Barnaby Jones: The Silent Accuser (1980)
Why in the filming locations are always W. Hollywood?
These later episodes always list the filming location is at the studio on Santa Monica Blvd in West Hollywood when obviously this was filmed in a mountainous location. The previous episode was filmed at Oil Can Harry's nightclub on Ventura Blvd in Studio City and it was not mentioned either. Did they just get lazy in these later episodes and fail to write down where they filmed or what?? Very annoying. I also noticed that in these later episodes Betty and JR seem to have taken over Barnaby's roll in the show, I guess Buddy Epson was getting too old to do the show full time as the series progressed.
Barnaby Jones: Nest of Scorpions (1978)
Too convoluted
Preposterous that those big, strong, strapping men were done in with one swack of those tiny girl's shovels. The episodes that don't really include Barnaby seem to be stinkers, and this is one of those. Barnaby is absent the entire episode until the end when he walks into the office claiming that the traffic was bumper to bumper on the San Diego Freeway, after which he jumps into action and shows up just in time for JR to disarm the villainess and wrap the story up. Why are so many murders happening in that mountain town of Colverton anyways, must be something in that lake's water that seems to criminalize the entire town's population!
