Barnaby Jones The Complete Collection 179 episodes

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.

I haven't watched them all, yet, but those I have been in excellent condition.

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.

I enjoyed Barnaby Jones a child watching with my Mom. Now I am able to watch those same episodes again. The quality of the episodes are mostly great but at the beginning of each dvd reminds you that the company was notable to remove all of the flaws. It’s odd to see the killer first and then watch the detective work up to catching that exact person but that is what you get with Barnaby, the detective who drinks milk and no alcohol.The casing is great also. The dvds are housed in a large plastic case and there are sleeves together inside of it. The sleeves themselves are made together but they are not clipped in the case.The only drawback is that there is no closed captioning.

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
