Thank goodness Mr. Goldberg and others had the foresight to see that “The Fugitive” needed final closure instead of leaving the show hanging in limbo. I’m willing to bet that the same president at ABC who was opposed to the idea of airing a final episode basked in the glory when “The Judgment” had one of the highest ratings in television history.

Same as it ever was. Always remember that whether it's "My Mother The Car" or "Criminal Minds", some imbecile in a suit gave it the green light.

Half a century later, they still didn't learn that lesson when Firefly was cancelled.

As they say, success has many fathers. Add this guy to the list of people who "came up with the idea" to end the series with a final episode (never mind that Roy Huggins put that in his original proposal in 1961). He also says he "paid for an additional episode" even though the 4th (not 5th as he says) season was exactly 30 episodes - like the previous 3 seasons. My BS meter reading is off the charts.
