep that man alive. But you won't, will you?" Chandler was in Kimble's house and saw Johnson murder Helen, but never said anything.
