Dark Shadows shut out by EW
« on: August 18, 2012, 06:19:07 PM »
EW has listed the top 26 best cult TV shows ever. They must really hate our show. http://www.ew.com/ew/gallery/0,,20620965,00.html

The magazine has included DS on a few of its lists through the years - but for some strange reason when it comes to the Web site, they only seem to include primetime/syndicated shows. Apparently to them daytime shows, particularly soaps, are unworthy.  [ghost_sad]

In this case, it looks like they were not going back beyond th 80s.  The original Star Trek did not make the list, but TNG did.  Same scenario with Doctor Who and Galactica.

And there's that too. And of course, the majority of the people who are likely to be frequent visitors to the Web site are also likely to think anything prior to the '80s is ancient times.  [ghost_huh]

I had the paper copy of the magazine, and they actually stated that the list consisted of the best cult shows from the past 25 years only.

Thanks cousin Bette for that clarification. The website should reference that  critical information.
