\'The Fugitive\'

8 p.m. Friday, CBS

The biggest problem facing "The Fugitive," a remake of the 1960s series and a redux of the 1990s movie, is how to keep things fresh when the main character will pretty much be doing the same thing every week. Dr. Richard Kimble (Timothy Daly) has been wrongfully convicted of killing his wife and now spends his time running from the law and, of course, helping others.\nDaly does a great job of looking good and making it easy to forget his goofball character from the sitcom "Wings." Surrounded by well-chosen guest stars, the scenes of Kimble undercover are kind of like a non-pretentious and interesting version of "Touched By an Angel." But the police department escapades of Kimble's hunter, Lt. Phillip Gerard (Mykelti Williamson), are not nearly as compelling. Gerard needs to get himself -- and the audience -- out from behind his desk and out on the road where all the fun is taking place.
