I do remember the original Fugitive TV series from the 1960's (and I've seen them recently on re-runs) and of course the Harrison Ford movie version which had a large special effects budget, but neither one drew me in like the new TV series. It is very engaging and well done, much more so than the original TV series and the movie (special effects notwithstanding). I had watched the first episode expecting it to be another loser like 95% of the shows on television (I only watch 3 other TV shows per week). I give most shows 'one watch' and that's it, but this one really surprised me, I was hooked and have watched every episode without fail. It seems to have much more of an air of humanity about it than the movie and not as morose as the TV series from the 60's. Although I want Kimble to be found innocent I want the series to go on for a long time, something the movie could never do (two hours and it's over). This story lends itself to being a series not a movie. I give it 5 Stars. Best new series of 2000-01 Season, followed by CSI as #2 new series.
