Yes, the '91 series' pilot was 2 hours. The Shadows In The '90s: THE DARK SHADOWS CONCORDANCE 1991 contains a summary of all the scenes from the pilot script that were shot. Several of those scenes were restored in the MPI VHS release of the pilot, though not all (though at least one of the unrestored scenes appears on MPI's DS Resurrected - which is an absolute must for all fans of the '91 series). Also, a few scenes in the script were actually rearranged in the final edit of the pilot. For example (a spoiler follows which unfortunately won't be unable to be read by anyone except Midnite and I until spoilers are fixed) [spoiler]the scene in which Julia hypnotizes Daphne appears later in the pilot script, the scene where Barnabas meets Julia and Daphne collapses appears much later in the pilot script - it' the final scene (and personally I much prefer the scene in which Barnabas chases after Sarah as the ending), and the scene where David hides his father's painting in his desk and then takes Vicki to Roger's studio is scripted in the pilot but it didn't actually air until the 5th hour of the series. (But then, it wasn't the only scene that was scripted for one episode but ended up being edited into another.)[/spoiler]
Thanks so much for posting the link to the script because it will be very interesting to see which scenes from the script were never actually shot.
