In recent decades producers have sought to merge the artistic freedom that anthology series provide with the viewer loyalty that character-driven shows enjoy. Thus shows like "The Fugitive", "The Invaders", and "Doctor Who" in the 1960s, and their latter-day counterparts "The Incredible Hulk", "Nowhere Man", and "Quantum Leap". Few such shows, no matter how promising their early episodes, have long managed to keep their lead character's story from eventually overshadowing the lives and stories of those they encounter. A list of anthology series could probably be easily generated by reference to IMDb.
