BARNABY JONES

Barnaby Jones
January 28, 1973 - April 3, 1980

BARNABY JONES
Detective Drama (1973-1980)

Barnaby Jones -- Buddy Ebsen

Betty Jones -- Lee Meriwether

Jedediah Romano (J.R.) Jones ('76-80) - Mark Shera

Lt. Joe Taylor (1973) - Vince Howard

Lt. John Biddle ('74-'80) -- John Carter

After a long and successful career as a private investigator, Barnaby Jones had retired, leaving the business to his son, Hal.

When Hal was murdered while on a case, Barnaby came out of retirement to help track down his son's killer. Hal's widow, Betty, worked with her father-in-law to solve the case and remained with him, as his assistant, when he decided to keep his LA based firm in operation.

His keen analytic skills were often masked by a homespun exterior, drawing guilty parties into a false sense of security that led to their downfall.

Until Cannon -- another LA detective series -- went off the air in the fall of 1975, there was occasional interplay between it and Barnaby Jones.
