Three Sixties faves,--Naked City, Route 66 and The Fugitive--all wrong for today. The "in search of America" (dream?) thing belongs to another time. A man on the run like Richard Kimble couldn't find work without a background check. Okay, maybe in Appalachia, but even there his anonymity wouldn't last long. The world has shrunk so much in fifty years. Liberal humanism of the kind featured in those three shows is old-fashioned now. Most of the troubled guest characters on those kinds of shows would be in treatment today, or on meds, not just loose cannons rolling around in their home towns, city neighborhoods.
