Joe, I think you are fine to just go in order at this point. I believe almost every episode in the first season is top notch and would just say go forward from episode #2 on. I will say that some personal favorites from S1 include:
Never Wave Goodbye, Pts. 1 & 2
See Hollywood and Die
Fatso
Nightmare at Northoak
Terror at High Point
Home is the Hunted
Come Watch Me Die
Bloodline
Search in a Windy City
Angels Travel on Lonely Roads, Pts. 1 & 2
Flight from the Final Demon
Somebody to Remember
The End Game
See, I have a hard time even narrowing them down. Heck, I love pretty much every episode in this 1st Season. There are a couple that might be just a tad bit "slow" (by Fugitive standards), but darned if I don't enjoy every episode.

As you might expect, the primary reason I am grateful for your suggestion, Gary, is that (great as it was) I was expecting something MORE from “Fear”. The series of the sixties may have never had true “finales” (THE FUGITIVE and possibly VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA excepted), but they ALL had very specific “establishing” (opening) episodes.
Think of it… VOYAGE, LOST IN SPACE, TIME TUNNEL, THE INVADERS, even certain sitcoms like GILLIGAN’S ISLAND and McHALE’S NAVY all established their premise, rules, and even their “universe” (if you will) in their premiere episodes… yet “Fear in a Desert City” played as if it could have been plucked out of mid-season.
I’d never want to be subject to spoilers, and hope I’m not inadvertently revealing something (at least something that wasn’t already implied by previous posts), but “The Girl from Little Egypt”, within its story context, delivered exactly what I was hoping for from the premiere episode. Clearly, Gary, that was your intent!
Thanks to you, Gary – and to Steve, Brad, Jack, Harry, and all for piquing my interest in one of the great shows of the sixties.
I’m open to recommendations on “episodes to skip directly to”, as long as they contain no spoilers. I’ll be enjoying this series over a good period of time.
