    even thou this excellent and thrilling show lasted only one season (each episode cost an average of $2 million to make) it proves that remakes can prove better than the originals.Tim Daly and the suspenseful storylines make this one of the best shows around. Most people would recognize him as the best and only good voice of Superman in the WB cartoons. Gerard is great too as well as the one armed man and the rest of the cast.Pity that the finale doesnt give us the final answer. As it is one of the best finales you will ever see! Good luck for everything else you do in the future Tim Daly.

    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.

    Along with C.S.I., this is the best new show of the season and the only one worthy of an audience. Daly is great, and while I'm not wild about the casting of Gerard, I'll give it time. Although I was slightly disappointed that the series is more an adaptation of the original and not the film (contrary to "other" reviews), it looks like it'll still work. Actually, it's a combination of both, with the technology of the 90s being worked in as well. The dialogue between the two leads was great, and the opening sequence with flashbacks intercutting with Kimble's escape is the best sequence of a television series I have ever seen (and I've seen a lot).Great acting, great writing, great action and suspense, and great music all ad up for a great series that is the best of the new shows this Fall. Don't miss it!

    Daly is wonderful you might remember him as the voice of superman. Anyway when you start with a great story remakes can be quite good. The marshall is excellent. But Daly is marvelous playing Kimble with Pathos. He has a haunted look in his eyes and you cant help rooting for him. Lets hope this one lasts.
