Anybody remember a TV show with the name "The Immortal". It was about
a man with rare blood that stopped him from aging, or ever getting
sick. A billionaire who was dying spent the length of the series
trying to get some of this guys blood. Anybody remember how the
series ended?

The series starred Christopher George. He made his living as a race car
driver, and was being pursued by an old guy who needed periodic transfusions
of the guy's blood to stay alive. Neat enough idea, though it got tedious
after a while; aside from the immortality gimmick, the series was a lot like
"The Fugitive" (or for that matter any of the other series of the same genre).
Sorry, no idea how it ended.

Actually, the "billionaire" didn't just want SOME of his blood. He wanted to keep the guy around forever supplying blood for as long as needed. The show ended when the ratings proved singularly disappointing. Not even "immortal" blood could save that show. --Lauren--
