In The 1990S When I Was Watching Reruns Of The Fugitive On The Arts And Entertainment Network Twice A Day, I Couldn'T Take My Eyes Off It. . . . No One In The Fugitive Ever Relaxes As You Watch And You Can'T Relax Either, Even Though For Long Stretches Absolutely Nothing Happens. It Was The Combination Of Nonstop Tension With The (Relative) Absence Of Slambang Action That Attracted Me, And As I Now Reflect On It, The Same Combination Characterizes The Literary Works I Have Been Reading And Writing About For More Than Fortyfive Years.Stanley Fish, From The Introductionin The Stark Television Drama The Fugitive, Dr. Richard Kimble, An Innocent Man Convicted Of Murder, Is On The Run From The Police And In Pursuit Of The Real Killer. The Awardwinning Show, Which Aired On Abc From 1963 To 1967 And Inspired A 1993 Blockbuster Movie, Still Has Many Devoted Fans, None More Passionate Than Literary And Legal Theorist And Intellectual Provocateur Stanley Fish. In The Fugitive In Flight, Fish Examines The Moral Structure Of The Longrunning Series And Explains Why He Thinks This May Well Be The Greatest Show Ever Aired On American Network Television.Analyzing Key Episodes, The Fugitive In Flight Goes Beyond Plot Summaries And Behindthescenes Stories. For Fish, The Real Action Of The Fugitive Takes Place In Confined Spaces Where The Men And Women Richard Kimble Encounters Are Forced To Choose What Kind Of Person They Will Be For The Rest Of Their Lives. Kimble Is The Catalyst Of Such Choices And Changes, But He Himself Never Changes. Breaking Free From The Political And Social Problems Of His Time, He Is Always The Bearer And Exemplar Of The Very Middleclass Values Informing The System That Has Misjudged Him. Kimble Is The Perfect Representative Of A Midtwentiethcentury Liberalism That Values Above All Independence, Personal Integrity, And The Refusal To Surrender Oneself To Obsessions Or Causes. He Is So Consistently Faithful To His Liberal Vision Of Life That He Displays Both Its Virtues And Its Dark Side, The Side That Flees Attachments, Entanglements, Responsibilities, And Human Connections. Stanley Fish'S Richard Kimble Is The Ultimate Man In A Gray Flannel Suit, Even When He Is Wearing A Windbreaker And Walking Down A Dark, Lonely Road.
