Props to my new husband, who suffered through -- and provided most of the comedic commentary for -- this, Kimble's second escape.
Welcome, welcome everyone, to keckler's newest world of pain. You'd think someone out there hated manimal and me; first Jack & Jill and Time of Your Life, and now this. Ah, well, onward and upward -- at least I can be admiring of Tim Daly's physique rather than having to worry about losing an eye or three over belly shirts and excessive exposure to dinners. Unless, of course, Kimble decides to really throw Lt. "Bubba" Gerard off his scent by hiding out as a New York-dwelling ingnue who works at a bar and dreams of being a really bad singer.
The Hitchcock-esque credits roll as Kimble runs. And runs. And runs. Blood-soaked wife. Resuscitation attempts fail. A one-armed man gets his prosthesis yanked off. The heavy gavel of justice bangs. Kimble escapes. Gerard looks grim and determined. Chase scenes; Kimble flings himself from great heights while pondering his dearly departed wifey and ultimate justice.
A handy-diddly-dandy electric blue map of the United States shows us that this week's port of call is the land of gentle drawls and creepily hanging moss: Savannah "The Most Repulsive of all Girl Scout Cookies" Georgia. A little blue banner across the bottom of the screen tells us that this is all "[m]ade possible in high definition by Panasonic HDTV." Well, that's right, sooner or later everything's going to be HDTV. Kind of like how my friend thinks sooner or later we're all going to be using Sacajawea coins and two-dollar bills, and the one-dollar bill will become obsolete. Of course, this friend also never wears shoes and thinks that having a credit card means the government is hooked into your bedroom. Kimble's echoing voice-over takes the place of a generic "Last time on The Fugitive," and we dj vu all the scenes that also flashed by during the credits. Always good to reuse footage from your $2.6 million premiere episode if you can. Kimble tracks the Greyhound bus he saw One-Arm board to Savannah, Georgia. How he is able to stand in the bus depot unaccosted by the police, who are swarming all over the other areas of the station, long enough to get this information is beyond me.
