Product Description:
FUGITIVE THE: SEASON 2 VOLUME 1 (DVD MOVIE)
Amazon.com:
The relentless Lt. Gerard (Barry Morse) has always insisted that capturing fugitive Richard Kimble (David Janssen) was just "unfinished business." But in "The Nemesis," an essential episode that is one of the highlights of this half-season set, it's personal. An unwitting Kimble has stolen Girard's car to make a getaway, not knowing that it contains Girard's young son, Phil, Jr. (Kurt Russell). Phil Jr. is a chip off the old block (he cleverly leaves a trail of his precious football cards to point his father in the right direction), but a selfless act by Kimble raises doubts in the boy's mind. "You and dad can't both be right," he questions. This is just one of the compelling human dramas at the heart of one of television's Most Wanted series. Now in his second year on the run after escaping from the Death Row-bound train, Kimble is "tired of looking over his shoulder… tired of running." In "Escape Into Black," he visits a small-town diner and loses his memory after the gas stove explodes. In "When the Bough Breaks," he hops a freight car that also carries a traumatized woman who has abducted a baby. Until he can find the one-armed man (Bill Raisch) he witnessed running from his home the night his wife was killed, he will have to endure "another shabby room, another lonely night." Not that Kimble doesn't have his champions. In the season-opener, "Man in a Chariot," a college law professor, argues Kimble's case before his students in a mock trial. In "World's End," the daughter (Suzanne Pleshette) of his former defense attorney contacts Kimble with potentially devastating news about the ever-elusive one-armed man and schemes to run away with him. In "Escape into Black," a compassionate hospital welfare caseworker (Betty Garrett) tries to find the one-armed man while Kimble recovers.
The episodes in this set maintain an unflagging pace, thanks to taut direction (the late Sydney Pollack directed "Man on a String," in which Kimble is a very reluctant witness in a murder case) and excellent scripts (George Eckstein, who wrote "Man in a Chariot" and "When the Bough Breaks" would co-write The Fugitive's final episode, a television benchmark). Among the great character actors who guest star in these episodes include Tuesday Weld as a manipulative and very twisted sister in "Dark Corner," Slim Pickens as a poacher in "Nemesis," and Ivan Dixon as a doctor who discovers Kimble's identity in "Escape Into Black." The Fugitive taps into the primal fear that was one of Hitchcock's favorite themes: What would you do if you were falsely accused? Janssen is unforgettable in his signature role as the man whose every instinct is to flee the scene and not get involved with the strangers whose paths he crosses. But we offer viewers the same advice the professor gives Kimble in "Chariot": "All I ask is that you stay around and see what happens." --Donald Liebenson

I bought the Fugitive Vol.1 season 2 thinking the music score had been corrected, it has not. I also was under the impression that if I got a copy that was not correct I could send it back for replacement discs. That option is also not available the cut off date was Sept. 1 2009. I just got my copy the third week of Sept. so I can not get it replaced, whats even worse is I e-mailed the address on the form they had to see if they would still replace my copy and they did not even accept the e-mail ...

I have volumes one to three of this TV classic and like so many of you I love the series for a number of reasons, one of which was the great score. I am dissapointed about the new music, but was pleased to read about the chance to get replacement discs. The only problem for those of us on this side of the Atlantic is that the offer to replace them only applies to you guys and the Canadians. Oh well, you can't win 'em all! It's a bugger as we say here but what can you do? If anyone knows a way ... Read More

Season Two of the Fugitive gets even better! Dr. Kimble continues his search for the one-armed man.
Each episode is very well written, such as World's End, in which a woman in love with Richard hires a private detective to find the one-armed man. The episode When the Bough Breaks presents a psychiatric patient in a manner quite sophisticated for its time. Nemesis is perhaps one of the best, which introduces
Kurt Russell, who, as Lt. Gerard's son, ends up hiding in a car driven ... Read More

In its time, THE FUGITIVE was one of the most innovative, most-watched television series. This DVD collection covers the first half of the second season, when new plot elements were being added - the one-armed man is a growing presence as Richard Kimble (David Janssen) continues his search - and Kimble himself - through the talent of David Janssen - grew into the role.
Kimble's adventures take him all around the United States, where - because of his medical background - he invariably winds ... Read More

I was ecstatic to learn that CBS was offering a disc replacement for this set with the music restored. I promptly sent in my proofs of purchases and received the discs back within two weeks. The offer stated that I would be sent the discs and a paper insert, but CBS also sent a new case as well.
Kudos to CBS for listening to the voice of their customers on this. When it comes right down to it, people buy these classic shows because of the memory and affinity for the show (the entire show ... Read More
