Barnaby Jones hope? (1 Viewer)

[HenryDuBrow]

Excellent news, split or not it's mine. A bit far away from now, but hey it's coming! Hopefully 2010 is another really good Paramount DVD year for their TV archive classics. Other studios like Universal, Warner and Columbia better start shaping up...

Yeah I just noticed that, I think I'll wait till Season 2 to see whether we'll get a whole season or a split season. If we get the whole Season 2 I'll buy the first two seasons, otherwise, no way.

Isn't something better than nothing? I don't get the backing away from the split seasons, sure I dislike them badly too, but it seems to be the way they go with certain titles. And if people don't buy Paramount's split sets, then that's the one studio we'll never see a good many shows coming from. A full season set is no sure bet a release will continue, as we've seen with Kojak or The Fall Guy, etc.

I usually wait to order a slit season a few weeks after it comes out and get it Used-like new. Usually that means the product is brand new but has a cut in the bar code or something. I don't care if it has a cut in the bar code. It saves me money.

If anybody can help...


I am trying to compile a list of the composer for each episode of the series -- a difficult task for this series, so far. Here is what I got:

Nice to see that this was confirmed today over on tvshowondvd.com. The first season will be released on Feb.16th 2010. Even better it states that it will be the original broadcast episodes.

Looking forward to this one. After reading the TSoD post, I didn't see any of the 1st half-season shows back then so it'll be a new view for this one.

Busy day updating my Excel DVD list. Vega$ S1 V2 and now this one.

Peggy, I agree (good news / orig eps). CBS/P does a good job with their TV/DVD releases as a rule - uncut episodes most of the time. I don't have any of their releases with cut eps in them. They don't do as good with the music edits.

According to the Paramount syndication bible, the first 13 episodes have been transferred to HD (unlike poor old Cannon ), so the picture quality should be A+.

I'm glad to see this, FINALLY. I'll be picking this up for sure!

This is exciting news for me. I loved the 70's detective shows, and this is one of the last ones that was not represented in my collection. I don't know if I will make it through 8 seasons, but first we will have to see how many actually get released.

i am looking forward this release, especially seeing the episode that George (Cheers) talks about in one of the Cheers episodes.

The thing about Barnaby Jones sales is that like a lot of shows that lasted 8 seasons the fans are really split on this show. When they brought Mark Shera on in the 5th season it really changed the show and it brought the show a lot of new fans and it also lost the show a lot of fans. I know from participating on a discussion group which gets into some pretty heated discussions that a lot of later fans won't buy the early seasons which is shame since we may never get the later seasons because of that.

It reminds me how long it's been since I've seen any of these episodes. I remember Mark Shera now but only after you jogged my foggy memory

 

its about time that barnaby jones is getting released out

 

[peggy]

I noticed that you can pre-order this on Amazon already, how long before there is a link from TSoD to order it from there?

 

[Chris Muermann]

I´m so happy that they bring out Barnaby Jones. Let´s cross all our fingers that they don´t destroy the original music as they did with The Fugitive Season 2.

 

[Corey3rd]

appears these DVDs will look better than Cannon cause the Paramount Bible has the first 13 episodes listed as transfered to HD.

Also the first season of Matt Houston is in HD

And speaking of both William Conrad and Lee Horsley, fingers crossed for Nero Wolfe eventually which is Paramount too, two birds with one stone there.
