Ravenswood, a new, spooky prime time soap, will debut tonight (10/22) on ABC Family.
The producers cite DS as an influence and named one of the characters Collins--they specified in interviews that this is a nod to Barnabas!
Should be fun!

I've been seeing a lot of articles written about this show and reviews where the headlines seem to like it. I haven't read any of them, but I have been wondering if I should check the show out. And now that I see that it's a bit inspired by DS, I definitely will. Thanks for the post, David. [hall2_smiley]

I just checked this out:
'Ravenswood' premiere clip: 'You never know what will happen in Ravenswood' (http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2013/10/ravenswood-premiere-clip-you-never-know-what-will-happen-in-ravenswood.html)
Definitely looks like it has potential.
And doesn't the word Ravenswood already have at least one partial connection to DS? Didn't Dan "Marilyn" Ross write a novel entitled Mistress of Ravenswood, or some such?
-
Why yes, Dan did!
Now if only we can get these DS fans who do DS-like series to do DS!
-
Thanx for providing a link to a trailer, MB.

So did anyone else watch it?
Creepy!
At first I was confused, because the show and storyline is continued from Pretty Little Liars, which I never watched, but it all began to come together quickly.
Steven Cabral, as the Collins character, is an undertaker who looks like a corpse! I could see him playing Barnabas!
Now I want to get the Pretty Little Liars DVDs!

I don't know if anyone is watching this show - and if you started to but gave up, I can understand because it wasn't all that exciting. Not bad, but not great either. But I decided to give it one more week, and I'm glad I did because I just finished watching the third ep and it really kicked things way up. There may really be hope for the show after all.

I'm digging it!

November sweeps: 'Ravenswood' (http://www.zap2it.com/news/pictures/zap-new-girl-parenthood-and-more-november-sweeps-best-worst-20131115,0,5089135.photogallery?index=35)

Last night's midseason finale certainly threw some curveballs - enough so that I'm definitely intrigued enough to tune back in when the show returns in January.
-
Actually, I've been so busy that I never did get the chance to tune back in when the show returned. And now comes this:
'Ravenswood' canceled by ABC Family (http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2014/02/ravenswood-canceled-by-abc-family.html)
So, apparently it was for the best that I didn't get attached to the show...
