Curiosidades
On seeing the pilot, Jerry Goldsmith tried to get out of scoring it because he thought it was horrible (a view critics shared). However, he was convinced to write the theme tune and score the pilot - ultimately this ran longer than any of his other series (with the exception of Los Walton (1972)).

Pifias
It's never explained why Jedediah Romano "J.R." Jones does not carry a gun. He obviously knows how to handle a firearm as he does sometimes after taking one away from a bad guy. A law abiding citizen over the age of 21 as well as a military veteran working for a licensed private detective agency should certainly qualify for a gun permit.

Créditos adicionales
During original broadcast run, the opening credits would follow the setup scene. Therefore the first victim was not listed among the guest stars since their character is already dead. Only in Deadline for Murder (1980) was initial victim, Alex Henteloff, included in the opening credits.

Conexiones
Featured in The 29th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards (1977)

Good, But Primarily Because of Buddy Ebsen

Standard Quinn Martin series.

Buddy has class, dignity, manners, and is polite, and that really is enjoyable to watch.

Merriweather, is humble and a good supporting character.

Shera is alright.

I have watched the first five seasons, and besides the terrible DVD quality, every single episode, except a few, is about the same, and 95% are about murder:

Crime happens.

Jones visits with the person who hired him.

Immediately, he knows who commited the crime and visits with her or him.

They lie through their teeth.

He investigates, and proves them wrong.

Most times, he plugs the crook, but ALWAYS just wings them.

This is like the Lone Ranger, always tried only to injure.

Epilogue. Some little happy saying, then the credits.

Betty, almost always acts like she can't figure out how Barnaby, deduced something, which makes him look better.

Each season has about two excellent episodes.

But the main reason to watch is for Ebsen.
