I will give you my pop theory on this, LOL! They were trying to bring in Mark Shera from SWAT and keep the fans from that they made his new character too much like the old one so that "we" would be happy. Big mistake, the hardest one to watch is that second episode about the cub reporter where...
I am on the other end of spectrum from you. I started watching the show in the J.R. years, before that it was just a show my mother watched.After the episode that introduced J.R. then the next few were hard to watch, it took them a while before they figured out what to do with his character...
I guess to each his own, my favorite episodes are when I don't know who the killer is and they surprise me. Actually I like the combination of sometimes knowing and sometimes not knowing.
I don't mind when stars of that quality show up, to me it is when Bonnie Ebsen shows up again and again. LOL! She really can't act at all. One of my favorites is Geoffrey Lewis since he would play both bad guys and good guys and then sometimes in between.
I started with the 5th season and so far in seasons 5-8 I have only found four episodes that aren't edited. Funny in seasons 5-8 there are four episodes that are two part episodes, three of those are the full episode while the fourth one is edited. I thought I was going to find all of them...
I hate when that happens especially when it affects the story line. I am always amazed at what they think they can edit out and later in the episode you are wondering where that fact came from.
I keep forgetting to mention this and maybe other people already know this but when I first started watching these episodes I was really disappointed in the quality. My husband came home and started messing around with the options on the TV and changed two settings from off to on and it greatly...
About 10 years ago I was really into this show (well anything Mark Shera was in) and you could find trading groups where you could trade episodes of things you had recorded with people who had things you wanted. I guarantee those bootleg copies out there on ioffer are the result of someone...
I don't think it was called an Epilogue but what I am talking about that they edited out was the "feel good" scene at the end. A lot of times it was funny. The best example I can give is the first episode of the last season "Man on Fire". After Barnaby tells the "bad guy" "yes you are" it jumps...
Speaking from the episodes I collected over the years (Big Mark Shera fan) a lot of the episodes that were shown in syndication had that quick ending which I call poor editing or I guess they didn't think we cared to see the ending. It wasn't until I collected some episodes from overseas that I...
Thanks! That gives me hope!
Has anybody gotten to the last few seasons (5-8) yet? I was just wondering about the quality and if most of them are the syndicated ones?
After reading these comments I really wish my set would arrive. I guess I need to get on VEI again, the last time I called they told me it was sent media mail and from New York to Texas takes a while. If I had known standard shipping mean't media mail I would have never taken the free...
Thanks Brian! I guess I will have to call VEI since they won't answer my e-mails. I can't contact the post office because when I look up the tracking number it states the label has been created but that doesn't indicate receipt by the post office. Who knows what happened to it but I am glad...
Did you order from VEI and if so how long did it take? I received a notice mine shipped on the 10th but after that the tracking info hasn't changed and I haven't received it yet.
Is anyone else having trouble getting their ordered set of Barnaby Jones? I received an e-mail on the 10th saying it was shipped but since then the tracking info hasn't changed. It continues to say "shipping label created". I e-mailed VEI but haven't received any response from them either.
I appreciate the reviews. I am still waiting on mine, the shipping label was created but the status hasn't changed since that happened. I am going to be very disappointed if these are the syndicated versions since you lose key parts of the story with the syndicated versions. I always shook my...
