| - The Fugitive was a ground-breaking TV drama series that aired on ABC from 1963-67. Dr. Richard Kimble (David Janssen), an innocent man, is wrongly convicted for a murder he did not commit. However, while being transported to Death Row by train, there is an accident that enables him to escape. Now Kimble must continually travel throughout the country, looking to find the true murderer and clear his name. In the meantime, he takes small jobs and inevitably gets involved in the personal lives and problems of the strangers he encounters. In addition to his quest, Kimble is pursued by Lt. Philip Gerard (Barry Morse), a police detective who is determined to capture him, thus precluding the fugitive from simply settling down in an remote area with an assumed identity. The Fugitive was adapted as a feature film in 1993, and a short-lived R Emake series in 2000 which starred Tim Daly as Kimble. This premise has since become a subgenre of action and drama shows.
