« on: January 19, 2005, 02:43:12 AM »Going way off topic here tomorrow's NY Times reviews Point Pleasant and the author states, "Point Pleasant has none of the wit of "Dark Shadows" or Buffy".
Actually, I was going to post a topic about the Point Pleasant reviews tomorrow (the show's premiere date) because invariably every one of them has referenced DS. How DS factors into the equation, though, depends entirely on what they thought of PP. The reviews that like the show (which seem to be few and far between) have said that DS fans might like PP. On the other hand, the reviews that have disliked the show have said that it's no DS.
I'm not quite sure when DS became the Gothic series touchstone to measure every other against. Certainly DS' detractors would be shocked by such a development. But who are we to question it?
