Trivia:
In the final 2 "Judgment" episodes as well as a few other episodes in the last year, music cues that were composed by Dominic Frontiere for The Outer Limits, "12 O'Clock High (1962)', and 'Branded (1964)'were added to the tracking of those episodes though he was not credited for that in the End Credits. more
Quotes:
Dr. Kimble: You think being a fugitive has done something to my mind, you're forgetting my story is exactly the same as it was the night of the murder.
Lt. Gerard: And it was, and is, a lie.
Dr. Kimble: Are you so God-like, because you couldn't find a one-armed man, you don't believe he exists?
Lt. Gerard: I've done everything humanly possible to find him!
Dr. Kimble: I think you have. I wonder why.
Lt. Gerard: It's my job.
Dr. Kimble: It's also a curse, isn't it, Gerard? I think you have nightmares, too. Your nightmare is, after I'm dead you'll find him.

Among shows with an ultimate goal,this is indeed the best., 3 December 2002
Author: SmileyVision from United States

I have an undying passion for shows that set their sights on an ultimate goal.What placed this series at the top of the list of such shows is the idea of clearing the name of a man wrongly convicted of murdering his wife.Knowing that he was innocent,made you want to jump into your set and help him out,for only he,and the man he sought,the infamous one armed man,knew dead certain of his innocence.Being too young for the series' original run,I became a fan through the old reruns back in the 1980's. The series was indeed thrilling,though the acting was not always good. It is perhaps for the best that I was not around when the show ran originally,because I probably could not have gone through the torture of waiting 4 years for this man to be set free.Kudos to David Janssen and Barry Morse for giving us such thrills.If you ever have the chance to pick up on the reruns of this great story,do it! You won't be let down.Classic TV!
