I had taken a photo from our room's window of the buildings across the street, and I used it to orient myself at Ground Zero, to try to place where the Marriott was.
As we all are well aware, according to DC, the ratings SOARED after he was introduced.

Though many articles certainly give that impression (along with many other erroneous impressions ), it may not be entirely true. The truth was that ABC gave DS an alotted amount of time (I believe it was 26 weeks) to improve its ratings or be canceled. However, the ratings began to climb slowly once the supernatural stuff really began to be incorporated into the show - they climbed even higher during the Laura storyline - and, of course, they climbed still further once Barnabas was introduced. We'll probably never know if ABC would have considered the pre-Barnabas rise strong enough for the show to have avoided cancellation because the alotted time for improvement ran into Barnabas' introduction, but there had been definite improvement before him. It's also interesting to note that the increased viewership of early-Barnabas over the non-supernatural DS was only a million viewers (10 million vs. 9 million) and was still far short of what viewership would be even a year later (16 million)...

It's a common misconception that Curtis preserved the DS episodes, but that's not actually true. Curtis has never owned them. ABC did and then ownership was transferred to Worldvision. ABC is who should be thanked for preserving them. However, we can thank Curtis for filing suit against ABC because, even though he didn't win, the result finally got the episodes released into syndication. A couple years ago I shared an article about the suit that appeared in Variety in 1975:'Dark Shadows' Prompts Suit Against ABC And Worldvision

I don't know what to tell you because the page has been coming up fine for me.

I hope I got that all correct.
Apologies if this is getting a little too far off topic.
Congrats Patti V for making it to the hallowed grounds atop Widows hill ! But alas, the Sox got there and before you and have fallen, and cant get up. Maybe they can "bounce" back up next year.
(The main reason why I bothered to camp out in the auditorium to make sure I didn't miss it--they schedule was running about an hour behind at that point.)
...even though all these years later I know how small movie and TV sets really are - I can somehowl manage to bypass that information and see Collinwood as the massive...
I did not see where anyone said anything against any fans on this thread...
