Barnaby Jones




Until the cancellation of the series '' Cannon '', the characters of both series moved back and forth between the two shows.

In 1976 , the character of J. R., Barnaby's young cousin ( Mark Shera ), joined the cast. He had come to try to solve the murder of his father, but stayed around to help Barnaby and Betty while also attending Law School .

During the mid 1990s , Meriwether and Shera expressed interest in a ''Barnaby Jones'' reunion TV movie, but could not talk Ebsen into joining the project. However, in 1993 , Ebsen reprised the role of Barnaby Jones in the big-screen remake of his most famous TV series, '' The Beverly Hillbillies ''. It would be his final theatrical appearance.
