Agree with everyone. The BEST TV drama series of all time. And yes, the wonderful music of Pete Rugolo added to the quality of the show. The series also showcased the finest collection of character actors ever assembled. These individuals were hard-working and applied their craft in total support of David Janssen and the story lines. Such quality is lacking in many of today's shows, relying on coarse language and glib characters. Thank you for this video.
I just finished the 120 episodes. Took 1.5 years to get through all the episodes. I’m still working full-time and busy with family and general life. I remembered the series as a kid and one day planned to watch them all (and did).
Rose PerrinsCaptivating video.The best show ever on tv.David Janssen was brilliant,so handsome and emotional.He should have had an award for best actor.The stories were great.I watched it in the60,s and again during the pandemic( covid).I am now watching it for the 6 th time.I will never tire of watching it.
I was a teenager when THE FUGITIVE was in its original run and was such a devoted fan that as I went about my personal activities, for fun I often pretended I was Kimble. In my mind I would imagine Pete Rugalo's music and William Conrad's narration. It's a wonder I wasn't detained by the police for suspicious behavior. Once, while shopping in a store I got spooked when I thought I saw Lt. Gerard looking through the window in a door to the backroom. It turned out to be the reflection of Barry Morse's picture on the cover of a TV GUIDE issue displayed on a nearby magazine rack. That cured me of those fantasies. LOL!
i was in acting class at estelle harman's hollywood workshop with diane baker...( estelle taught david janssen at the universal talent school & also ucla, where i met her & she invited me to join her class of future stars..)..1957 & 58...wonderful people....jack english..actor/singer, & location mgr on coppola films(godfather, part 2, apocalypse now, etc).....weho....2/22/2021
Hauntingly poignant & very riveting. It tells us much about ourselves; the essential human condition for the man on the run & those many he encountered. It was Hollywood at its vintage apex forever endowed a masterpiece beyond measure; a sensitive immaculate dramatization of the human spirit & justice for truth & innocence, indelible for all who lived this story with our beloved David & all who involved & engaged this wonderful element of humanity......
One weeknight, each week as a young child my family and I were glued to our B&W TV to watch The Fugitive. After the show I'd go to bed, which gave me about another hour or so more to fantasize about the show before drifting off asleep. I think my mom (RIP) had a big crush on Dr. Richard Kimble, as I'm certain many housewives did. And my siblings and I rooted for him every week as if he were our dad. His character had that odd mixture, bridging the gap between masculinity & vulnerability. Kimble was always on the run, always in need of help, but never too desperate that he couldn't return the favor before moving on to the next town, like an iconic Western hero. If anybody has asked my friends and I what we wanted to be when we grew up, I wouldn't have said Batman, Superman, or Captain Kirk. I'd have said Dr. Richard Kimble fm The Fugitive.
Wonderfully moving tribute…one of the greatest shows of all time…would just like to give Bill Raisch a mention also…he did so much to lift the kudos of the show with that one-arm!!
"Thank you" Angela Couling on behalf of so many fans worldwide for producing this wonderful masterpiece tribute celebrating the late great David Janssen as The Fugitive.
I'm 65...saw this great show then & watch it now.Have all of 'em on DVD.This & Columbo,I think,are the best shows ever,& this is the best retrospective I've ever seen on it.Great job!
What's amazing is how effectve those musical compositions performed mostly by relatively small orchestras were in heightening the drama of vintage series like THE FUGITIVE.
Loved The Fugitive!! Finally got to see it on A&E back in the early 1990's. A young Kurt Russell actually played Lt. Girard's son Philip Jr. in the Episode "Nemesis" in 1964, and as a boy named Eddie in "In a Plain Paper Wrapper" from 1966.
Which bloke, including myself, did not wish to be as good looking as David... I envied him for his good looks... One of the best looking men in the film industry
This show greatly affected my entire life. This is no execrations I wanted some like him for a father I’ve seen every episode , I don’t know how many times, yet I still get affected each time I watch it. I think david was a brilliant actor. The chemistry , unbelievable I compare it to x files in many ways milder looking for the truth , Scully and her struggles to believe. They show the same chemistry , and it’s magic. To all involved I thank you sooo much. Michael ares.
Absolute pure class in every aspect. David Janssen's acting acumen allowed him to personify the Kimble character and never failed to command the viewers attention from beginning to end. The old saying "they don't make 'em like they used to" sure fits this stand-out television drama. It was a favorite of mine as a kid during the first run of the show and I have always searched for re-runs in the years following. Technology made a dream come true in that I now proudly own the entire series on DVD, but still seek out the cable airings. It simply ranks as one of the finest tv dramas in every respect. Pete Rugolo's score is pure gold and those violin sweeps heighten my senses every time I hear the theme and music bed score. Quinn Martin already had a great track record going into "The Fugitive", but I think this series set a high mark for all his shows to follow.
I watched the show from 11- 14 yrs old and I was in love with Dr. Richard Kimball. He was the most gorgeous man I'd ever laid eyes on. Brilliant actor!! He was taken too early in his life. ☮️💜 RIH David Janssen
Just watched "Never Wave Goodbye, Part II", an example of great writing & great acting support by then talented young up and comers like Robert Duvall, & actress Susan Oliver, whose depth & intelligence went far beyond acting, another who left us all too soon....
This has to be the best series of all time, I was sad when it went to color, but the story line was always so interesting, because you alway wondered how he would get away again.
I agree... the one show that should have stayed black and white - color changed the whole mood - but, it was new technology, & ABC was already behind the other 2 networks as far as color programming
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that no one could have played The Fugitive better than the late ,great David Janssen ! He looked and talked like a Doctor and his portrayal as Dr Richard Kimble was exquisite in every department ... a great , great actor .
Wonderful tribute to David Janssen and “The Fugitive.” Great compilation of photos and Rugolo soundtrack. I especially liked the quotes at the end from those who knew and worked with David. He was & still is special. -DT/Joyce 😉
@@SaifUrRahman-qo5zo Don't know...some have passed on or moved to other things. I saw some Fugitive FB pages years ago, but received little/no response from them. At the conventions we got to meet the then still living, who were part of the show.
I’ve rediscovered, The Fugitive, as I was only 13 when it first aired, so David Janssen as Dr Kimble was just a guy with a story that was exciting to watch, a serial to follow, and now I’m much older, I see the great actor on the re-runs as an attractive man that he is as Dr Kimble, his expressions, his smiles, his gentleness, his sensibility and his versatility, he proved in many ways he was innocent and that is superb acting and portrayal of this iconic serialised drama that kept its appeal for 3 yrs. Love this video and shows these points that I already came to a conclusion about the man and the TV series....well done 👍 RIP David you died much too young at 48 😥
@@gracecheri997 You can watch every Fugitive episode online or stream for free at the below link. Just scroll to the episode you want. archive.org/details/The_Fugitive_Series
I remember my sister and I trying to sneak and watch this as it was usually after our bedtime. My mother always you is to go back to bed over she saw us ( my Dad was in Vietnam at the time) but for the last episode she let us both come out and watch it:) Have always loved the music, storylines, and David Jansen acting. Too bad and sad that he and other actors like Yul Brynner died from smoking ( cancer and heart attacks)
pink- iff tobacco is such a demon why do evil governments allow it and refuse to ban it. ahh read a anti smokeing book by a ex smoker and its contents rattled me how evil humans can be. Also the number one item been stolen from small shops in new zealand is ciggerattes/ tobbacco
My thanks to Flamingos for sharing this. I am in Pakistan and this program was shown here on TV in late sixties or early seventies. I saw few episodes at that time and everything went with the wind. Recently, I watched some episodes on CZcams and then I kept on watching all available episodes on CZcams. It was shocking to know after four decades that Richard Kimble died in 1980. I have not seen such innocent face hero in my life so far. It was an excellent production. Shouldn't we create a David Janssen's lovers club ?
Nice retrospective on the best television drama ever produced. Nobody could have played the role better than David Janssen. It was if he was born to play this haunted character and he played it to perfection making it perfectly believable. But besides David, what really made the series exceptional in my opinion was the wonderful scripts. Some shows were better than others, but all were interesting thanks to David's acting and screen charisma.There is nothing comparable to it today.
I’ve often wondered about that too. When you have close-ups of cars the license plates are from the state Kimble is supposed to be in. But if you look very closely, in some scenes the surrounding cars have those old black and gold California plates. It would have been really expensive to be filming in different states but they did a really good job of camouflaging.
It was filmed in southern California of course and Barry Morse said that when its stories were set in other states vehicles often had to be parked to hide palm trees in the background.
One of my favourite shows growing up David was magnificent great friends with Richard Harris he had a buetifull gravely voice passed away to young R I P
Wow - this was wonderful! I grew up in the 60's and 70's and loved this program. A relatively simple concept, yet the lead role played by a man who exhibited complexity. I thought hecwas the coolest guy ever! I remember watching the final two episodes when they were broadcast in August of 1967. I lived in the Central Time Zone and we saw the episodes before the west coast. My mom called our relatives in California and said "we know who did it!" When watching reruns, it was always great when either Gerard or the one armed man was in the episode. And I know there was at least one, maybe two or three episodes that had both Gerard and Johnson in them. Yeah!
This was very well researched and put together! Thank u so much for this. David and the rest of the actors were all top notch. U don't see much of that today. David did not realize how much this show meant to people. It is the best show ever! So well done in every way! RIP David, Barry, and Jacqueline.
I was watching TV in Japan as well.The main character, supporting characters, selection of people, scenario, everything is perfect. It is an eternal masterpiece.
Thanks to David Jensen I met and fell in love with Don H. Burno who could have been his twin. The night we met.. I told him he looked just like David Jensen & he replied … “David Jensen looks like me!” 🥰❤️🎶 10/17/2021
Excellent. I admire David Janssen, the series "The Fugitive" and naturally "Harry O". I was very excited about this video. In fact, the scene with Gerard in the cell, I remember that it was the one that made me understand and feel the drama of the series. Congratulations and thanks for remembering this show and David
Angela, this is absolutely fantastic!! I enjoyed every minute! I fell in love with his portrayal of Doctor Kimble which was always superb - even on an off day! The producers, directors and writers were magnificent in maintaining the consistency of his character through some seriously creative storytelling. I always think David was absolutely stunning in Never Wave Goodbye and Storm Centre...so sad he went so soon :-(
This is the ultimate compilation of this unforgettable series and the great David Janssen! I will forever save this video and revisit on occasion! Thank you!
Like Johnathan Frid in Dark Shadows, David Janson had the same type of secret hurting charm type of personality in the The Fugitive. Acting at its very best!
Very well done tribute I am watching reruns on British tv and now addicted to it Love David and great supporting cast every episode a gem Wish there had been more although I know it was hard on david but a great series
I always enjoyed watching David Janssen in all the TV Series fom Richard Diamond that he made plus his Movie - Ring Of Fire. Here in The UK we saw a number of other TV Movies and Films that David also made and appeared in, but my favourite TV Series for watching David Janssen in was - O'Hara US Treasury, which was a better suited TV Series for David than was his Harry O TV Series and O'Hara should have run for more than just only one single season. I would love to see the O'Hara TV Series again.
It makes me feel so happy when I read tributes like this to know I was not the only person who absolutely fell in love with this show. August 29th will always be...THE DAY THE RUNNING STOPPED !!
back in the 6o's tv shows were more exciting. now there are only sit-com's. I haven't watch TV for over 10 yrs, so I am guessing. Love, the Saint, Mission Impossible, and RT.66 were my favorites
I was very surprised to learn from Barry Morse's comments on a VHS tape that the show was filmed almost exclusively near L.A. There was a 2-part episode with Susan Oliver that was filmed in Santa Barbara but that was an exception. I can't help noticing that you never see storefronts or billboards that would give away the time period (such as you do in "Route 66") which is one reason why the show holds up so well. Do you think that was intentional or an accident?
I feel that two best actresses in the series were Jacqueline Scott and Janice Rule (2nd of her two appearances). I am not sure you listed her. Later in life, she got her Ph.D. And became a psychologist.
William Conrad did a wonderful job of narration and I believe that it was Hank Simms who announced all the guest stars and episode titles, he also did a great job
I loved The Fugitive as a boy! Dr Kimble had a real dignity. I always wondered what happened to him after his exoneration. Were he and Jean happy? Did they have any kids? Did Kimble fade into obscurity? These questions intrigued me so much that I wrote a piece of fan fiction about Dr Kimble in the form of an interview with him on his 90th birthday. If you are interested you can check it out on my website. www.kurtkeefner.com/post/interview-with-anti-death-penalty-activist-richard-d-kimble-md
David Janssen's facial acting alone made his character & the show believable. Great Actor and show!
David's face says so much without saying a word I don't know of any other actor before or since can say that an absolute genius love him so much

Loved watching the fugitive. I was only 6 when I first saw this great TV series.
Fantastic! R.I.P. David.
he perhaps still on the run as a spirit/ghost. Did not think a Doctor could end up in so much drama.
that series had all the right people.... absolute perfection!

No doubt about that.

Well said
That was Pete Rugolo, of Stan Kenton fame.
Tearfully wonderful & moving music.

"The Fugitive," one of the best series of all time!

Black & white like Raymond Burr and Perry Mason.
I agree... the one show that should have stayed black and white - color changed the whole mood - but, it was new technology, & ABC was already behind the other 2 networks as far as color programming
I adjusted the tv and watched the late episodes without colour, gave it a much better mood and picture, close to the first seasons in b&w.
David Janssen was one of my favorite actors! I never missed the an episode. And David was Great in the Series Harry O!
Was dumped for Charlie's Angels

This is the ultimate compilation of this unforgettable series and the great David Janssen! I will forever save this video and revisit on occasion! Thank you!
A wonderful tribute to David and the finest show on television, ever. Thank you.
I'd follow the frog anytime.
i always liked the episodes where the scene plays out and gerard is standing 10 feet away from kimble but doesn't realize it.
Like Johnathan Frid in Dark Shadows, David Janson had the same type of secret hurting charm type of personality in the The Fugitive. Acting at its very best!
Very well done tribute
I am watching reruns on British tv and now addicted to it
Love David and great supporting cast every episode a gem
Wish there had been more although I know it was hard on david but a great series
Well done!
This presentation was very well done and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I always enjoyed watching David Janssen in all the TV Series fom Richard Diamond that he made plus his Movie - Ring Of Fire.
Here in The UK we saw a number of other TV Movies and Films that David also made and appeared in, but my favourite TV Series for watching David Janssen in was - O'Hara US Treasury, which was a better suited TV Series for David than was his Harry O TV Series and O'Hara should have run for more than just only one single season.
I would love to see the O'Hara TV Series again.
It makes me feel so happy when I read tributes like this to know I was not the only person who absolutely fell in love with this show. August 29th will always be...THE DAY THE RUNNING STOPPED !!
back in the 6o's tv shows were more exciting. now there are only sit-com's. I haven't watch TV for over 10 yrs, so I am guessing. Love, the Saint, Mission Impossible, and RT.66 were my favorites
U got that right 💯👌 The garbage on TV now amazes me! Never thought it would b like that.
I don't know what it is but that music makes me feel sad and happy at the same time it sounds crazy but it is true.
Simply stated, it was the best.
I always liked Davids work .. What more can I say?
I was very surprised to learn from Barry Morse's comments on a VHS tape that the show was filmed almost exclusively near L.A. There was a 2-part episode with Susan Oliver that was filmed in Santa Barbara but that was an exception. I can't help noticing that you never see storefronts or billboards that would give away the time period (such as you do in "Route 66") which is one reason why the show holds up so well. Do you think that was intentional or an accident?
I feel that two best actresses in the series were Jacqueline Scott and Janice Rule (2nd of her two appearances). I am not sure you listed her. Later in life, she got her Ph.D. And became a psychologist.
Yes, I agree those two actresses were wonderful!!
The fact that it had an ending made it more powerful.
Please, please upload all episodes of this series.
Thanks a lot
William Conrad did a wonderful job of narration and I believe that it was Hank Simms who announced all the guest stars and episode titles, he also did a great job
GREATEST TV DRAMA EVER BAR NONE
I have the set and am binge watching now. I would love to know of all the female actresses, how many he knew up close and personal, hahahaha.
I loved The Fugitive as a boy! Dr Kimble had a real dignity. I always wondered what happened to him after his exoneration. Were he and Jean happy? Did they have any kids? Did Kimble fade into obscurity? These questions intrigued me so much that I wrote a piece of fan fiction about Dr Kimble in the form of an interview with him on his 90th birthday.
