(ps...does this or other brother still watch?)
No, my oldest brother was never into Dark Shadows, and the one who was hasn't seen it since the original run of the show. He's a mortician, works 6 days a week, and always on call, has very little time for anything else. He does remember the show though, his favorite character was Julia Hoffman. He told me that when I spoke to him on the phone recently.
Thanks for the compliments Jennifer, David, and Cassandra! That's great that you watch Dark Shadows with your parents Cassandra. I watched it wih my Mom when I was little and I still do when she's at my house. My 7 year old daughter also watches it with us. So, it's a family affair at my house too. Today we watched it on Sci-Fi, and sometimes we put on the MPI Videos. I have all of them. I have the DVD's with Craig Slocum in them. I'm only pre-ordering those. I love to advance the pic manually in slow mo and really check him out. I don't miss a thing!
