A Quinn Martin production. As were many other fine shows from that era including The Invaders, Cannon, The Streets of San Francisco, Barnaby Jones, Twelve O’Clock High, and many others.
Or as Benny Hill would say, "A Quinn Martin Hartin Larton and Fargo Production"
Land of the Giants, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea,Time Tunnel

Irwin Allen, the biggest tightwad in Hollywood.
Jack Benny wouldn’t like you saying that.
I remember well watching that last episode on a TV set in a motel in Utah. Came in from a camping trip and checked into a motel just to watch the show. I was 17 and had been watching The Fugitive since it first aired in 1963. One of the best TV shows ever with great theme music.
Add ‘Newhart’ to series having great endings.
That ending didn’t make it to the DVD releases due to copyright problems, but the broadcast was one of the greater endings in TV history.
Those were Irwin Allen productions.
And in doing so, it opened the door for every other show that wanted to end by giving fans what they deserved.
“I guess I got what I deserved...”
The soundtrack of the greatest final episode in TV history.
Breaking Bad

I know. They come in back to back after midnight where I live on MeTV
Have the series dvds
Every so often I go to You Tube to watch the last two episodes. It was thrilling to see how the whole thing resolved.
A favorite of mine. It was shot on location and did a fair job of showing what America looked like in the early 1960s - particularly rural and suburban areas. An era long gone.
To quote somebody, “it’s all fake, man.”
I was living in a rural part of southern Maryland the night the final Fugitive episode aired. The town had a volunteer fire department and the local supermarket store caught fire during the episode. The response from the volunteers was so slow that night the store burned to ashes. There was literally nothing to see but burnt rubble the next morning.
What a great show - and David Janssen was awesome:
there was the rumor that he was Clark Gable’s illegitimate son He sure had his ears
