This first clip was for an imporant episode as far as Toobworld is concerned, since William Conrad guest-starred as his character of Frank 'Cannon':
One thing you may notice is that by the time of the fourth season, the theme music had altered slightly.......
By the time Mark Shera joined the cast (probably to help the show gain some younger viewers), the theme music had become a bit sluggish. Also, it looks like they were really scraping to find guest stars by this point. (Maybe it was an effort to save money?) Martin Kove is the only name I recognized and he wouldn't become "famous" until 'Cagney & Lacey'......
But the guest star factor wasn't always a problem during the Jedediah years:
Not all of these guest stars may be recognizable to you, but great roles in other series and/or movies come to mind when I see the likes of Janis, Balin, Masters, Chapman, and especially Bert Freed.
BCnU!

Jerry Goldsmith not only reined supreme at the movies, he did so on TV as well. His themes for THE WALTONS, ROOM 222, and especially for BARNABY JONES remain three of my all-time favorites. That's so weird, though, about the slowed-down version; it has absolutely no teeth. Maybe they did that because most of the audience members were lacking teeth as well?
Very cool site, Toby. I need to explore it more fully.
Thanks, Dean; I consider it an honor you dropped by!
