The Fugitive: The Most Wanted Edition - Complete Series



CBS Has Fixed the Problem!!
**As of November 15, 2012, the web site TV Shows On DVD has announced that CBS is offering replacement discs for 5 defective DVDs in this set. The 5 discs are the two Season 1 discs containing the audio issues in the episodes "Bloodline" and "Taps For a Dead War," the season two disc containing the episode "The Iron Maiden," which has music issues, the season three disc containing the episode "Three Cheers For Little Boy Blue," and the season three disc containing the two-part episode "Landscape With Running Figures." Those episodes had playback problems.

Here is the link to the web site explaining how to order your replacement discs:

A reviewer named Richard H. Campbell posted a review on Amazon.com regarding some defective discs in the newly-reissued 2012 edition of this set. I don't intend to review the product as a whole at this point, but will comment on this defective disc issue.

According to Mr. Campbell, the set contains four...

FIVE STARS!
I ordered mine from Movies Unlimited and it arrived today. I watched "Man In A Chariot," the first episode of the Second Season, and all the original music seemed to be present - except possibly the background music playing at the club during the conversation between Richard Drivas and David Janssen. The video and audio quality are the best I've seen yet.

"Man In A Chariot" is one of the episodes that had a lot of the music replaced in the free Season Two "replacement set" that CBS sent to those of us who heard about the replacement program for Season Two, Part One, and applied to get the new versions with most of the music put back in. (These "replacement sets" were in substitution for the first Season Two, Part One, sets that were issued with ALL the original music replaced with some truly TERRIBLE synthesizer music.) And again, the video and audio quality are even better than the half-season episodes.

I can recommend this set. I'll write a follow-up if I...

Revisit quality, simple, relaxing, family TV.
If you are old enough to remember good clean exciting television, this is worth in price. Revisit the past and a myriad of TV actors from the sixties. I wish they had left some of the commercials in. The cars alone will have you remembering when... Each and every episode features guest stars that were popular at the time and many who went on to greater notoriety. The picture quality and sound whether B&W or color is excellent. I read about possible flawed discs and sent for them. I received them in about two weeks. I ran into one problem with a disc that wouldn't navigate between episodes and used the replacement which worked fine. (Season Three, Disc 3, Volume One) I had no other issues. I bought the set for my wife for this past Mother's Day. We watched all the episodes in about a month. It was easy to substitute for those dead spots, even on cable, where there just wasn't anything that appealed to you or should I say the both of you. Enjoy! it's worth the ride.
