    Storyline

    • Trivia
      This was George Uttley's (Tom Poston) all-time favorite show in the sitcom Newhart (1982). George would often quote Barnaby when faced with a problem and he needed sage advice to solve it.
    • Goofs
      Barnaby is renowned for his scientific ability. However he has a habit demonstrated several times of blowing into the evidence bags to open them up. This would contaminate anything he put in the bag.
    • Crazy credits
      During original broadcast run, the opening credits would follow the setup scene. Therefore the first victim was not listed among the guest stars since their character is already dead. Only in Deadline for Murder (1980) was initial victim, Alex Henteloff, included in the opening credits.

    quality television
    An excellent 1970s detective show with a heart. Lee Meriwether is superb as the supportive Betty Jones. As the series progressed Betty was allowed out of the office and into the fray. Mark Shera as Jedidah Jones was an unnecessary attempt to attract younger viewers. Barnaby could always handle any young punk that he came across without any help.

    FAQ4

    • I have the Barnaby Jones Complete Collection. In the usual Quinn Martin productions they have the four acts (not listed like the previous QM shows) and then the epilogue at the end. On my DVDs they don't have a epilogue. The show ends abruptly then they have the credits. Did they ever have an epilogue? And if they did, why did they not include it on the in the complete collection?
    • When did Mark Shera join the cast?
    • Did Buddy Ebsen enjoy working with Mark Shera?
