I absolutely loved Mrs. Johnson berating her son when Vicki screamed.  "What did you do to her?"  Now does that bring back memories or what?  When I was in grade school back then, and the nuns slapped us, we did not dare go home and tell our parents, especially our mothers.  They would have the same reaction as Mrs. J:  "Well, what did you do that Sister had to slap you?"  Our mothers would then give us the business about embarrassing them, making them appear as bad mothers, and then THEY would slap us.  Today, if a teacher dared to slap a kid, even if the kid was burning down the school, the parents would do some slapping:  they'd slap the teacher, the school, the school district and the entire Department of Education with a lawsuit.

Most definitely the ghost of Quentin (although I'm not too thrilled with the werewolf sub-plot, but it's enjoyable).  For me, the Adam storyline was my least favorite.  Most do not take a fancy to the Leviathan plot, but I just could not appreciate Adam and Eve; if I watch this story on videotape there are many sections through which I fast-forward.

Is is just me, or does anyone else think  that "Cassandra" (and we all know who she really is) with that wig looks like Sarina, Samantha Stevens' identical cousin?  Well, when Clarice Blackburn tosses her wig and exposes her natural red hair, she can be passed off as Endora, at least from a distance.

It's because it's the Sixth of May.  It only comes once a year.

I wonder if Barnabas got cookies from Kresge's like my Dad did.  It was a Saturday night tradition for him to bring home the cookies on special.  I also remember buying those little turtles and the plastic bowl with the palm tree there.  What fun having turtle races in our little kids pool in the back yard.  

He did look much bette in the "new" jammies and robe.  Though most people take the robe off when getting into bed.  At least he took his slippers off.  Something they sometimes forget to do in DS world.

Birdie--wish I had one of those cookies now. Yum

We use to get those turtles, too, Birdie - plastic dish with palm tree and all.  My mom hated them because she said they always stunk.  I remember changing their water, cleaning the bowl, and feeding them that turtle food shook out of that container.  And despite all the care we gave them, they always croaked fairly early in their little, sheltered lives.

In an interview given some time after DS left the air, Joan Bennett admitted that it was to be eventually revealed that her character Elizabeth was, indeed, Vicki's mother.  Of course, Alexandra Moltke left the series (and her two replacements didn't work out), so the story was never developed.

I'm sorry, it just seems so weird with Barnabas laying in that hospital bed in him jam-jams.  It didn't bother me when he wore his eighteenth century retirement attire, but just seeing him in those Kresge's clearance table specials was just - well - I don't know.  (At least they're better than one of those hospital gowns which allow everyone to see your business when you bend over.)  It makes me ponder - did he ever wear jammies when he retired to his casket?  Can anyone imagine him heading down those cellar steps, bushy bedroom slippers on his feet, winding an alarm clock and setting it next to the coffin before he closed the lid?

I know there are a number of people who post here that are unhappy about the apparently unlikely possibility that DS will ever be "recreated" by FOX or the SciFi channel.....

I was just wondering, am I the only DS fan who HATES the idea of attempting to re-create the series?  I've never understood the urge to RE-MAKE something that was already done once.  

I've never seen a movie re-make that I honestly thought was better than the original, and I tend to assume that people who do re-makes are lacking in sufficient creativity to do something original themselves.

It always seems to be about the money someone thinks it might generate. And in this case it was tried once and failed....why would someone try again?  

But that's just me, wondering.

I think a "next generation" would be far better, possibly even seeing if some of the original performs will reprise their roles.
