"Tuesday, August 29, 1967, the day the running stopped."  - At the conclusion of ABC's FUGITIVE series narrator William Conrad said "Tuesday, August 29, 1967, the day the running stopped." Richard Kimble (played by David Janssen) was a free man, exonerated for the murder of his wife. Later that night on ABC's night talk show hosted by Joey Bishop, there was a live interview with David Janssen who was working in Georgia on a new movie. Bishop asked Janssen whether he had anything to say now that he was a free man and beyond the reach of the law. "Yes," Janssen said. "I killed her, Joey. She talked too much."
