The Silver Screen Oasis

Does this mean that you are getting Me-TV again, I hope?

A tip of my Christmas Stocking Cap to both Wen and April for their great taste in avatars (and men).

Thank you, Moira. Yes, happily we switched cable providers so now I get my "Me-TV" fix, thank goodness.

Me-TV just announced that the finale of "The Fugitive" is going to be broadcast next Friday evening at 8 p.m. as their Friday Night Made-For-TV Movie!

Wow! It's nice that they're calling attention to this classic.

"Tuesday, August 29. The day the running stopped."

What year was that, RR?

Can't wait for tonight!

I think it was 1967. Can't say I'm 100% positive.

imdb does show 1967. It ran 120 episodes.

120 episodes doesn't sound as long.

terrific! i enjoyed all the twists and suspense and even breathed a sigh of relief when "the running finally stopped".

Absolutely. Had a train rolled by in the last scene, I would have half expected him to jump on it! We're happy for Kimble and his family. The writers, and Mr. Janssen, made us care.

was this finale the only time we ever got to see his wife?

No, the same actress appeared in Kimble's nightmarish memories of that night in the 14th episode of the first season, "The Girl from Little Egypt," which featured Diane Brewster in the role of Helen Kimble. Brewster also appeared in the last episode "The Judgment Part II," though I believe there were comments among hard core fans that she looked very different then. "The Girl from Little Egypt" is online if you would like to see it, and it features Pamela Tiffin in a guest role (playing one of those many women in the series who instinctively understands that Kimble is innocent!).

thanks, moira. i look forward to seeing that episode and all the others. i like pamela, she was so pretty.

is that joan bennett in your avatar?

Yes. I usually trot that one out at this time of year. She had an impish glamour that I like here.

According to ME TV's website, THE FUGITIVE starts over tonight, with Episode One. I wonder what this channel will do for Christmas. Last year, on the 24th, they ran a mini-marathon of THE LORETTA YOUNG SHOW. Some, if not all of them, were seasonal episodes. When you live alone, as I do, entertainment of that nature adds a lot to a holiday!
