Trivia | This was the first series to feature a "final episode" in which all the plot lines were resolved, and all questions answered.The Fugitive finale ranked for decades as the highest-rated TV episode of all time. See more » |
Goofs | Helen Kimble is shown in various flashbacks throughout the series as being beaten to death by Fred Johnson using the base of a lamp. Police would have found Johnson's fingerprints on it, and not Kimble's. But following this basic forensics procedure would have made this a single-episode series instead of four years. See more » |

Quotes |
Narrator:
The Fugitive, a QM Production, starring David Janssen as Dr. Richard Kimble, an innocent victim of blind justice, falsely convicted for the murder of his wife, reprieved by fate when a train wreck freed him en route to the death house; freed him to hide in lonely desperation, to change his identity, to toil at many jobs; freed him to search for a one-armed man he saw leave the scene of the crime; freed him to run before the relentless pursuit of the police lieutenant obsessed with his capture.
