Dark Shadows (1966–1971)
10/10
Still Popular and Deservedly So!
25 September 2011
I flip flop between Lost in Space and Dark Shadows as my favorite show. Both quite different, but the enjoyment value of viewing the shows is what counts.

Dark Shadows is so popular on Facebook. A few of the cast members are found there, as are many role players. There are a few groups dedicated to the show. Awesome!

As a child, I began watching the show after the introduction of Barnabas Collins. Of course the ratings went up dramatically after he was written into the show. I got caught up with that and watched the show religiously until the end of the series in April 1971.

Those of you reading this and familiar with the show know what I'm talking about. Memorable characters such as Julia Hoffman, Angelique, Nicholas Blair, Adam, Quentin, Willie Loomis, Carolyn, Roger, Elizabeth, Maggie, David, Count Petofi, etc etc.... That's why we watch it. Of course, some ghosts, some other vampires, werewolves.

The music.....Robert Cobert, you are a genius.

The sets.....likewise, Seymour Tomashoff. Incredible!!

Why try to update the show? I couldn't handle the NBC version after maybe 30 minutes. Thank goodness it has arrived on DVD (I do have plenty of VHS tapes....)!!!!!
