I was never much of a fan of the original 1960s series, yet I was very skeptical about this new version since I couldn't see the point in topping or trying to top the original. But, I gave it a try and after four episodes or so, I am hooked; I now look forward to Friday nights for the best hour on television in years. Even though my generation knows the outcome of Dr. Kimble, the writing is so good that I find myself totally involved. I also like Tim Daly's depths of emotion over David Janssen's stone faced expressions. I think Daly is another reason that gives the show it's appeal. The new "Fugitive" also makes CBS' previous action adventure "Early Edition" look thoroughly pathetic. I'll keep watching the new "Fugitive" until it bores me, which I don't think is possible.
