I don't recall if there has ever been any mention here of a show called "Strange Paradise." I had never heard of it. Every week in the local newspaper there is a Q and A column with our TV critic answering questions about shows, etc. Today, there was this one:
Q: I seem to remember a supernatural serial that ran concurrently with “Dark Shadows” in the late ’60s named “Strange Paradise.” Do you know about this series or if it might be available on DVD?
A: “Strange Paradise” was a syndicated, daytime drama in 1969-70 and sold to stations as a companion to the ABC series “Dark Shadows” (1966-71). The book “Total Television” directly calls it “an imitation of ‘Dark Shadows,’” with storylines about “voodoo, communication with spirits and family curses.” While I do not know of an authorized release on DVD, I did find many episodes on YouTube.
