Anybody else watches the color episodes of DS with the TV set on black and white? I know it seems pointless, but it looks clearer, and far more scarier in BW, imo. Quentin's meltdown from yesterday looked so spooky....

I was too lazy to change the channel a while ago, so I was watching "The King of Queens" on CBS. In one scene, one of the supporting characters said that her husband was going to miss the Dark Shadows Convention to spend their anniversary with her. The other character didn't know what DS was so the wife explained. She said that it was "kinda like a soap opera from long ago that had vampires and stuff." Later on, the other character said something about the husband and the other "dorks" at the convention. Boy was I mad!!!!!!!! Then in the next scene the husband was with his friends and he was complaining about missing the convention. He said that "Dark Shadows is NOT Star Trek, it doesn't have a convention every week." He said that he would have to wait three years for the next one. Then he said that he wasted $70 on a Barnabas Collins costume that he'll never use. I thought it was pretty cool that DS was mentioned on a current sitcom that many people watch. Maybe it will help boost some ratings.

Anyone else loved how Victor Fenn-Gibbon (aka Count Petofi) slapped Aristede for not having the hand? He slapped him three times! This brings me into another question. For traditional soaps, daytime and primetime, slaps are something that occur every week. On DS, did they slap alot? Forigve me for asking because I've only seen the episodes starting right before 1795 up to now.

What about the lost scene when Julia and Barnabas were both drunk at the old house...

Barnabas: Julia, let me find your neck so I can bite it.
Julia: You know just how to turn someone on!
Barnabas: Let me love ya, girl!
Julia: Barnabas, boy you is scaring me!
Barnabas: Let's be sweet between the sheets, honey cheeks.
*Julia runs and locks to door, peeking out to see if anyone is coming up the path*
Barnabas: No, let's do it downstairs on the coffin.
Julia: Damn, you are creative.
*Julia pops a sedative as they go downstairs*
Barnabas: Up on the coffin, you cheap tramp.
*Julia pops another sedative*

you people are terrible! It has gotta be hard to replace such an important person in a show. And, Betsy Durkin looked like she was eating rice and tofu (not ding dong's or whatever). She didn't have flabby arms or anything. I feel bad for her, for what she's probably have had to go through, because of cruel fans. And I don't know why you are making a big deal about her. She's only in 10 episodes.

Anyway, bad cast changing is terrible. On "All My Children," they replaced a short blonde actor with a tall brunette. A dark, round faced man with a light, long headed dude.

Here ya go:

Before he leaves Collinsport, he goes to Widow's Hill and he sees Josette's dead body lying on the rocks. He touches her hair, and she comes back to life. They leave town, and get married. Before they leave, Adam pays a visit to Liz and tells her about his new found love. Liz offers to buy a house in a Los Angelos cul-de-sac for them, and they jump at the chance. When they get there, Adam starts to drink and a LOT of bad things happen to Josette. Angelique moves into town under the name "Angie" and starts to sleep with everyone, including Adam. Adam and Josette divorce. Josette gives birth to Adam's twins, but they get lost. They finally find the twins, and Adam and Josette get back together.........now where have I heard that before?:-p

That was sure brilliance! I laughed every time I read a line! Perfect Perfect Perfect!!!! PLEASE write some more!!!!

Maggie's song for Vicki

They call me a governess
And I'm riding the traaain to Collinwood
I got a vampire, a pheonix, a hair grabber and a witch
Riding the traaain to Collinwood


Yeah, and Barnabas/George would come home and get his butt donut, while Cathy/Carolyn would work in a massage parlor. Now I'm getting images. I have Professer Stokes/Charlie and Maggie/Loretta trying to make a baby.......sweet Jesus........
