As I watched this particular episode of "The Fugitive" I realized how times have changed. In the show, Richard Kimble hides out with two middle-aged guys who live together. Nowadays, most folks watching the show would just assume that the guys (John Fiedler and John McGiver) were a gay couple. Could the writer have also intended this but folks back in the day didn't catch on to this? Who knows.
Early in the show, Kimble is in yet another city. This time he just happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and gets his picture taken by a street photographer...and eventually Girard gets a copy and comes to seek Kimble. He's assisted by the local police lieutenant (Joseph Campanella) and the two toss out a drag net that hems in Kimble. To try to escape, he goes to the two men's home-- and finds they both followed his case very closely. One insists on turning him in, the other wants to help him. What will come of this odd couple?
This is a very interesting and well made episode. Worth seeing. And, if you see it, tell me if you think I might be right about this one!
