Thank you so much for giving us this tid bit.  Julia 'has the hots' for Barnabas.....I almost fell off the chair, laughing, uncontrollable.  I started watching it when I was ten years old.   Barnabas, I've loved him ever since and I'm under his spell.

Thanks

The article made some good points, but something bugged me as I was skimming it quickly last night, and it wasn't until I got home that I was able to put my finger on it.

It was the breathless (giggle, giggle!) tone that narrowed the show's interest to baby-boom teeny boppers.

As someone else mentioned, the show's audience was -- and remains  --  far more expansive than that.

What a pity.  I doubt that the article will recruit any new viewers.

When is someone going to write (and when will someone accept for publication) an intelligent commentary on some of the themes, the innovative use of classical literature, etc.?
