My sister's girlfriends were watching it in the living room and I happened by. My earliest memory is a shot of Laura's eyes filling the screen - you know, when she's looking into the fireplace. My next chance viewing was the episode when Vicki is trying to save David from burning with Laura at the fishing shack. I was 9 and couldn't look away, I'd never seen anything so dramatic. I do remember one flash of the werewolf Chris Jennings and being somewhat frightened. My final chance encounter came during a weekend stay at a babysitter's house - my father farmed me out to a coworker for the weekend. Her daughter was an avid fan and she asked/told me about the show. I knew of it but wasn't watching, but she put the bug in my ear and I started watching regularly, during the Petofi period. I was all gung ho from that point on - daily viewing, the teen mags, the MR books, games, post cards, etc. Stayed loyal into 1840 but dropped it at some point. When the show ended I hadn't a clue of who anyone was.
