Honestly, I haven't seen a bad Barnaby Jones episode yet. Stumbled upon it early Season 3 now it's Season 5. J.R. has already been in a few episodes. I like that Barnaby Jones uses the forensics. He will look under the microscope 🔬 analyzing things. I turned 50 this year. Vaguely remember BJ and Hawaii Five-O 🌊 in the late 1970's. Some of the 1970's crime shows initial runs. Barnaby Jones is definitely underrated. He looks very old with his white hair and has a soft-spoken manner. It's probably why Barnaby Jones can solve so many crimes. Very intelligent and sharp mind. He has the detective skills plus the forensics ability. In most of the 1970's shows, they have a lab tech type who gives them the info they seek. Lt. Biddle also deserves more shine. He listens to BJ and backs him up when the time has arrived. Just very impressed by the show. JC

Have been watching Barnaby Jones here on ME-TV. I was surprised by the intelligent and quality episodes. Barnaby Jones similar to Columbo as he grinds down the criminal offender over time. It's 5th season episodes now where J.R. has joined the team. Barnaby, Betty, and J.R. are a formidable team. J.R. brings some energy and youth to the show. It was a smart decision to bring in J.R. to the team. Agree Barnaby Jones is underrated compared to the more notable 70's Crime Dramas. Cannon, Hawaii Five-O 🌊, Kojak, The Rockford Files, Streets Of San Francisco. It's my own fault and ignorance not watching Barnaby Jones in the syndicated episodes long ago. Guess better late than never. JC
