Barnaby Jones - The Series
The crime drama/ detective series Barnaby Jones consists of 171 episodes (60-min., including one two-part episode) and three feature length specials; in all 8 seasons, running from 1973 to 1980. The series has no pilot film as originally Buddy Ebsen was to play a guest role on the detective series Cannon, also produced by Quinn Martin. The episode was intended to lead to a possible spin-off. But when CBS needed a stopgap Fred Silverman, in charge of programming, decided for a new series "Barnaby Jones" with William Conrad (Frank Cannon) appearing there as a special guest star in the first episode. In the States the series went down well with the audience and the series lasted for eight years (in comparison: Cannon ran for five years). Several times the series was among the 25 top rated prime time telecasts of a year /season.

Background:
Originally Barnaby Jones was an expert in forensics with the special fields: forensic chemistry, clinical psychology, forensic medicine, toxicology and criminology. He delivered courses of lectures at colleges and worked successfully as a private investigator. Then he retired to raise horses on his ranch in Sun Valley, leaving the concerted Los Angeles-based detective agency to his son Hal. However the murder of his son four years later induced him to solve a case again, to come out of retirement and to resume work together with his daughter-in-law Betty as his assistant and secretary.
Being a forensic chemist he has got a special home laboratory room at his office where clues can be analyzed and possible bits of evidence are evaluated. Often it is there he finds a solution. Even the search for tracks and fingerprints at the site of a crime poses no problem for Barnaby.
