The Fugitive (TV Series) - Legacy

Legacy

The theme of one or more people on the run, criss-crossing America and getting involved in the personal lives of the people they meet, has become the basis of many similar TV shows.

These have included:

• The A-Team
• Alias Smith and Jones
• Coronet Blue
• First Wave (This TV series has similar plot elements to The Invaders and was probably inspired by it)
• Hot Pursuit
• The Immortal
• The Incredible Hulk (in this case the pursuer is an investigative newspaper reporter)
• The Invaders (made by the same people who made The Fugitive, but this time the hero is more of a pursuer than a man pursued)
• Kung Fu
• The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams
• The Net
• Nowhere Man
• The Phoenix
• Planet of the Apes
• The Pretender
• Prison Break (particularly in seasons 2-4)
• Quantum Leap
• Renegade
• Run, Buddy, Run
• Run for Your Life
• Runaway
• Run, Joe, Run
• Sliders
• Starman
• Two
• Werewolf

In addition, British heavy metal band Iron Maiden's 1992 album Fear of the Dark features a song based on the show entitled "The Fugitive".
