This is the first "Barnaby Jones" I've watched right through in many, many years. It was quite easy to follow (compared with that other contemporary Quinn Martin production "Cannon") and the story was pretty good too. Good to see dependable Patrick O'Neal as the villain, Charles Aidman in his seventies stock role of picked-on weakling, and Joan Van Ark as femme fatale, about the time she was also appearing in "Mash" as Hawkeye Pierce's occasional squeeze and starring regularly in "Temperatures Rising", one of the better seventies comedies. Disappointing to see so little of Cheryl Miller (previously of "Daktari") in a bit part as a murder victim
