Well Doggies!

Almost two decades since its cancellation, the CBS-TV series Barnaby Jones suddenly seems to be all over the news. A couple of weeks back, we reported on the coming DVD release of that Buddy Ebsen-led private eye show. Now we hear that Ebsen’s series co-star, former Miss America Lee Meriwether, will be making a special guest appearance this next week on the Internet radio program TV Confidential to talk about her years on Barnaby Jones, as well as some of her previous acting work.

From the program’s Web site:

Film and TV icon Lee Meriwether is scheduled to join us on the next edition of TV Confidential, premiering Monday, Nov. 30, at 10 p.m. ET, 7 p.m. PT on Shokus Internet Radio, with a rebroadcast Tuesday, Dec. 1, at 11 p.m. ET, 8 p.m. PT on Share-a-Vision Radio, KSAV.org.

Known to many of us for playing Betty Jones on the long-running private detective series Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973-1980), as well as The Catwoman in the original Batman motion picture from 1966, Lee Meriwether has been a film and TV icon for more than four decades. We’ll talk about these famous characters, plus her roles on such classic series as Star Trek, The Fugitive, Mission: Impossible, Dan August and Perry Mason, her work with such legends as John Wayne, Rock Hudson, Andy Griffith, Jonathan Winters, Irwin Allen and James Garner, and a whole lot more.

If you want to be part of our conversation, if you have a question for Ms. Meriwether about her career or any of the films and TV series in which she’s appeared, we invite you to join us for our live broadcast Monday, Nov. 30 beginning at 10pm ET, 7 p.m. PT on Shokus Internet Radio. Phone number is (888) SHOKUS-5 / (888) 746-5875. Email address is talk@tvconfidential.net.

Sounds like a purr-fectly delightful experience.
