Season 1 Quotes

01x11 - Nightmare at Northoak Season 1 / Episode 11: - Nightmare at Northoak

Wilma Springer: Lieutenant... did he kill his wife?
Lt. Philip Gerard: The law says he did.
Wilma Springer: That's not what I meant. Did he really kill her? Is that what you think?
Lt. Philip Gerard: The law says he's guilty. I enforce the law. Whether Kimble really did kill his wife or he didn't is not my concern.
Wilma Springer: What's right is right.
Lt. Philip Gerard: I suppose you could put it as simply as that.
Wilma Springer: I have. All my life.
01x23 - Angels Travel on Lonely Roads (2) Season 1 / Episode 23: - Angels Travel on Lonely Roads (2)

Sister Veronica: A nice little highway rumble, is that it, boys? Well, that is the language, isn't it? A rumble? Roll the squares? The expressions never change, only the faces. Two great big boys bullying their way through life. And with all the noise, as far as life is concerned, you haven't even made a ripple. All you really are is afraid. Yes, afraid of life and its people. You're so afraid that when you swallow, a person can hear the click in your throat. You two and your kind are just a great big boil on the side of humanity that needs a lance. And if you spent two weeks in my school, I'd be the one to give it to you! Now you get on those overgrown bicycles and get yourselves out of here!


Sister Veronica: [to Kimble] Mr. Walker, I'm sorry you had to witness that display. One of my greatest weaknesses has always been a sinful temper.
Dr. Richard Kimble: You're a fraud, Sister. You said you were going to Sacramento to renounce your vows because you couldn't communicate with people, you couldn't get through to them. Well, those two sure got the message.

Season 1 Trivia

  • Episode 17 - Bruce Dern who plays the posse member Charley and Diane Ladd who plays the diner waitress Stella were married to each other at the time.
  • Episode 25 - Goof (crew or equipment visible): When the boys are fighting on the skating rink, as Kimble rushes on skates to break it up, you can clearly see the shadow of the camera, dolly and crew tracking right along with him.
  • Episode 03 - In the song "The Bear Went Over the Mountain," in the title is all that the bear could see: The other side of the mountain.
  • Episode 21 - Santelli tricks Herbie into ratting out Kimble by pretending there's a $5,000 reward for Kimble's capture. No reward would exist until the fourth season when 'The Stafford Chronicle' establishes a $10,000 reward in "The Fugitive" (1963) {Ten Thousand Pieces of Silver (#4.5)}.
  • Episode 01 - This series was loosely based on Victor Hugo's novel "Les Miserables". The writer of this episode, Stanford Whitmore, has said that he chose the surname "Gerard" for Kimble's pursuer because it sounded similar to "Javert," who pursues Jean Valjean in "Les Miserables"
