The Fugitive (1963)
Another opinion on the final episodes (The Judgment)
If you followed the show for 4 years, you would have thought they could have come up with a better end than this; it seemed so quick and convoluted. There were threads throughout the 4 years that they could have wove into the finale and made a good episodes (s) out of.
One that probably wouldn't have went over was based on an interview with David Janssen in TV Guide. He was asked what he thought the ending should be like and this is what he said "...after the one armed man is caught and killed, they cut away to sometime in the future where Dr. Kimble is walking on a beach alone, and he takes off his one arm and throws it in the ocean." That would be rather ironic, wouldn't it. Probably more like some of the shows today.
The New Breed (1961)
The New Breed
I also can't figure out why this show didn't make it. It was a hit when I was in 7th grade with my peer group.
Show had a great theme song.
Typical Quinn Martin production, based on the technical architecture of his other shows (The Fugitive) First time I had seen Leslie Nielsen in a straight dramatic role since Forbidden Planet and 1 appearance on the Untouchables. Who would have guessed his greatest success would have come in comedy? John Beradino also did a good job; he was another Untouchables alum, having starred in a couple of episodes.
Maybe it's time to get this one on DVD.
