The Fugitive is a crime drama that aired on ABC.
David Janssen was Dr. Richard Kimble, an innocent man from the fictional town of Stafford, Indiana, who is falsely convicted for his wife's murder and sentenced to death. While headed to death row, he escapes custody following a train wreck and begins a cross-country search for a one-armed man (later revealed as Fred Johnson; played by Bill Raisch) he correctly believes to be the real killer. Like Kimble, Johnson uses other aliases while on the run.
Each week Kimble (with his grey hair died black) would turn up in a new identity and new job ("to toil at many jobs" as the narrator put it). He usually ended up helping people, even those who wanted to turn him in, often using his skills as a doctor (of medicine) to do so. Lieutenant Philip Gerard (played by Barry Morse) was the relentless force of law never more than one or two steps behind Kimble, often arriving in the front door as Kimble stepped out of the back. Jacqueline Scott played Donna Kimble Taft, Kimble's sister in a few episodes, and William Conrad was the narrator for the show. Seasons 1-3 were black and white, season 4 in color.
