8/10 I got 9 & 10 wrong. On a side note: I always wondered why the writers/producers didn't want J.R to carry a gun.

Haven't seen too much Barnaby Jones. It comes on way too late at night... or, in the morning, I should say.

I got "evil" Barnaby Jones for my score. But, you know, even :evil" Barnaby Jones looks kindly.

Canon was a beautiful fat karate stud . Jones was weak but smart and had awesome hair . Cannon laser episode was the worst thing ever put on tv . But still a great series

"You got 7 out of 10. Uh oh! You've awoken... Evil Barnaby Jones!!"

Kudos you guys for the pic of Evil Barnaby with satanic red eyes,lol.
It's a little early in the day to be hitting the sauce, isn't it fellas?

I watched it every week as a teen,for some reason back then I always did my math homework
while watching it.
As an adult I find it to be by far the weakest of all the Quinn Martin productions.
Its totally by the numbers, I can literally predict what is going to happen next.
I really like Ebsen, he can do everything but sing, he was truly scary in bad guy roles -
usually Westerns - and as a mass murderer Inn keeper on Maverick he was chilling.

But as was constantly noted - and made fun of - at the time, he phoned in the role,
giving the trite scripts and pedestrian production values the respect they deserved.
The role and his beyond laid back, almost sleeping acting became a punchline on variety
shows and on talk shows like Carson.

As a kid I liked the show - even today at 60 years old

Wouldn't it be weird if JR Ewing worked for Barnaby Jones? Kristen wouldn't have been the one who shot him...LOL!
