Originally aired August 1967

We were at a Minnesota Twins baseball game, when they flashed the following message on the screen: “They caught the one armed man on the TV series, ‘The Fugitive’” The sold out crowd broke out in a sustained thunderous applause! It was an unforgettable experience!

I was 15 years old when the final episode of the Fugitive aired in 1967. The Fugitive was my favorite television series and I never missed an episode. This was the scene, the final few minutes of the whole series that was on when the picture tube on our television set went out. I ran to a neighbors house to see how it ended but got there too late. It was on television again, maybe 25 or 30 years ago, but I had a business conference I had to be at and I didn't get to watch it. Today, I am 65 years old. It took 50 years for me to see how this episode ended. Scratch one item off the bucket list. Thanks.

I live in Los Angeles, and when the final episode aired, the city shut down. My parents went to a very popular restaurant in Beverly Hills the next night, and waiting for their table, took a seat at the bar. The bartender told them the restaurant was pretty much empty the night before, and Beverly Hills was as quiet as Sunday night at 3 in the morning. All because EVERYONE stayed home to watch this final great episode!

This and The Invaders...best tv shows ever made. Sadly I was born too late but watching these. These were made when Television was real Television.
Unfortunately today we'll never get anything like this anymore

David Janssen, the master of understated acting. It was all in his eyes!

I was 12 years old in 1967, that was a sad day, when that series "the fugitive " ended, I wanted it to go on forever, what a memorable performance by David Janssen. Great 👍 memories

Oddly enough, the Fugitive was my favorite TV show, and this concluding episode was on my 16th birthday. I have never forgotten it, and have watched it many many times since.

Yes indeed one of the greatest TV series of it's time 👍

One of the best series I've ever had the pleasure of watching.

Gerard shakes Kimble's hand outside the courtroom in the best closing scene to a TV drama ever, which I remember watching at the time all those years ago...

I was nine when this show aired. It seemed like the entire world turned in. This show had it all--a compelling story, great acting, outstanding B & W cinematography and music. Did you notice the music at the top of the tower briefly sounded like Vertigo? Each show was like a one-hour movie. Best drama show of that time, no question.

I missed the last episode after watching the entire series. Finally got to see it today!

Our family took a drive to that amusement park in 1968, just to see the remnants. That tall ride with the double cars was still there. Very surreal and sad to see a closed amusement park. It was all torn down very soon afterwards.
