The Fugitive Parts 1 and 2 - Tom Hanks on the Run!

It's funny at the airport. Alex tries to book Uncle Ned a plane ticket and has a hard time with what name to use and what city Ned's going to. :lol:

It goes something like this:

Clerk: Name?
Alex; Alex Keaton

Ned makes a noise with his newspaper.

Alex: No, not Alex Keaton.
Clerk: Not Alex Keaton?
Alex: Ned Donnely.

Another noise.

Alex: No, not Ned Donnely.
Clerk: Kid, in the scheme of life, this is one of the easier questions.

Alex gives a made up name. I think Gomez.

Clerk: Where are you going?

Alex looks at Ned.

Clerk: Do you want me to wait while you go ask?

Alex names a few different places.

Clerk: You had an easier time with your name. Shall we go back to that?

:lol:

That was great. :lol: You'd think Alex would be a little smarter in a situation like that.

It's too bad Tom Hanks never appeared appeared on the show after Season 2. I've always wondered whatever happened to Uncle Ned. :lol:

Was Tom Hanks only on the show those two times?

Was Tom Hanks only on the show those two times?
Yes! But the episode where he is a fugitive was a two-parter so he was in three episodes.
