Best Drama not on TV for years! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I'm speaking of the original FUGITIVE, starring David Jansen. It's been a long, long time since the show has aired nationally.

It had one brief "fandemonium" weekend a couple of years ago (at least it seems like a couple of years) on TVLand, with no further airings.

Before that, it aired last on A&E. But that was about 8 years ago! Why hasn't it been on somewhere, nationally, since then? It consistently draws great ratings, and is truly one of the best shows ever made!

Anyone have any news on THE FUGITIVE coming back to national TV?

I was wondering what happened to The Fugitive myself! Last time I saw it, it was on WWOR-TV about 7 years ago and they showed it at 8:00 p.m. Central Time!! Another show I liked was The Mod Squad,and they too showed on WWOR at night at 7:00 p.m. Central Time!!! Both shows are awesome!!!!!!
Maybe, you could write to WGN and maybe find out if they're going to show it!! They are getting into more reruns of old shows like Happy Days and Hawaii Five-O!!! It's worth a try!!!
