david selby was probably confused about the use of quentins theme. it was not used earlier in DARK SHADOWS but it was used in 1 of dan curtis earlier productions. i think jeckyl and hyde. terry crawford told that widows hill story at a festival and this time she added "they had to shoot that over again" i also believe that some of these memories are things that took place during rehearsals and they are remembering them as taking place during the taping.

when i worked at a cbs tv station in 1979, we recorded "LOVE OF LIFE" on our own 2" videotape machine while it was shown on the network at i think 4pm. however, the staion i was working for was broadcasting the syndicated "MERV GRIFFIN SHOW" at 4pm. we would show "LOVE OF LIFE" at 9am the following morning or we showed the friday episode on monday morning. i dont think the station was doing this since the beginning of "LOVE OF LIFE" so somewhere along the line an episode got shown twice but i was there for the final broadcast which was broadcast by our station on the monday following the final episode broadcast on friday by cbs. so the doctor and k9 is probably right about the station maintaining their schedule because at 1st they were probably rebroadcasting "DARK SHADOWS" via kinescope a week later because of the time it took to ship the kinescopes to the station. then at some point the station got its own 2" tape machine or they were forced to get one after learning there were no more kinescopes being made or sent out anymore. so then i guess in early 71, they recorded the shows themselves and re broadcast them at a later time. in philadelphia, "EDGE OF NIGHT" was not shown on the abc station at 4pm, they also showed "MERV" at that time. "EDGE" was shown on an independent UHF station on a 1 day delay. the same ABC station in philly did not even show "DARK SHADOWS" pre barnabas episodes. they were also shown on an independent UHF station untill the show became more popular or barnabas came on, im not sure exactly where the switch occured. also not sure if they showed it on a delay because i think i saw an old tv guide that listed the 1st episode being shown on monday june 27th, 1966. if that is true then they probably just had permission to broadcast abc signal while abc was broadcasting it.

 but the time was missing. conan is on at 12:35am

this issue has been discussed here years ago during the sci-fi broadcast or during the mpi vhs releases. someone gave a good explanation which i cant remember in detail enuf to re post it. but reusing old videotapes and the audio from the previous recording not being fully erased or the audio bleed through is most likely to be what your hearing.

another reason to hang on to vhs is the incompatibility with homemade dvds. they may play back fine on ur machine but if u give it to someone else, it may not play at all or sometimes they play for an hour and then the picture freezes,the dvds shuts off or goes back to the menu. also if u use a dvd rw disc u also can only play it back on the machine it was made on. if u want to lend it to someone else u have to finalize it. if u do that then u cant record over it again later. you can donate your old vhs tapes to a goodwill store. goodwill stores are also a great place to purchase an old vcr if u need one. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JONATHAN!

well thanks for clearing it up but i hope it was pointed out that it only looked like her in the 1 shot and not the whole commercial. also if this was not the ad, then what happened to the commercial that she did do that she talked about several times at the festival and i wonder when that will be shown.

i think if u consider professional make up and professional lighting and the wig, i think it could easily be her. the smiles look identical.
