One of my mom’s favorite crime shows of the 1960s was The Fugitive starring actor David Janssen as physician Richard Kimble whose wife is murdered.
Although an innocent man Kimble was convicted of her murder. On the way to his permanent incarceration the vehicle he was being transferred in was in an accident and he escaped.
He used his freedom to track down his wife’s true killer while being pursued by the police.
After the series ended Janssen kept busy as a guest star on many TV series and in a few movies.
In the early 1970s he returned to network TV starring in the series Harry O as a retired cop now a private investigator: Harry Orwell.
The series lasted four years, won numerous awards and once more brought Janssen into the spotlight.
The series was known for is intricate plots, outstanding performances and especially Janssen’s portrayal as a cop turned P.I. who was world-weary and methodical in his investigation.
Authors Steve Aldous and Gary Gillies, along with McFarland & Company, Inc., Publishers, present the oversize softbound book: The Harry O Viewing Companion which includes the history and episode of the classic detective series.
Along with full episode guides, archival photos and fascinating behind-the-scenes anecdotes and information the book also includes actor, writer and creator film and TV credits, favorite episodes and much more.
