I remember the day almost like it was yesterday--Tuesday, August 29,1967--it was the night before classes started my sophomore year in college. The large TV lobby in the dorm was packed to the gills--standing room only by the time I got there. No matter--I was willing to stand for the best TV show I had seen so far in my life.
We finally got to see what actually happened the night Helen Kimble was killed. And the one-armed man finally getting his due.
And it was a memorable experience. I remember narrator William Conrad's final words after the upbeat happy ending-- "August 29th, 1967--the day....the running.... STOPPED ! And the whole room applauded. I was undyingly loyal to this series.after I went away to college, it was the only weekly show I watched without fail. The highest rated Fugitive episode and in 1967, one of the highest rated TV shows of all time.
