I'm glad Dark Shadows made it on, though I question how good a list that includes Blood Ties (not a bad show, but not a particularly good one, either, IMHO) but not I Love Lucy or many other truly classic series. I do consider myself somewhat a Browncoat, but I don't think Firefly deserves to be called the best TV show ever made. However, I'm going off-topic. DS FTW.

150,000 votes and here's Barnabas to prove it.

I'm glad to get my votes in for DS and my other favorite shows. Granted, I find some of the top 40 a bit strange (where's Twin Peaks? My So-Called Life? Dead Like Me?  And especially classics like I Love Lucy?), but still, I'll be voting for DS as often as I get the chance to.   

Doing my best. Getting my votes in for DS (plus the Whedon shows, The X-Files, and NorEx) whenever possible.

Thank you so very much for informing me of that sketch's existence. I found it on YouTube and loved it. Shame that the only parody they included on the Gold Box Set was the SNL one. But we're beginning to go pretty far off-topic now.

I had another strange Dark Shadows dream once. It was a strange music video (and no, not the Caramelldansen video that my signature links to) that I want to make a reality soon. But mentioning the song would give far too much away. It was very strange, though...

My mother's joke about Barnabas and Angelique being included as playable characters in Super Smash Bros. Brawl also spawned a few interesting daydreams.

Merry birthday!

Yes, I'm sure that will hold up in court!

Indeed.

I recall reading about a fan novel for a TV series that someone was going to try to get published. All the author was going to do was give credit to the creators of the show; she wasn't going to give them anything remotely resembling royalties. Everyone on the board told her it could never happen, and she just kept ignoring them. 

Julianka7 does have a point. DS borrowed quite a bit from other stories, so *cough* giving back isn't too unreasonable.
