The only thing(s) I can remember during original run were the opening credits/ocean waves crashing with the Gothic lettering (waiting for my big sister to get home); I was 3ish, so all I knew was that it was cool to watch (and, again, the opening was cool).
Then...I must have been home sick 1-2 days, because for all my growing up life, whenever the topic of DS would come up, I'd say, "Yeah, and the headless guy". No one ever knew what I was referring to, and for quite a while, I figured I had a "Faulty DS Memory"
but am quite glad that I knew!!
I really started watching full-fledged during '99; this was towards the beginning of 1795.
Which is really great; it explained 'Barnabas'; introduced
Angelique and
Ben.
It's been all the way baby since then!!!!
