On-line Discussion Groups
-
Until Yahoo shut down its hosting of chat forums in 2020, two communities of fans
were active on that platform. At KIIIIIIIIMMMMBLE!!!
The Fugitive List, a discussion list linked to this website, dozens of subscribers
posted messages about the show, while THE-FUGITIVE-VIEWS-AND-REVIEWS
focused mostly on summaries, reviews and screen captures of the show's episodes.
Fortunately, an excellent meeting-place for devotees of the series still exists today at
http://www.facebook.com/groups/FugitiveTvSeries.

40 minutes; another set released in 2008 is listed as having the rest of the
Season 1 episodes. While reviews of these initial sets were positive, the
next batch of episodes from this distributor (some Season
2 shows) has been significantly doctored, with a few scenes cut and most of
the original music tracks replaced (apparently because of problems obtaining
necessary permissions from copyright holders), according to Stephen Bowie's
