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 guess they closed down the site. If you are a fan of the original show you would probably not be pleased with this purchase.

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 for an aging British fan of the series can get these discs, spare me a thought. Bless you and here's to David Janssen!

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 by Dr. Kimble.
Part two of the August 1967 finale still holds one TV record that has never been broken. The final episode in 1967 was watched by a phenomenal 72 percent of American homes with television sets at that time! While both the final episode of MASH in 1983 and the 1980 "Who Shot J.R." episode of Dallas had more viewers in sheer numbers, the final hour of the Fugitive retains the record for the highest percentage of homes with television sets to watch a TV finale.
CBS sent the replacement series with a quick turn-around time, and the wait was worthwhile! Let us hope they release all 4 seasons, preferably with the original music!

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 up helping people, who in turn wind up helping him. There are plenty of split-second escapes - "Nemesis" comes to mind - and plenty of action.
This collection is a superb addition to anyone's shelf of "classic"
early television programming.

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 including characters AND music).
Now, can we quicken up the release schedule and get the final two seasons out within the next year??? I am most anxious to see season 4 in restored color. All the episodes that I have ever seen on TV from season 4 hav had washed out color.
Keep on running.
