Addendum #2: I am really down the rabbit hole now. Apparently early DVD sets of the Fugitive contained technical errors and replaced original music with generic synthesizer stuff, causing much outrage among the fandom. They then put out a “Fugitive: Most Wanted” Box set that was supposed to fix these problems, but apparently did not. This set costs $159! On Amazon. But the $45.49 set is described as being an even more recent set, with all technical and music problems fixed. This now seems too good to be true, so probably is not true. I bought it anyway, because now I am curious, and prepared to demand a refund if unsatisfied.
