Back in the day of the original airings, I had quite a crush on Alexandra Moltke. After she left the show, the crush fell on Kathryn Leigh Scott. Now as I'm watching DS reruns on dvd, and viewing the 1840 time period, I have a crush on 1971 Lee Beery (Joanna Mills). Too bad she's not in the show for long. Wonder whatever happened to her? I also wonder if my crushes have anything to do with the characters these actresses portrayed. Two governesses and um, well maybe it's some other trait.

So, if you had or do have a crush on someone from the show, who was it?

My Dell computer has Norton Antivirus 2000 installed in it.  The virus definitions haven't been updated since it was installed (I can't remember if I installed it or if it came that way). It's been recommended that I buy & install the Norton 2004 Antivirus version. I have read of problems with that version. Does anyone here who has the 04 version have troubles with it? Is there a antivirus system better than Norton?

A reference to the pre-Barnabas era of the show(episodes I'd love to have seen) in another thread made me want to ask this-  how did you find out about Dark Shadows and when did you first watch the show?

For me, I was told about the show by a classmate back in 6th grade. Most people in my class knew of my interest in all things monsters- horror movies, monster magazines, eerie posters, etc. I was quite surprised that I hadn't heard about a tv show with a vampire as one of it's main characters until one day during recess.

I arrived at the show during the 1795 storyline, around the time of the trial of Victoria Winters, sometime in March '68. I was immediately hooked (I kept asking that classmate for details about prior eps) and stuck with the show til the end. Well, there were eps I missed because of poor tv reception as well as missing parts of shows due to late school bus arrivals in the neighborhood.   

Thanks in advance for your replies.
