Over the years I don't remember the series getting many runs in syndication (or maybe if it did I was still too young to have an interest in it) and was only aware of it and it's infamous ending episode. I did see the film and enjoyed it a lot, didn't bother with the Tim Daly remake but still had never seen an episode of the Janssen original. (hell, I've even seen Bixby's "The Incredible Hulk" loosely based on "The Fugitive's premise, tons of times too) Finally, about 7 months ago my satellite TV added METV to it's lineup and I saw they ran the series every Sunday at 11:00, so I was able to watch the show (starting with the first episode, lucky me). It's even better then I could imagine! <br /><br />Unfortunately….. METV has changed it's lineup and have placed it on the shelf. Just as I was getting into the second season.Richard J.

It was the highest-rated television event for many years.

We were camping as a family, and, thus, she was going to have to miss it. Instead, she discovered that a lady had taken a portable TV and plugged it in at the ladies' restroom, for the sole purpose of catching that episode. My mom, and a host of others gals, watched from there.<br /><br />Patti https://www.blogger.com/profile/12931836399684850729noreply@blogger.com
