I'm new to the forum, but I've been a fan of Dark Shadows for years. Although I've seen more of it in bits and pieces instead of seeing it from beginning to end.

I didn't get to see it on Scifi channel when it aired. I couldn't get my cable company to carry that channel.

Now that it is out on DVD maybe I'll get to see more of it the way it is suppose to be seen.

Hello,

I'm also a new member. I just started watching D.S. a couple of months ago, My mom always talked about the show when I was growing up, she was one of those kids who ran home from school. I watched the '91 series but never saw any of the original shows till now

I just started collecting the dvds and I'm working my way through them-I'm halfway through Collection 6. I've never seen the show before so its all new to me & its very addictive. I always think I'll end up watching one or two shows at a time, but end up watching a full disc's worth

I'm getting D.S. overload..for Christmas I got 2 of the books (D.S. Memories & the Millennium Almanac) and I got the Anniversary & Reunion Dvd's. And I picked up the 2 movies as well. I'm just loving the show so much that I just want to take in as much as I can.

Thanks for letting my join the forum and letting me share & learn even more...

Jason

Umm - if they're going to send any sort of fees to anyone, shouldn't it be to one of the two people who pays for all this insanity?  [b003]  (Though, of course, we both do this as a labor of love (we still do it for that reason - right?  [lghy]), so NO fees are necessary.  :))

I'm new to the forum. I started watching DS with my older sister when they started showing them on Sci-fi.  Don't get to watch anymore now the Sci-fi stopped showing them :'(

But I'm still hoping another channel may pick it back up again. Maybe like the Mystery Channel or something.

Welcome aboard JuliaHCollins from the #2 Grayson-a-holic on the Forum--(I am #2 right?? behind Gothik who is #1.  .and then is it a fight between Heather and J-C for #3?)

Oh yes--and my avatar is a young Grayson Hall about 20 years before she became Dr. Hoffman-- ;D

Arggggghhhhh...don't remind me...I need more dvd's... lol

Note to J-C... if by some miracle i make it to the fest - must have a DVD capturers anonymous meeting... my Mac was making flirty beeping noises for leaving the DVD in the computer one day...LOL.

Anyhoo - welcome to the spanking new members! May you be fruitful and multiply.   >:D

Yeah, I crack myself up...

Welcome, JuliaHCollins!  [wave]  Isn't it hard to believe that it's been off the air a full year?  <sigh>

It's wonderful to see DSFan008 posting, too.  :D

Hi,

  I'm a new member and a long-time fan of Dark Shadows.  I'm a second generation fan, and was introduced to the series when I was around 9 years-old.  My uncle, who had been a big fan of the show when it first aired, had gotten hold of some bootleg DS videos in the mid-80s.  He started showing them to me, and I became completely addicted (despite the nighmares) and have been ever since. 8)   I love the many plotlines and characters of the show, and really enjoy examining and speculating on the various aspects of the DS mythos.

 Penny Dreadful (aka Danielle)

I think most of us are hoping that.  :)

And by now you must have figured out that you're among what's probably the biggest vocal contingent around here - the Grayson Hall fans. So, you're certainly among friends and I hope you'll feel free to jump right in and obsess with the rest them.  :D

What a wonderful uncle you must have. And wonderful parents, too, to allow him to help raise you right.  [wink2]

Welcome to the forum! And I hope to see a lot more posts from you.  :)
