What happened to the frog?


There are about half a dozen episodes in the first season, where a frog is shown croaking in the opening, before Richard Kimble splashes down into the water. Then the frog was cut from the scene. Obvious amphibian discrimination at work.

He left to do coffee commercials with Jim Henson.

I also love that frog. And he's a big fella, too. It's a surreal sound and image, and not in a funny way. In the context of the series as a whole that croaking frog could be Richard Kimble's familiar. A nice, almost brilliant touch from the first season.
