Featured review
11/5/63: "See Hollywood and Die"
Dr. Kimble is now working at a gas station in New Mexico. It gets robbed by a pair of crooks, (Lou Antonio and Chris Robinson), with big ideas of using the money to get to Hollywood where they'll become famous and live in a mansion with a swimming pool. Obviously, they aren't too bright- or stable. They take Kimble and a woman, (Brenda Vaccaro), hostage as they escape. Kimble thinks quickly and pretends to be a crook who was planning to rob the station himself and get to LA, where he knows people and has a big job planned. He lords it over the hoodlums, saying if they play their cards right, they could be part of his plan.
This is the first of a series of episodes where the writers put Kimble in ironic situations- here he's pretending to be a crook when he's an innocent fugitive and he's having to deal with real crooks who are on the lam. He has to figure out how to save his hostage and deliver his new partners to justice without revealing himself to the law. Those dilemmas make this one of the better episodes. I also like the fact that David Janssen gets to come out of his self- imposed shell and play the role of a tough, confident professional criminal. He's not looking at the ground all the time in this one.
