The hunt for one of DVD's Most Wanted TV series is over! The Fugitive, ranked by TV Guide among the top 40 shows of all time, is just as gripping as when the falsely convicted Dr. Richard Kimble's "twisting and turning" odyssey to find his slain wife's real killer began nearly 45 years ago. David Janssen's Kimble is a TV icon (No. 22 on Bravo's list of the 100 Greatest TV Characters), the haunted, hunted man desperately trying to find the elusive one-armed man he witnessed fleeing his home on the night of the murder before the relentless Lt. Philip Gerard (Barry Morse) finds Kimble. But at the heart of these 15 inaugural black-and-white episodes is not so much the chase, but instead the compelling human dramas that convey "how it is" with Kimble, who moves from town to town, taking odd jobs, and reluctantly becoming involved in the lives of troubled strangers he meets. His presence is usually greeted with suspicion and hostility as in the episode "The Other Side of the Mountain," in which he no sooner enters a bar in a rundown mining town then the locals (led by a pre-Gomer Pyle Frank Sutton) rough him up.
The Fugitive has a palpable noir sensibility. In the first episode, an upstanding citizen (guest star Brian Keith) is actually an abusive husband, whose wife (Vera Miles) Kimble is compelled to protect. Acting at the husband's behest, two cops lean on Kimble to leave town. "Why would the average man be scared of the police?" one of them taunts Kimble. In "The Witch," Kimble nearly falls prey to mob justice after false accusations from a young girl. There are several Kimble-Gerard near misses, the most memorable occurring in the two-parter "Never Wave Goodbye," in which Kimble, tired of running, puts down roots as an apprentice sailmaker in Santa Barbara. In the storm-tossed climax, Kimble must decide whether to let Gerard drown or save his life. Essential to The Fugitive mythology is "The Girl from Little Egypt," in which Kimble, recuperating after being hit by a car, flashes back to the events preceding his wife's murder and his subsequent trial, conviction and escape from a Death Row-bound train. We also get our first, harrowing glimpse of the one-armed man (Bert Raisch). Another benchmark episode is "Home Is the Hunted," in which Kimble returns home following his father's heart attack and gets a less than warm welcome from his embittered brother (look for young Billy Mumy and Clint Howard as Kimble's nephews). The change of scenery in each episode allows for appearances by an impressive gallery of character actors, several at the beginning of their careers, including Sandy Dennis, Bruce Dern, Robert Duvall, Jack Klugman, and Jack Weston. No collector of classic TV can afford to let The Fugitive get away. --Donald Liebenson

Greatest show ever produced. Not like today's junk on tv. Like a time travel machine. Back to the early 60's and you'll be in for a one hell of a ride. CLASSIC tv and must own......Very sad to hear that David died at age 48, he was a terrific actor, and could have been our brother, or your father. The Janssen family should be very proud. These shows are a stable of classic television.

Watched them, liked them. B&W, 4 discs.
The menu is a little odd/old(?)/simple, but works. You can play each episode by moving the arrow, or 'play all'... each episode has the same intro, which takes a few moments before you see the title announced.

This show has a great reputation that is well deserved. The plots are gripping, the scripts are products of intelligent design, and the acting is some of the best the viewer will see from many very familiar faces. I just finished volume two of season one and the quality is consistent from beginning to end. There are no extras (no interviews - -no suprise, the key players have been dead for years). So what. The real meat is well done. The transfer of sound and picture to DVD is crisp and clean ... Read More

You already know that The Fugitive is the greatest dramatic TV series of all time and an absolute must-own on DVD. You also know that it stinks that the show is being released in half season sets instead of full season sets. But, did you know that the Fugitive discs come packaged in one of the most poorly designed DVD cases in history?
In an effort to save shelf space, the environment, or perhaps both, all four Fuge DVDs come to you crammed into a single plastic "keepcase" (a misnomer, ... Read More

"THE FUGITIVE" premiered in 1963 and was canceled in 1967. The series had a total of four seasons and 120 episodes. David Janssen was Dr. Richard Kimble. One night at his home, Kimble and his wife had an argument. He ran out of the house to drive around and cool off, but when he returned, he almost ran over a one-armed man not far from his house. He parked the car, and went inside. He found his living room a mess, and his murdered wife's body on the floor. Richard almost instantly suspects the suspicious ... Read More
