Dark Shadows Rewatch

I am rewatching DS from the beginning on Amazon Prime! Still find this show fun, especiLly when I watch it late at night. I’m up to the first time travel story when we’d see the origin of Vampire Barnabas. Fun stuff!

I've been watching DS on Amazon too! It is so camp it is cool. I watched when I was 13 or 14, back in 1968. There is a blog where a guy has been watching every day and blogging about it. His take on the show is hilarious and enjoyable. I like to watch an episode and then read his reaction to that episode.

I’ll check it out. Thanks!

I was too young at the time to understand what was going on but I remember Kate Jackson . I think I saw Julia kill her double. I would have to quick change the channel so my mother didn’t catch me watching! lol.

I did watch it all when it aired on the sci-fi channel. Fun times.

I’m now on the 1897 storyline. Quentin wars cursed by Magda. There is sooo much going on in this story. Lots of fun!!

I'm almost there. I saw the introduction of Quentin with the two kids. Looking forward to more the his story, because Danny, on Dark Shadows Everyday blog has made it seem like it will be entertaining!

The 1897 sl is one of the best. They extended it as I understand due to the popularity.

I am so upset that Episode 01 to 209 are getting so much hate and Barnabas and the timey wimey stuff gets all the hype..

I really loved the way David matured over the first 200 episodes and come on the murder mystery of Bill Malloy was intense and brilliant written. The revalation and continuing with the psychopathic housekeeper Matthew was amazing..

And what about the introduction of Davids mother aka phoenix?

I will always love the pre-Barnabas era cause it set everything in motion even with it's flaws

I am still in the third season . The first few seasons are not as exciting, though the series is always on an upward spiral, continually getting better. As a little kid, I started watching when Angelique was already on, so I was riveted. Apparently, I have to wait another season for Angelique and God knows how long for Quentin. I love the 18th and 19th century stuff best. I do love Maggie Evans. My heart goes out to her. I can't stand Barnabas.

Once they go to 1795 and Angelique shows up the pace really picks up.

Yes! That was when I started watching it back in the day. It should be coming soon. Barnabas turned into an old man already and back to himself and now has Carolyn as a servant. Poor David. Anyway, that's what I'm up to. I'm not the best binge watcher. I only have time for a couple of episodes here and there.

I just went thru 1896 with a jump to the 1700s and now back in ‘modern’ day. It was like a ping pong match.

[Emerald Greens]

Fun times! Daytime doesn’t do it like that now.

I agree, it's fun. I love parallel time stories.

I have the dvd box set with the autographed Jonathan Frid postcard in it. Before that, I had the original clam-shell case releases of the whole show. Great memories of watching when it was originally on and remembering the frenzy the whole country was in over it. I have a very specific memory of a specific day in my life, watching DS at my grandmothers' house on her black and white television and seeing the cliffhanger where Barnabas is about to open a door and unknowingly shoot a tied up Julia. I never knew for sure if it was a real memory till I saw it on the DVDs, and that was a nice revelation.
