    Storyline

    Did you know

    • 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.
    • Goofs
      Kimble throughout the series acts guilty every time police appear. While this would be the norm early in the show, his character would have developed an act so as to blend in with others, rather than standing out by looking guilty of something. His behavior is suspicious and would be noted by police officers quickly. To survive, he would have had to overcome this. However, he continues this behavior to the very last minutes of the series.
    • 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.
    • Alternate versions
      The final episode of the series aired on a different date in Canada (September 5 as opposed to Aug. 29 in the US). For Canadian prints of the final episode, the ending narration was changed to mention September 5. Some VHS releases of "The Judgement" released in the US retain the Canadian narration.
