The Fugitive has a palpable noir sensibility. In the first episode, an upstanding citizen (guest star Brian Keith) is actually an abusive husband, whose wife (Vera Miles) Kimble is compelled to protect. Acting at the husband's behest, two cops lean on Kimble to leave town. "Why would the average man be scared of the police?" one of them taunts Kimble. In "The Witch," Kimble nearly falls prey to mob justice after false accusations from a young girl. There are several Kimble-Gerard near misses, the most memorable occurring in the two-parter "Never Wave Goodbye," in which Kimble, tired of running, puts down roots as an apprentice sailmaker in Santa Barbara. In the storm-tossed climax, Kimble must decide whether to let Gerard drown or save his life. Essential to The Fugitive mythology is "The Girl from Little Egypt," in which Kimble, recuperating after being hit by a car, flashes back to the events preceding his wife's murder and his subsequent trial, conviction and escape from a Death Row-bound train. We also get our first, harrowing glimpse of the one-armed man (Bert Raisch). Another benchmark episode is "Home Is the Hunted," in which Kimble returns home following his father's heart attack and gets a less than warm welcome from his embittered brother (look for young Billy Mumy and Clint Howard as Kimble's nephews). The change of scenery in each episode allows for appearances by an impressive gallery of character actors, several at the beginning of their careers, including Sandy Dennis, Bruce Dern, Robert Duvall, Jack Klugman, and Jack Weston. No collector of classic TV can afford to let The Fugitive get away. --Donald Liebenson

Customer Reviews of The Fugitive - Season One, Vol. 1
Still superb In my teens, this was one of my most favourite and iconic shows of all time. I was glued to the box every week - with the added thrill of seeing if Lt. Gerard would be appearing that week. <

>I've waited a long time for these DVDs as my collection of VHS tapes was rather limited. Re-visiting the episodes brings back the thrills of all those years ago. It remains a superb series. I love the atmospheric American small town scenes. I love David Janssen's laid back portrayal; like all the best characters, it seems effortless. I love the music - perfectly matched to the drama. I loved every minute of these discs and can't wait for the rest of the series. Absolutely priceless. Please keep the releases regular, CBS!
The Fugitive TV Series Volume 1
Interesting and wholesome entertainment. They don't make shows like this any more on network TV. Thank God for DVD's. I'm already planning on buying the second volume when it is available.
The best TV show of the 60's
The Fugitive was consistently well acted, with thoughtful scripts and a reminder that we shouldn't put too much trust in government authorities or the police. Lt. Gerard was an automaton who never questioned authority, who believed the government & courts were always right. This is a good example of what's wrong in today's America. The lessons of the show are timeless.
