Current Talk '05 I / Re: DS Addiction

I have tried to get my husband and sons involved but to no avail. However, no one makes fun of me. My husband even reads MB's info on computers so maybe if MB slips DS stuff into his technical stuff we can reel him in that way.

Young Barnabas used it as a fashion statement but old Barnabas would use it for support but either way he will allways look classy.

I don't know that I would want to date any of them(too much baggage) However, someone needs to take poor Roger out and make sure he gets some. The man was married to Cassandra and got zilch, bupkiss. Did she ever even kiss him? I don't recall that Louis Edmonds got to smooch anyone.

Current Talk '05 I / Re: Maine Mansion Built in 1795

« on: April 12, 2005, 10:04:35 PM »

I loved the pictures of the Henry Knox Mansion. I try to decorate my house with vintage wallpaper and colored trim. I hope to see this house some time this summer. I would also like to see the house Arashi mentioned. If it is an Inn, they probably would have a brochure.
There is an Inn in Vermont called the 1811 House that was built in the 1770. When I stayed there in 1981, I had not seen Dark Shadows since I was a child but it reminded me of the "Old House". It is a classic colonial era home but very expensive to stay in. No children are allowed. The Inn is located in the village of Manchester, VT. I hope to go see the Inn that Arashi mention in Belfast, ME.

I remember going to the store to buy Easter dresses. We were poor so for my family this was upscale. I thought the childrens dresses were pretty.

If you recall, Arashi, it was a really big bat. We have had little bitty bats in our house cause an uproar and Barnabas didn't even notice a bat the size of an eagle following him?

I loved Louis Edmonds performances. Thayer David could play the intelligent, cultured Prof. Stokes to uneducated Ben Stokes. Every actor in the main cast had stellar moments. The chemistry between some of the actors was powerful enough at times to keep some of the implausible plots and ridiculous dialog from distracting from the performance.
I thinka fewbad actors ruined some of the overall tone of the show. Sharon Smythe was terrible in the role of Sarah Collins. The actor MB mentioned who played Sky Rumson, I had completely blocked out of my mind.(Someone actually hired him again?) Addison Powell was way too hammy but I have seen him in other films and he wasn't so bad. The first actor that played Willy Loomis(Low-mass) would have destroyed the role. Thank goodness he was replaced by John Karlin.
