What did you watch this week in classic TV on DVD(or Blu)?

Then it was on to the finale, the first part of which is a real nail-biter, really cranking up the suspense, despite the fact that I already knew how the whole thing ends. The one-armed man is arrested by the Los Angeles police and Kimble has no choice but to go there to try and clear his name...fully knowing that Gerard and a citywide manhunt awaits. Diane Baker plays a court stenographer who comes to Kimble's aid and falls in love with him. The second part slows down quite a bit, but must have been a real humdinger for those fans watching the ending live at the time, as we finally find out what really went down on that fateful night when Richard Kimble's wife was murdered. Jacqueline Scott and Richard Anderson return as Kimble's loyal sister and brother-in-law, and J.D. Cannon appears as a key witness.

The Fugitive: One of the finest dramas of all time
The Fugitive
Viewers who tuned in to ABC at 10 PM on Sept. 17, 1963, a Tuesday, to try out the brand-new show entitled
The Fugitive could have no idea that the program they were about to watch would soon develop into one of the true glories of 1960s television. Today, of course,
The Fugitive needs no introduction, and you hardly need me to tell you of what a quality and timeless entertainment it remains to this day. Its story line has since become something of a classic, and you would need to have been living in a cave for the past half century not to be familiar with it. The program has since been transformed into a megahit 1993 film starring Harrison Ford, been reimagined into several more television programs, and been the subject of at least a half a dozen books, several conventions, and a lively Facebook fan page. Even those who have never seen or read any of the above probably know, merely by cultural osmosis, that the original TV program, over the course of 120 episodes evenly divided among four seasons, dealt with the story of Stafford, Indiana pediatrician Dr. Richard Kimble (played with a superabundance of charisma by David Janssen), who had left his house one evening after arguing with his wife Helen about the possibility of adoption (Mrs. Kimble had been adamantly against it), and had returned to find a one-armed man (Bill Raisch) fleeing from his home, and his wife beaten to death. Kimble had been arrested and, in a flagrant instance of miscarriage of justice, convicted of the crime on circumstantial evidence, and sentenced to death. But on the way to the death house, accompanied by police lieutenant Philip Gerard (the remarkably intense Barry Morse), the train that the men had been riding in had jumped its track and crashed, allowing Kimble to escape and setting in motion the plot line that would continue for the next four years. In a remarkably clever setup, Kimble would prosecute his search for the one-armed man (OAM) while Gerard would relentlessly prosecute his search for Kimble. (Fortunately for both men, as they conduct their seemingly impossible missions, the population of the U.S. was “only” around 190 million in the mid-‘60s, as opposed to the 330 million of today!)
