Fugitive" The series finale that invented the modern-day series
finale, this 1967 wrap-up to the classic series set a ratings record that lasted
decades, despite the objections of a studio head who thought a conclusion might
kill syndication opportunities. After four years ... more of running, Dr. Richard Kimble
(David Janssen) finally caught up to the one-armed man,
allowing audiences the rare opportunity to despise a handicapped person. Several
generations later, Harrison Ford would renew America's hatred of the crippled,
while everything from "NYPD
Blue" to "Sex and the
City" would similarly continue their love affair with the concept of the
"big goodbye" series finale. Close | |
