Barnaby Jones The Complete Collection 179 episodes

A Winner! The Limited collection is more expensive but Includes 45 Discs. Video quality is better! (depending on output from your DVD player source: HDMI and 24fps) it’s really the users equipment And limited playback of quality that may have some complaining. The discs are copied from 25mm film and possibly thIs limited edition is are its first copy onto DVD. There were no issues of picture degradation (when using the Panasonic Blue Ray DMP-BDT230) it too is affordable $80) offers SD Card, USB, HDMI and Smart Wifi interface. There are other similar DVD player models as well. The SERIES : CBS and Quinn Martin Productions are proud of the fine writing and cast in one of their longest running suspense mystery series. As this show progressed each season so did the characters. A wide range of thought provoking real life “type”cases and storylines made this one of the favorites of its fans. Mark Shera joined the cast in Season 5 through 8. Season 5 opens with Jedediah’s role as cousin to Barnaby and Betty. A great team together. An added treat was the vast amount of guest stars (many got their first start and went on to become successful in their own right. Special guest stars were a pleasure to watch. This is certainly a winning collection. The great majority of episodes are enjoyable to watch. The price is currently $64 saving you over $100 elsewhere.

To all the people complaining about this set, I say "STOP IT". I got mine last week and this show is one of the most bootlegged shows ever and these episodes are clear enough to watch and it is the ONLY place you will get the entire run of the show, many places sell 100 or 125 of the episodes in varying quality and most from TV channels like WWOR or SKY TV or other cable destinations but these shows do have cut episodes but you don't miss much of the plot and I LOVE Barnaby as I watched all the episodes as they came on CBS in the 70's when I was young. Cannon, Streets of San Fransisco, Harry-O, Mannix, Hawaii Five-O and so many other great shows I collect are all available for us to collect on DVD in complete sets now. This set of Barnaby is probably the only complete set we are going to get. Mark Shera and Lee Merriweather (almost 80 now) campaigned tirelessly to get this set out to the public. I wish they had not chopped up some of the episodes like Marathon Murders is missing almost 5 minutes of footage (glad I have my original WWOR broadcast) but where else will you find these great episodes in decent quality? When Barnaby was filmed no one knew we would all have 55 to 90 inch TV screen as big as theaters to look at the episodes on. Looking forward to VEI releasing (according to the brochure inside the package) Martial Law, Petrocelli, Matt Houston and a few other shows I already have TV copies of but looking forward to those and more DVD. My advice: Stop complaining and enjoy what we do have which is a COMPLETE run of Barnaby Jones which we cannot find anywhere else, legally at least. The picture quality looks good enough on my 46 inch Sony Bravia and my 55 inch LG as well as my 42 in Samsung TV's. Just enjoy Barnaby please, then watch Cannon and Hawaii Five-O like I used to watch back to back to back before the Jefferson's and Sanford and Son then Good Times came on. Those were the days.

This is a great show with good writing and excellent actors. The show was on the air 1973 to 1980 for 8 seasons. The quality of the show picture in the DVDs is equal to the quality of the original airing of the show. For anyone stating the quality is not good, they are ignoring the notes at the beginning of the DVDs when they boot. The pictures of post 2010 shows is a different technology and is digital with a much higher resolution. This show was filmed (literally) usiing film which is an analog process. The pictures can only be cleaned up to a point and not beyond. Anyone who has watched shows like this when they aired would understand. I have a good digital television (LG) which shows these DVD good quality shows just fine. I am very much enjoying this DVD set. It is a good buy for the money if you get the entire set. Something which can be a good heirloom for later generations. Nathan

Thanks. Excellent set in excellent condition. I'm impressed.Im glad I wasn't able to cancel the order. I tried but I'm glad it didn't work. I've always loved Buddy Ebsen. I already have the Cannon series and that's good too. He's in a few of these Barnaby Jones shows. This set is complete and in great shape. No problems. Comes in perfectly like it originally was on the tv in the 1970s. Sound perfect too.

As many reviewers' have said,the picture quality isn't the sharpest.But the story lines and acting are great.I always loved the 1970's television shows because they have an appeal of class,excitement and just great all around entertainment.So if anyone is looking for an HD quality picture because they have a super large screen or one of the newer televisions with extra features,this set is probably not for you.But if you are someone who is looking for a great television series,with 1970's era cars ,clothing and middle class lifestyle with great story lines also,then you will love watching Barnaby Jones .Quinn Martin made alot of great programs like Cannon,Streets of San Francisco.I also love many other cop shows of the 70's like,Police Woman,Kojak,Starsky & Hutch,The Rookies,Baretta just to name a few.This was a great era for television,music and motion pictures,and rock concerts,and clothing too.I feel very lucky to have grown up in an era of such great culture.Unless you are looking for perfection ,you will have a hard time not wanting to watch the next episode.

Barnaby Jones was a fantastic show and a great example of 70's TV at it's best! I own a number of titles from VEI and this one doesn't disappoint. In terms of picture and sound quality it's better than I expected. Sure, there are little picture and sound anomalies but nothing to really complain about. I actually don't mind the snap case with pull out DVD sleeve holder setup, nothing appears to be damaged or scratched. This show is from the 70's, so unless some studio is going to restore and remaster it; this is about the best it will ever look. I received my set from Amazon with a cracked case, once again Amazon throws multi disc sets in box with no packaging. Fortunately a quick call to VEI resolved the issue as they sent me a new case. Five stars for Barnaby Jones.

Tolle Krimiserie aus den 70ern.Wurde bei uns leider nie gesendet.Obwohl der Zuschauer meist von Anfang an weiß wer der Täter ist, bleibt die Spannung erhalten.Die Autoren wussten damals noch wie man gute Drehbücher verfasst.Was heute nicht mehr so sehr der Fall ist.Box ist in englischer Sprache ohne deutsche oder englische Untertitel. Wie schon erwähnt, tolle Serie. Deshalb von mir 5 Sterne.

excellent thank you.

Terrific to have all 8 seasons in one boxed set. Each season has its own individual case with episode titles clearly marked on each disc. Fantastic roster of guest stars add to the enjoyment. Memorable opening theme too. Highly recommended.

Although quite expensive worth the money. A good TV series that I had not seen since broadcast on TV many years ago. A programme made in the years when TV was worth watching. No bad language, no sex and no gratuitous violence.
