I love that this thread about the tGOAT TV show keeps getting bumped

I also love that almost all the replies are about ratings and TV channels available in 1967 instead of the damn show

This thread got me curious to see how many stations Houston had in 1967. It was 5.
KPRC (NBC)
KHOU (CBS)
KTRK (ABC)
KUHT (University of Houston/PBS)
KHTV (Channel 39, independent UHF)

All are still in business today; channel 39 is the only one that's changed network affiliations. Carries the CW today.

such a great show. Back in the early 90s, my dad (a teacher) and I would watch it every day on TV Land or something. Every night at like 5:35 they would air an episode and then the same episode would come on again the next morning at 11:35. I ended up watching all of the episodes many many times.

Back when The Fugitive movie came out, I think TV Land aired a special that was basically the first episode and the last episode (both parts) combined into one long "movie".

Great memories.

I don't think I've ever been as pumped for a new show as I was when a modern version of the show started up with Mykelti Williamson as Gerard and Tim Daly as Kimble. I think Stephen Lang was the one armed man. It only lasted one season and ended on a tremendous cliffhanger that irritates me to this day.
