Raspbernie Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 It was on after I got home from school and I remember watching it. I wasn’t addicted to it, but there was a lot of discussion in the playground about it. Not sure what grade that was, but when it first aired, I was nine. So, maybe a few years into its run.

James Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I remember early on when getting home from school, "The Secret Storm" and "The Edge of Night" were the mainstays on our tv set. Then I remember "Dark Shadows" getting into the mix at some point. I didn´t watch it really, but did see bits and pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Benfer Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I still hold out hope that someone will resurrect Dark Shadows and put a much darker spin on it than the Burton movie. I'd love to see it as a TV series once again on one of the streaming networks like Amazon, Netflix, etc. And if it is, this whole idea of the original tv series being "campy" must be forgotten. It wasn't really considered "campy" then. Because of the limited budget and special effects that they had back then, it didn't hold up well over time. And the original surely never had any comical inclinations as the Burton movie did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susie b Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I expected better from Tim Burton. He made DS into a farce. I agree with Craig. A serious interpretation of DS would be great. The mother of a childhood friend who lived down the street watched DS, so that's where I got to see it. It was kind of cool as their home was decorated in that heavy 1960's-1970's Mediterranean Revival style with dark, heavy & ornately carved furniture with the obligatory red velvet. My mom never watched a soap opera in her life. She was too busy being a scholar, so the soaps were never on our TV. My grandmother got me hooked on GH at her house.
