DVD Review: The Fugitive - Season One, Volume Two
Published February 26, 2008
In my opinion, while the 1993 movie The Fugitive starring Harrison Ford was alright and the 2000 attempt at remaking The Fugitive television series starring Tim Daly was an abject failure, the original is a television masterpiece. Creator Roy Huggins, producer Quinn Martin, and all of the actors involved came together to create one of the finest dramas in television history.
I highly recommend The Fugitive: Season One - Volume Two and suggest you pick up The Fugitive: Season One - Volume One if you can to experience the show from the beginning. Though it's disappointing that the distributors felt the need to break one season into two sets for marketing purposes, you won't regret your purchase.
The Fugitive: Season One - Volume Two includes the final 15 episodes of season one on four DVDs. The video is excellent for a series from 1964. The back of the DVD slipcase claims that these transfers were taken from the original negatives. I believe it, because the films look beautiful. The audio has been restored from the original as well, and is presented in Dolby Digital English Mono. Closed captioning is available. There are absolutely no extras on this set.
One note: As Paramount sets often note, on the back of the set there is a warning: "Music has been changed for this home entertainment version. Some episodes may be edited from their original network versions." There is no further explanation of what cuts, if any, were made. There were no discernible changes I could see, but the warning is there.
