The Fugitive Recaptured: The 30th Anniversary Companion to a Television Classic by Ed Robertson PDF

THE FUGITIVE - RECAPTURED by ED ROBERTSON is an outstanding book with solid research and excellent writing.

THE FUGITIVE, created by ROY HUGGINS, Produced by QUINN MARTIN, starring DAVID JANSSEN as "Dr. Richard Kimble" and BARRY MORSE as Lt. Philip Gerard had been turned down by CBS and NBC as "not a good fit" for Television. Against the advice of senior executives, LEONARD GOLDENSON, CEO of the troubled ABC Television Corp. took a chance.

THE FUGITIVE was an instant hit in Prime Time television, airing from September of 1963 to the record-setting, two hours climax, "THE JUDGEMENT", airing on August 29, 1967.

This work brings to life the entire four years that the series ran on network television, and gives the reader the feeling that he was actually "on location" with the cast and crew as they produced this first-rate series. Each episode is fully documented with full credits for the director and all principal actors in the series. The episode synopsis gives the reader a feeling of being on the run with the Fugitive. The opening and closing narration for each episode certainly sets the tone for each night’s program.
