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.

The Fugitive was a top show starring David Janssen as Dr. Richard Kimble. Kimble had been wrongly accused of the murder of his wife and he went on the run pursued by Lt. Gerard (played by Barry Morse). His only method of proving his innocence was to find the one-armed man who had killed his wife.
It was a very realistic drama show and David Janssen drew the audience into his predicament. Whatever pain he was feeling, the audience felt too. He was a man who viewers could empathize with. Each week he travelled from place to place meeting up with people, most of whom sympathized with his predicament. There was tension and drama throughout the entire series run. It was a very believable drama. It's a pity that nobody can produce shows like that any more.
One other thing; I believe this show inspired The Incredible Hulk live action series from the late 70's. In both cases, innocent men were on the run for crimes they didn't commit, both men were pursued (David Banner was pursued by a reporter) and both David Janssen as Kimble and the late Bill Bixby as David Banner drew the viewers into their predicament.
