Wow, Jeremiah was either really short when he first appeared to Josette, or he was kneeling.
Have a horrid cold and although I got most of last week off, I also slept through DS :o So I missed the duel episode (again) I've got to buy these all on DVD!
Re : last weeks episodes
Now here's a question, when Nathan and Vicki heard someone come in the front door, why didn't they both just grab the food and jump out the window? They had plenty of time to do so without a hint of their being there.
I love how everyone is trying to make Barnabas see he should forgive Josette and Jeremiah. I mean for pity's sake! She ran off with his uncle (who was like a brother to him) and they were married on Barnabas and Josette's wedding night! It would take a LOT I think to forgive that.
I can see how people would really come to hate Angelique from this storyline (having never seen it myself....) I though have no pity for Josette either.
I feel very sorry for Naomi, being married to a man like Joshua would drive me to the bottle as well.
Poor Jeremiah, another victim of the Collinsport twelve-inch burial. I would not want to be anywhere *near* a cemetery when it rained!

LOL [scrm]! So true - and I would imagine those styrofoam tombstones wouldn't hold up too well either.

The ghost of Jeremiah was played by a differest actor. This would probably explain the change in height of the character. Timothy Gordon played the part of the ghost and not Anthony George. Gordon was probably shorter than KLS.

Dear Arashi,
I know that I'm dating myself by this, but when the ghost of Jeremiah starts to amble about Collinwood, I almost wish that the DS technicians played that "immortal' Three Dog Night song, "Joy To The World." I'm sure everyone remembers it: "Jeremiah was a bulldog, was a good friend of mine..."
Many years ago, I saw Three Dog Night in concert as a college student when, as El Gallo once intoned, "I was a young and callow fellow." (Do you know which off-Broadway show that line comes from. Hint: Try to remember.)
Sincerely,
Bob the Bartender
PS Sorry to hear about your cold. Why not try a hot toddy like Jeremiah and the rest of the Collins clan used to enjoy?
-
El Gallo?
I thought his name was Jerry Orbach?
(I guess I'm dating myself too, Bob!)

I think it is a roit that the gun shot went from the chest to the head. Someone mentioned this before. The only explanation I can think of was when they carried him back to the house they dropped him head first on to a rock. ;D

Spoiler.....
So they droped him head first on a rock. Is that why the eye is dangling from the socket? :o

Bob -- Don't you mean bullfrog? ;)

The Fantastiks, I believe it was. I was always rather keen on the Ed Ames recording of the song. Hey, there's one maybe Jim Storm should be playing on his geetar.

You are correct sir!
I was indeed The Fantastiks and Jeremiah was indeed a bullfrog! (sorry Bob)!
Damn you're good! I'll be more than happy to have you on my Trivial Pursuit team anytime!
Welcome Ghost of Jeremiah! He was the star of my nightmare's when I was 8 years old, quite young and not really callow. ;)
[shadow=teal,left,300]Always, Minja[/shadow]
PS: Arashi, I hope your feeling better. I just got over my bout with that bad flu that's going around and now my poor hubby has it!
-
Wow thanks everyone for the get well wishes.
To Mark : I could stop breathing but I think that has other side effects ;)
Mmmm... even though I don't drink, a hot toddy seems like a good idea about now.
Minja, I hope your husband is feeling better soon!
To : Vam, I didn't mean he's shorter than he appeared in previous episodes, it's just that during the green-screen effect they were too far away from him, so he ended up looking *really* small, and his hands were overlapping the bedsheets.
To Bob : Hey! I remember singing that song as a kid, I don't know why, but my sisters sang it a lot.
I'm sorry I missed the chest to the head bit, but I think I remember hearing about that before. And what *is* it with that eyeball?!?!

Made the comment prior to seeing the episode again...one of the small details of the show you don/t remember....However that face, unfortunately, you would not forget!

Bob, you'll know I'm dating myself, too, but this reminds me of a rather sophomoric prank that my eighth grade classmates tried to play on one of our teachers, an older nun. We convinced her that we wanted to sing "Joy to the World" at our upcoming graduation. At first she thought it a peculiar choice ("a Christmas carol ... in May?"). But then she agreed ... until she heard the Three Dog Night record.
But would you believe we actually got to sing these other tunes: "We've Only Just Begun," "Get Together," and "Turn, Turn, Turn." We were groovy, groovy, groovy, weren't we?
Ben ;D

I wonder if Angelique possibly couldn't raise the real Jeremiah and if this guy with the really bad bandage job (c'mon, would they bury him like that?) is someone else?
Hehehe

Don't underestimate her powers-she could probably raise Satan from hell!

Dear Mark, Minja and Ben,
Sorry, I must have been having a "senior" moment when I reflected back on those poignant and insightful lyrics of Chuck, Danny and Cory(?), a/k/a Three Dog Night.
You know, I wish that Dan Curtis had let Louis Edmonds (as Roger Collins) sing "Try To Remember" with Nancy Barrett (as Carolyn, of course) on piano in the drawing room of Collinwood (with Barnabas, Liz, Julia and Stokes as Roger's captive audience).
I can see Roger, with one hand supporting himself on the side of the piano, and the other hand holding a rather large snifter of brandy as he intoned the lyrics of El Gallo. It's a shame that Dark Shadows never made use of Mr. Edmonds' considerable vocal talents.
Now, please excuse while I groove to the sounds of "Momma Told Me Not To Come."
Bob the Bartender, who wishes Mr. R. Rooney would play Three Dog Night's tremendous version of "Easy To Be Hard" on the Blue Whale's jukebox.

Maybe Jeremiah was Catholic and he was attempting atonement in hope of avoiding purgetory?

A little O/T...
Bob -- it's interesting, your bringing up Three Dog Night in such a way. A coupla months ago, I pulled out me old guitar after several years of disuse, and promptly went on a binge of learning (and relearning) Three Dog Night songs, "Easy to Be Hard" first and foremost. They were my favorite group for years back in the early 70s. ;D

Mark,
Three Dog Night had a terrific drummer. I believe that his name is Floyd Sneed. (I have to check the linear notes on some of my old albums.)
Three Dog Night reunited several years ago to go on the oldie's circuit. However, I haven't heard anything about them recently.
Bob the Bartender, who wonders if Roger ever drove his son, David, into Portland to see the double bill of Three Dog Night and the Strawberry Alarm Clock. Imagine Roger grooving to "Celebrate, Celebrate, Dance To the Music."
-
Hey Mark & Bob,
I can visualize the Strawberry Alarm Clock thing happening, (David grooving to tomorrow, with Ed King providing one of those great fuzz guitar riffs), but have you ever noticed the Fillmore Posters which hang in David's room? They are both posters for two different Cream concerts which occured August '67. I have an original of one of the posters, (a psychedelic drawing of an Edgar Alan Poe looking character with a raven perched on his finger) & and a hand bill of the other.
It seemed someone on the set was groovin with the times!

After watching Lara Parker trying to shoo away ol' Jeremiah today, I couldn't help but envision her breaking into a variation of the Steve Lawrence/Donny Osmond classic, "Go Away, Little Ghost."

(who, if things work out, will be making his downtown Chicago piano bar debut later this spring, with a song list that will surely include "Try to Remember")
