10/10
THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE IN CALIFORNIA?
29 March 2024
If you are a follower of the mysterious Bermuda Triangle, this is your cup of tea. It may also be partly based on a real life incident, about 10 years earlier.

Buddy Ebsen's pretty daughter, Bonnie, returns to the series, this time playing a young woman named Dawn, who is washed ashore on Venice Beach. The big question looms; is she the only surviver of a giant whirlpool that took down her boyfriend's yacht -- or are hijackers playing hide and seek? Barnaby, naturally, accepts the latter scenario.

Exceptional writing on the part of Norman Jolley, who wrote 41 episodes for the show, also producer for IRONSIDE and the FBI. Jolley may have done some research on the Bermuda Triangle and came up with a very famous case. In 1967, a well known hotel owner called Dan Beruck disappeared along with his yacht in the Triangle, which was reportedly un-sinkable. The mystery was never solved, and there are many who believe he may have been the victim of hijackers because of his wealth.

Food for thought, and one heck of a mystery.

Bonnie Ebsen, who later appeared on DAYS OF OUR LIVES, is supported by popular actor Charles Siebert. Siebert is best known for playing Dr. Riverside on TRAPPER JOHN. He passed in 2022 due to Covid.

Give this one a watch. SEASON 6 EPISODE 22 remastered color CBS dvd box set. 6 dvds 20hrs. 2018 release. The box cover only has Barnaby and Betty on front, not JR?
