About Barnaby Jones
Buddy Ebsen plays Barnaby Jones, a retired private eye in his sixties who returns to work after his son Hal is murdered in the first episode. He runs the agency with Hal's widow Betty across 8 seasons on CBS, joined by J. R. Jones from season 5.
Good to know
The premiere, Requiem for a Son, guest stars William Conrad as Frank Cannon, and the two-part season 4 opener The Deadly Conspiracy crosses over with Cannon. Both play fine on their own, and release order matches story order so no separate chronology is listed.
