1966-67 Television Season 50th Anniversary: The Fugitive (starring David Janssen)

- Опубликовано: 11 окт 2024
- The 1966-67 television season featured many new series that would go on to great success, either (or both) during their initial broadcast primetime runs on the networks, and later in the syndication rerun market.
However, the 1966-67 season also marked the end of many fine television series production runs. During this winter and spring, we are looking back and paying tribute to those series that came to a close. One of the best was The Fugitive. The series starred David Janssen and ran on ABC for four seasons, beginning on September 17, 1963 and ending on August 29, 1967.
The finale of the series, broadcast very late in the season, and just prior to the start of the fall 1967-68 season, marked one of the first times a series finale was promoted as such and that final episode garnered some of the highest ratings for a series finale in the history of television. Few series, before or since, have had the impact that this series had. The series won the Emmy for Outstanding Dramatic Series in 1966.
Today is the birthdate of the late David Janssen, who was born on this day March 27, 1931. Janssen had a prolific career on television, starting in the late 1950s with the detective series Richard Diamond that ran for three seasons on CBS from 1957-1959 and on NBC from 1959-1960.
After the success of the Fugitive, Janssen would later star in the series O'Hara, U.S. Treasury, which ran for one season on CBS from September 1971 to March 10, 1972, and finally the series Harry O, which ran on ABC for two seasons from 1974 to 1976.
Janssen passed away on February 14, 1980, at a relatively very young age. He was well liked and admired in his profession, and always a fan favorite. We pay tribute to him today with great thanks and admiration. Also, his co-star on the series, Barry Morse, is well remembered here today as well. Morse was integral to the success of the series. He also enjoyed a wonderful career on television (including Space: 1999), and passed away relatively recently, on February 2, 2008 at the age of 89.

THE BEST DRAMA SERIES OF ALL TIME
It was great but noone except for people who remember it accept it as fact. The young people of todays awful world don,t even want to know about or care about it or even watch it. What are they afraid of that it might be something good ? Doesn,t that matter anymore ??? It should!!
The best ever TV series, David Janssen the most handsome actor ever, a great, emotional sensitive actor., taken from us far too early. RIP David ❤️
...The Greatest show hands down.....was 12 years old when final episode aired.....cried like a baby....
My favorite TV Show of all time. David Janssen is greatly missed. He filmed Harry-O a TV series down here in San Diego, California when I was attending college at San Diego State. Great actor and even a nicer person. My favorite actor and my mom, always made sure we never missed an episode. Roger C. (San Diego)
My favorite show of all time too....
One of the greatest television actors of all time, David Janssen and Dan Blocker two tremendous people who died way too soon Period!!!!!
best dramatic, non-sci-fi show ever. Janssen is the best male lead ever in a tv show.

great show. Besides DJ, liked Barry Morse too. Will always wonder how Kimble freed himself in train wreck, handcuffed to Gerard
Fans have been wondering about that also.
Barry Morse was a superb actor, how he got that down - the hard-nosed cop, when in real life he was a soft-spoken, rather unassuming British chap.
@@frankpaya690 I agree. I was shocked when I found out he was not from the U.S. He was able to play anything. So talented. I wish I had seen him on the stage.
Doctor Richard Kimble true story played by David Janssen
Based on the real life dr. Sam Shepherd's wife's murder.
I want the original soundtrack!!!
I was ripped- off ten years ago over that, I had no idea it wouldn't be the original soundtrack as it originally existed, when they copied those.
Frank - thank you for watching. You are correct... often times, when people purchase the DVD package of a particular series, they find that the original soundtrack used in the series was not reproduced in the DVD package, and quite often is replaced with instrumental music. This is because of the copyright issues involving the music used on the soundtrack. Often, the produces of a series would gain access to using the music (and would financially compensate the songwriters/copyright holders) by signing a single-use only agreement. Hence, the agreement would be valid for broadcast television rights on the series only, and transfering the series to any other medium other than broadcast (or perhaps cable) television would not be approved.
A terrific example of this music copyright issue is the TV series The Wonder Years. For years, the producers of the series struggled to get that series onto a DVD package. due to the amount of music used in the soundtrack.
On our Television Vanguard channel, we run into that issue often; and hence, quite a bit of really nice content (Northern Exposure has been one we've tried to remedy for years, and cannot regarding the use of 'Natural Woman'' in a clip with Janine Turner that we're very found of. The DVD version uses an entirely different music score on that scene and it just isn't the same or as impactful.
Thank you for your comment. - Television Vanguard staff
TelevisionVanguard, Can you tell me why original pilot episode is not available !!!
America's version of Les Miz for TV
AM I THE ONLY GIRL THAT WATCHED THIS.......😏
Lindy Primo not by a long shot! My mother and I were faithful viewers. Dave was our fave!
Hi Lindy, my mom and I watched every show. I was only a kid back then but even at at early age I recognized greatness. His eyes were the mirror of his soul. The show had it all, great writing, acting, locations and guest stars. Susan Oliver, Ivan Dixon, Robert Duvall, Angie Dickinson and Kurt Russell to name just a few.
My mother and I loved watching!

Does anybody know Where I get the entire series on the internet?.
Thank you for watching and your question. The Fugitive is available on DVD set. However, we're not certain about what streaming options via Internet (or networks) may be available for the series. We know that currently, there are no reruns of the series on cable TV channels (ie. MeTV, Cozi, Start, TVLand, WGN, Decades TV, Antenna TV, GetTV, FeTV, etc.) If we do find a source, we will let you (and others) know via this thread. Thank you again for watching. - Television Vanguard staff
@@TelevisionVanguard Through recording reruns on TV, I found when I bought the DVDs some years later, that they changed the soundtrack,
I feel like I was ripped off.
Definitely if I buy them again, I want to make goddamn sure the soundtrack hasn't been altered.
Why would they do that? aren't they just dubbing from the originals?
convicted of murder!!!!!!!
Yes but Innocent and thats a fact !!!!!
