While trying to track down the stuff from the DS Vampire Club, I came across an old issue of Young Catholic Messenger (which was a magazine we used to get back when I was going to Catholic grammar school) from February 16, 1968 (back when DS was airing the original 1795/96 storyline) and I wondered what the hell it was doing packed away with DS stuff. Well, I wondered no longer when I came to Page 10 and discovered this and thought I'd share:

And here are the results of the voting:

One thing that I find horrifying in those results is that Family Affair, OMG, FAMILY AFFAIR beat out DS!! My only guess is that many of the voters' parents thought that show was much better for their kids than watching the "depraved" goings-on of the Collins family might be. ::) And, well, after all, these results were published in a Catholic publication. ;)
And it's very interesting that I Dream of Jeannie is nowhere to be found in the results because that was a very popular show in the ratings in '68 - much more popular than several of the other shows on the list. But then, perhaps the same parents who miight have thought the Collins family were depraved might have thought that it was scandalous that Jeannie and Major Nelson lived together "in sin." [wink2]
It's also interesting to consider the fact that many of the shows on the list have cult followings to this day. So, I suppose it's time for us all to admit and accept that we're definitely a generation that's obsessive when it comes to the shows we enjoyed when we were young. [santa_wink] Not that there's anything wrong with admitting or accepting that. [santa_cheesy]
