Was watching this episode on MeTV earlier and it bums me out how uneven this last season has been. The first 3 seasons had such excellent episodes and the pacing is normal. It's not like you're sitting there watching an episode and you're shocked to see it's only been on 15 minutes when it feels like it's been on 30 minutes.

I just don't know what happened. Idk if they brought in different writers or what. David Janssen's still putting in a fine performance as Richard Kimble so either the writing isn't effecting his parts or he's just a great enough actor that he can overcome a lousy script.

This episode had me shaking my head numerous times. As somebody that's been bullied, the bullies aren't gonna suddenly get a wild hair up their butt and start being nice to their victim. I sincerely doubt they'd give two craps about Richard Kimble and risk getting into legal trouble by distracting the cops so Richard could get away. Those were the two biggies for me.

Kimble is shot in the same leg he was just hit in 5 episodes prior to this one and once again keeps on moving as if a little fluffy kitten scratched at him.

He's up on a roof again as well but at least the writers were bright enough not to have him climb up the wall to get to it this time. Though he easily climbed a bunch of flights of stairs with barely any bloodshed from the gunshot would...and he barely even limps.

The only blood we see are a couple of tiny droplets that the thugs find in the basement from his little kitty scratch. And by the end of the episode he's not even limping at all and leaps with ease into the back of a truck to make one of the most implausible escapes in the show's history. It's so badly done that it was laughable when the cop wouldn't even turn his head to look inside the truck to see Kimble. Give me a break!

The cops don't even bother to search a dark basement. The officer takes a peek from the top of the stairs and is satisfied, then closes the door and walks away!! I'm to believe that police will close off the whole block yet they won't even bother checking a dark basement which is a perfect hiding place???

Even up on the roof, the cops don't even walk the length of it but give it a quick glance and leave....not even bothering to look on the other side of a huge and wide brick pillar that a fugitive could be hiding behind. Keystone Cops lol.

I have to agree with another reviewer here that this is such a disappointing season. I think it's because seasons 1 through 3 were so excellent that it only compounds how bad season 4 is in comparison.

I won't even get into the plot of this episode because we've seen this story over and over in previous episodes and seasons, only done much better.

This one reminded me of an earlier season 4 episode where Kimble hid in an apartment while police closed off the street. Nothing much was new here.

I also agree that none of this is David Janssen's fault as he continues to act well and works with what he's given. It's the bad writing and recycled plots that are getting tiresome at this point. If it weren't for Janssen, i'd probably have stopped watching by this point.

It was pretty laughable and also quite unbelievable how quickly the thugs had a change of heart and suddenly became Jimmy's best buddy by the end and wanted to help Kimble when in reality they'd be dreaming of splitting up that $10,000 reward three ways between instead!

When I watched seasons 1 through 3 I couldn't wait to pop in the dvd to see the next episode. Heck, even the stinkers were good during those seasons. (and there weren't many) This season however, I pop in the dvd thinking "Oh just get it over with". I just don't have the same anticipation and excitement as I did and I wonder if viewers felt the same in 1967 when a new episode aired?

Only a few episodes left to go and I can't wait because then I can begin again with the excellent b&w seasons.
