re: On this day in 1967, 78 million people tuned in to watch the finale of The Fugitive

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.
