Favorite weird moment watching COPS (a Houston episode):  They're
cruising through a neighborhood looking for some guy, and I'm saying to
myself "man, this looks awfully familiar."  Then I realize it's the
neighborhood where I grew up (and my mother still lives).

I would've felt better if it'd been "Lifestyles of the Rich and
Famous".......

Keep watching. A&E is showing it all. Tape it if you miss it.

1963 - 1967 (4 years)

Not a big hit, but the Finale is still in the top list of TV events
watched ever.

> Who played Dr. Campbell?  Is he still around?

David Janssen (Dr. Richard Kimble), went on to play the title roll in
'Harry-O'. He died in 1977 from lung cancer. He was a chain smoker.

Many times.

> Why did the murderer kill Dr. Campbell's wife?

My recommendation: rent the videotape of the last episode. My only
spoiler is:
"Tuesday, August 29, 1967, the day the running stopped".

Why not. Need a plot from someplace.

Well, then, that proves that sexual preference is *NOT* 
voluntary (I know, but there are some people who think gays
can be "cured"), because if anyone could convince a gay guy 
to go straight, it would be Heather.  She may not convince
you to join a health club, but about just about anything 
else, I'd say she could be pretty convincing. <G>
Sorry for the off-topic, I couldn't resist.

*ACCUSED*?  An *accused* lesbian?  Do you all have any idea
how offensive this moronic thread can be?  Does any one of 
you have a single thing to say about the representation of
gay men and lesbians on TV shows?  All I've seen so far is

Maybe it's because Rugby is an amateur sport and we wouldn't want any

The Electra Woman and Dyna-Girl segments were the most exciting,

Odd, since I always got the idea that everyone who worked at WHYY with the
exception of GM Rick Breitenfeld and Station Manager Bill Siemering was at
the 6th and Race offices in Philadelphia.  All of WHYY-FM is there (makes
sense since it IS under a Philadelphia license) along with the Forum theatre
and three production studios.  

The Philadelphia studios are where they produce the begathons, and have been
rented out to other production companies, including the producers of "You
Bet Your Life" (with Bill Cosby) and "Double Dare."  The only thing I know
of that's done at the Wilmington studios are the evening news and the
Delaware lottery drawings.

WHYY's actual broadcast/satellite facilities are still located at 46th and
Market in West Philadelphia.  [This location is where the entire
Philadelphia operation used to be, and still has the 'Auction Pickup' sign
on the back gate from when they used to do an annual On-Air Auction for
fundraising.  It also still has the side entrance from American Bandstand
from the long-gone days when it was WPVI's studio.]

I watched the TV series "The Fugitive" when I was a small kid in
my home country.  Recently, I spotted reruns of the show on A&E
here in the States and made me recalled memories of my childhood.

Since I'd never finished watching the entire series and cannot
afford the time to see the reruns, I am turning to the net to
see if some old-timers can answer a few questions that had long
been buried at the back of my mind.

First of all, when was it made?  It's in black and white, so I guess
in the 40's or 50's.  However, some relatively modern jet-engined
planes had appeared in the show (??).

Was it a big hit in America?

Who played Dr. Campbell?  Is he still around?

Now, the most important question(s):  Did Dr. Campbell ever find the
man whom he saw escaping from the crime scene (his home?) ??
Did he get acquitted of the murder charge?  
Why did the murderer kill Dr. Campbell's wife?

Oh, one more: Ever noticed Dr. Campbell was always involved with
a variety of (troubled) women during his escape?

Thanks!!!

       He has appeared in two dramas shown on Masterpiece Theatre.
   "Paradise Postponed" (based on the novel by John Mortimer) and
   the sequel "Titmus Regained".  He plays the same character, Titmus, in
   both. He is a supporting character in "Paradise" and the lead
   in "Titmus".

Sorry, but you can't blame USA for the ear-splitting version of My Life. This
version was in the original first run of the series. Apparently this was the
thing to do in the 70's. I remember watching B.J. and the Bear and fighting
the urge to throw up every time they mangled some popular song. Luckily TV
shows these days are more sophisticated (and maybe more profitable) so they
choose to use the original versions of hit songs.
