thanks for the advice brian,once i get this thing set-up i think that i will make the switch over to dvd.everyone says the quality is much better.

happy holidays guys...i hope everyone had a nice christmas day.

i "hosted" this year.my gift from mom was a very nice dvd/vcr set-up(which i have thus far been unable to set-up).which brings me to this question.i've never owned a dvd player,just an old vcr.i have every episode of d.s. on video from ep.1 to the late 1968 eps.
should i stop buying tapes and switch over to the dvds?the machine plays vhs so i can still watch my older tapes but going foreward with the show should i just do a full-on switch to dvd?space aside(you can imagine what the tape pile up looks like)is it worth it?should i go back and re-buy all the earlier episodes i have on dvd(except for the pre-barnabas eps.,maddeningly not yet available on dvd)?
if so...what volume of dvd should be my first buy being that the last tapes i bought were o.s.v.66(just after ang and joe haskell first "meet")?

best wishes annie!

forbes' transformation from amiable fellow to deviant scoundral was swift and descisive.they played almost as two different characters.
but in this story,with barnabas' transformation,perhaps it was meant to show how one's character can change abruptly under extreme circumstances.

it was nice to get to see joel crothers play against type.joe haskell was so even-keeled(until a certain vampire/witch gets involved).
this question has come up before in relation to alexandra(who left the show just before joel)but if he had stayed with the show...might he have been cast in the 1897 story?and if so as whom?

thanks for the heads-up mysterious.i shant open holiday e-mails from anyone i don't know.

for this reason i block mail containing attachments but sometimes things get through.

as disappointed as i was about the new show's failure to get picked-up i did have one major casting reservation when the pilot was under production...i thought that marley shelton was too old(30) and too blonde to play victoria.

maybe she would have been good...we'll never know .

i'm not sure if this is already old news to everyone but while browsing the magazine rack at "border's" today(kls and her book club not in sight) i saw the january issue of "fangoria" magazine and it had a cover story on the ill-fated 2004 version of d.s..i never buy the mag($7.99!)but of course i bought this issue.
for those who haven't read it it's pretty interesting and has a few good pics..it's such a shame that we'll never see this show!
