O Fugitivo

Along with C.S.I., this is the best new show of the season and the only one worthy of an audience. Daly is great, and while I'm not wild about the casting of Gerard, I'll give it time. Although I was slightly disappointed that the series is more an adaptation of the original and not the film (contrary to "other" reviews), it looks like it'll still work. Actually, it's a combination of both, with the technology of the 90s being worked in as well. The dialogue between the two leads was great, and the opening sequence with flashbacks intercutting with Kimble's escape is the best sequence of a television series I have ever seen (and I've seen a lot).

Great acting, great writing, great action and suspense, and great music all ad up for a great series that is the best of the new shows this Fall. Don't miss it!

This TV series is not really very refreshing to me, but I found it enjoyable at least. The whole thing is well done and the acting is great, and these are the reasons I saw it from the first episode to the last. However, I am a bit disappointed by the last episode. Couldn't the producers make the fate of the fugitive clearer? I mean, all of us are in the mist and have exactly no idea what has happened to Kimble and that one-armed man!?

I'm writing this on behalf of all the "Fugitive" TV show fans who were as disappointed as I was at the abrupt ending to the 2000/2001 show. Some think it was suppose to be seen as a cliff hanger, while others think the story was concluded although in an extremely disheartening way. It's not too late to continue the saga even if it just means a single episode or TV movie. Like so many others I am completely baffled at the media's obsession with ridiculous reality shows, while intelligent programs just keep getting pulled off the air. "The Fugitive" was a well-acted, action-packed, FUN show that had a larger audience than the network seems to recognize. So how 'bout it guys? Is there any chance for a REAL conclusion to this exciting show? Even Gilligan's Island had 3 made for TV movies long after the show ended. THANKS so much and I hope that others who read this will also put in their two cents worth. Regards..............

I am a fan of the David Jansen Fugitive and I don't like remakes. In other words, why make it again when it is already made? This series is so good with the great acting by the 2 stars and the location filming like the old Rt#66 show that I really enjoyed it. One thing I miss is the naration at the end by the late Bill Conrad. I think that someone like that, with a rich voice, would help the end of each show. Otherwise I hope it is a success.

I too was very skeptical when a series that had an ending was brought back. It seemed unwise at the time, but good acting and interesting new twists on an old theme made it work. It is very unfortunate that CBS had no faith or patience with it. It might have run at least as long as the original had it been given a chance.

Many of us do remember it. In fact, there is a Yahoo group that I own and moderate dealing with both series that has been around for years and recently has gotten renewed interest. We reviewed all of the original stories from the first series and would be interested in having people review the 2000 version. We also have two members who extended the series by writing fan fiction...and extending the story.
