Movie Reviews of The Fugitive: Season Two, Vol. 2
Movie Review: The Finest '60s Drama
Summary: 5 Stars
Have now watched over half of this edition. Although it's a while since I've seen my video collection most of these episodes are instantly familiar, but they come up fresh and are as superb now as they ever were.
One of the strengths of the QM productions was the top notch casts lists and it's pleasantly nostalgic to see all those old familiar character actors again. And of course the wonderful David Janssen.
The transfers are generally very good and bright. The packaging is nice and economical and I can't wait for the completion of this enterprise so that I can trash my videos and free up some space.
Regarding the music, I deliberately am NOT comparing with my videos, but am just viewing these episodes with an impartial ear. CBS have responded to the world-wide protests by including all of Peter Rugolo's specially composed cues, which are marvellous and so familiar to all fans. Other experts have voiced concerns over some replacement cues for non-Rugolo ones but I have to say that to my ears the episodes sound fine.
I was one of those who joined in the protests and complained to CBS, but my view is that we should now be grateful that this series is being completed. "The Fugitive" is obviously a problem child for CBS, but we should recognise that they are a commercial operation not a charity and they obviously have to balance satisfying the demand for this series with a hard-headed realism not to pay out large sums to opportunistic copyright holders of obscure music cues.
If another company does eventually bring out a perfect "night of broadcast" series then if any of us original baby boomers are around we'll obviously buy it, but I have my doubts as to whether we'll ever see that.
Let's celebrate one of the best dramatic series of all time and omwards to the completion of the two remaining seasons!
