OK - I can live with Buffy and Angel being higher than DS because they often explored much larger themes than DS did - and they did it to perfection. And I love True Blood and Being Human, and they're current, and BH is huge in England, and TB is, well, just huge, so I can live with that too. But Dracula: The Series?!  [ghost_shocked]  Are the compilers of this list on crack?! That's just whack!!  [ghost_mad]

(I am very glad to see The Vampire Diaries just below DS, though.  [ghost_smiley])

Good points MB. I vaguely remember Dracula: The Series perhaps because of the fact that it lasted only one year. I don't understand the logic either to place Dracula over DS. Crack it must be.

Yay, Moonlight is on the list!  OK, I would take out Dracula: The Series, move DS up to at least #5 but more likely higher (like #1), and insert Forever Knight right below it.  How can Forever Knight not be on this list?  Argh!

I think it has something to do with ordering on Netflix, something like that.  Maybe the guys watching ghe show through Netflix can move DS up.

That's because it kept getting shafted! I commented on someone's opinion that the DS revival was disappointing. That just really bugs me. Original fans need to be a bit more open-minded.

True. I didn't mean to get this off topic though regarding the Revival. Thankfully MB and Midnite are very open minded and a lot of people on this board.   I thought this list was pretty good and of course I was fine with Buffy and Angel being high up!

It went off the air 40 years ago.  .i think any mention is pretty darn laudable given the American short attention-itis.

Though they do also include the '91 revival series, so that ended close to 19 years ago - though still a long time ago given the American short attention-itis.  [ghost_wink]  But even at that the revival isn't the oldest show on the list because there's one from '90 (whose name I refuse to type again).
