Yes, I second the motion re thanking Dom, Midnite and MB for this place. It's loads of fun! Thank you...

And, Happy Birthday DS!

My pleasure.

Well, I went out and bought a filigreed pen - and then promptly threw it over the nearest cliff to commemorate one of DS' most "popular" storylines.

It was either that or burning down a local fishing shack and trying to lure innocent children into the flames - and I did that last year, so I didn't want to repeat myself.

MB, I'm coming to YOUR party next year.

All I did was fertilize the Wolfsbane plants in my "medicinal" garden.

PS: LOVE the red-eyed avatar.......

I bought a snazzy Orbach's suit, a diamond-accented medical bag and a new journal to write down all my thoughts...both naughty and nice.

Sipping a cup of apricot-brandy laced tea, I watched a few DS eps, hoping to inspire me to pick up my pen and write again... :-

I LOVE the montage, MB .

Although, it's too bad the only pic of Julia is when she's dealing with Barn. and Miss Boobie...I mean Roxanne (Barn, what are ya thinking?? Sigh). Sorry--I should add a few sedatives to my list too... LOL.

Thanks MB, Midnite and Dom...this is a great place to be.

p.s. MB--I love that Avatar too...spooky. LOL

Well, that's only because I tried to get in as many characters from each of the episodes as possible. But just for you, here's a shot of Julia from soon after she witnesses [spoiler]poor Will fall to his death and Angelexis accuses her of deliberately ruining everything.[/spoiler]

Happy birthday, Dark Shadows! Long may it live!

To celebrate, I'm going to sing "London Bridge is falling down" and "What do you do with a drunken sailor?".

Many thanks to you, Midnite, MB, and dom for being such wonderful moderators!

It wasn't only housewives who sat down to watch Dark Shadows but kids like myself (eleven in 1966).

To celebrate, I will watch a couple of my tapes. Also loved the montage. Thanks MB and Midnite for making this forum a fun place to visit.

Hello Prof Stokes!
I also am going to play "London Bridge" on my Flute this evening while watching a few episodes... was the drunken sailor tune Bill Malloy's theme?

Happy Dark Shadows Day/Night, Sarah! Yes, the "Drunken Sailor" chanty was Bill Malloy's favorite song, and he sang it when he first appeared to Victoria.

as i said i would, i watched episode 1 (and 2)tonight.i hadn't seen them for a long time.i forgot how cooly regal liz was.and how cool the exterior shots were.but as i watched vicki and carolyn and maggie in these eps. i found myself saddened.to see these beautiful young girls, full of hopes and dreams for themselves, and to know that they basically become nothing but put-upon victims for whatever monster-of-the-week the show's writer's threw out there later in the show's run, i found it sad.
