If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding today's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...
[spoiler]Today's quote:
DS 1991 Ep #1 (-1966: Ep #124) - Mrs. Johnson - 'All I can say is Barnabas Collins MUST be a wonderful man.'
From
SHADOWS IN THE '90s: The Dark Shadows Concordance 1991 - PLOT SUMMARIES - MINISERIES PART ONE (EPISODE ONE):
KITCHEN: A dismayed Mrs. Johnson watches as the Sheriff questions Willie: Where did he go after he dropped off Miss Winters? Willie protests he went back to the stables and got drunk. Patterson asks, why is he nervous? Where has he been for the last three days? Willie claims he was 'working'. Neither the Sheriff nor Roger believe him, but Victoria comes to his defense. Patterson asks Willie where he was working. Willie, by this time, has dissolved into tears, protesting he "doesn't feel too good". Barnabas arrives and is introduced. Barnabas confirms Willie's story - he heard in town that Willie knew the property and was available for work. He apologizes if he's caused any problem. Roger comments it would have been nice if they'd been told. Willie apologizes to all: he knows he hasn't been a good worker; he knew Roger was about to fire him, and that's why he took this job. Roger warns Barnabas, ''You don't know what you're taking on." Barnabas, "I somehow feel Willie wants to make a true start - don't you, Willie?" Willie agrees. Mrs. Johnson is pleased by this turn of events. Barnabas, warningly to Willie, ''We have much work to do." Patterson agrees that Willie can go with Barnabas. As they're leaving, Barnabas announces they're making splendid progress. He's already moved in. He invites them all to visit. He takes his leave. Mrs. Johnson admiringly, "Barnabas Collins must be a wonderful man."

And the summary references quite well almost all of what Mrs. Johnson says...
Though I don't know why the summary says: Barnabas, "I somehow feel Willie wants to make a true start" when what Barnabas actually says is, "But I somehow feel that Willie truly wants to make a new start."
And similar to hoDS and NoDS, I used a screen capture that's the same dimensions as the ones from the original series. In this case one from the from the TGG Direct DVD release -
- because even though that release also doesn't have the correct color timing like the VHS release does -
- also like the VHS release, it has the correct aspect ratio, plus it even tends to show a bit more of the frame and it's clearer than the VHS.
I definitely wasn't going to go with the MGM DVD release. Even though, like the TGG Direct release it's clearer than the VHS, frustratingly, the aspect ratio is cropped from 4X3 to 16X9 -
And Ep #124 now joins Eps #1 and #659 as ones without any "must" lines - and another will show up very shortly.
