My best friend knows I watch it but that's about it. Dark Shadows has been mentioned in passing & everyone remembers it fondly but they don't have a desire to rewatch it. To them its just a pleasant childhood memory. I've taped it from the sci/fi channel & now I'm buying the DVDs.
I haven't watched it lately so I'm looking forward to doing that. Plus, I like to paint while I'm listening to it in the background. For a long time I couldn't paint unless DS was on.
And I can remember the religious zealots making a fuss over it. In fact, I think DS was pulled before it ended because of the controversary. So I was delighted to find the tapes at the video store. I watched the series 5 times and there at the end the workers at the video store would comment on my watching it so often. Now I have my own copy and don't have to deal with their petty remarks.
