    Some inaccuracies in your video:
    - "If a fan missed even a single show, they'd certainly be confused while tuning in next week." This is not true. Each episode was self-contained. The only exceptions were a few 2-parters.
    - The train footage was not from the American comedy you mentioned. It was from a French film. You can even see French writing on the side of the train.
    - "Much of the show's music was also recycled." It was only a few music cues, lasting a few seconds each. And they weren't stolen from other shows. They were taken out of the studio's vast library of audio files.
    - "During its 3rd and 4th seasons, it dropped in popularity." The TV ranking changed when the weekly schedule changed. But the show was very popular throughout its entire run, and still winning awards and critical acclaim. The series was not cancelled because of poor ratings. David Janssen chose to quit the show because he was physically tired and starting to have health problems, and he was going through a divorce. He eventually died of a heart attack 13 years later.

    I remember watching this show in syndicated reruns in the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s and 1980s. I had a girlfriend who was born on August 29th, 1967. She was born on the day the final episode of The Fugitive aired on TV. Every week, a new city, new job, and unresolved plots. Have all seasons on DVD 📀.

    The Incredible Hulk tv series in the 70's followed the same basic formula of The Fugitive. David Banner was simply a fugitive that transformed from time to time into a superhuman rampaging green beast.

      I know that when my parents first watched an episode, it was only because another show that they liked..... didn’t air that night. My mom flipped to its channel and we all were fascinated after seeing him run from that train wreck. It would have been nice to have seen the first 5 or 6 episodes, but we kept watching until it ended.

    The acting was really great in this show. It was really well done by everyone who participated in it.
    But in the show itself, Kimble in several episodes saved Gerard's life. He also saved his wife's life in one episode.. And even his son's life in another episode.
    It's bad enough that Gerard is not thankful, but couldn't he reason that after Kimble did all that, that he could not possibly be a murderer.
    In the last show after Kimble was exonerated, Gerard holds out his hand and Kimble shakes it to show there are not feelings. That's not the way I would have reacted.

      The same fugitive story couldn’t be pulled off today. In the mid 60’s information moved much slower than it does today. In those day’s newspapers, three TV network news sources, radio and word of mouth! Today, it’s not plausible for a fugitive to evade the law for years and years! It was a stretch even then! The only way for a new Fugitive series to work would be for it to be once again set in the 60’s.....
