the kind of shirt described early in this thread reminds me of a SEINFELD episode entitled "THE PUFFY SHIRT" where kramer talks jerry into wearing that kind of a shirt on THE TODAY SHOW. he looked like a pirate in it.

well there was that 1 leviathan episode where the credits roled over some animatronic clown or something like a clown.

i live in los angeles and the black out was in nyc/nj. i think ur confusing me with joey trombello? yes there r photos of FRID/BOZO in one or more of the ds publications but i dont know how/or cant post a photo here with webtv. yes i remember THE GENERATION GAP! they showed a portion of this at a festeval a few years ago. but what was described here was not shown cause i think frid appeared as barnabas with the dry ice/graveyard effect at the end of the previous week. i think ds/barnabas was the subject of a question for the panels and they brought frid out after the question was answered and the host told the audience that frid would be on the panel next week. i loved it too and never forgot it! wish they would show it again somewhere.

i remember a portion of KATE JACKSON on BOB HOPES show quite vividly. it was during a stand up interview/joke session that he did with all or most of his guests. cant remember the jokes but i do remember BOB specifically pointed out that her 1st job on television was as a ghost on DARK SHADOWS. i think he was the only interviewer (at the time) to mention it. all other interviews i saw only mentioned her role on THE ROOKIES but not DARK SHADOWS.
BOB HOPES star on hollywood blvd is less than a block away from where i live and a wreath and tons of flowers, cards,etc adorn it. on the day he died, the press was all over the place with their live news vans etc just to get some footage of it.
i photographed BOB HOPE on the red carpet at the OSCARS many years ago and its on one of my websites along with many past and present stars.

someone mentioned OLIVIA deHAVILLAND would have made a great LIZ on DS. isnt JOAN FONTAINE her sister? didnt JOAN play a LIZ type character on a tv movie turkey called DARK MANSIONS?

Im starting to sell my vhs mpi tapes. the 1st one (volume#9) is listed on ebay as item #3337551584. my tapes have an added bonus! in between each episode i inserted a graphic that indicates the original episode#, the original airdate and the syndicated episode # that worldvision used in the mid 70s when they 1st reran the show from barnabas' arrival.

i ordered set 6 from amazon.com after they e-mailed me an offer to get it for $44.99. i usually dont send away for them and buy them from tower video but since i was still viewing set 5 i was in no hurry to get #6.i chose the free shipping. they e-mailed and said that my order would not be shipped till 6-29 yet it arrived on the 25th. just one day after it was released.

saw it last week. good special effects but a hard to follow/understand plot. i felt the same way about the 1st one. anyway the review is incorrect. they r not watching DARK SHADOWS. there is a scene where people r watching an old hammer horror film called BRIDES OF DRACULA.

the ds 25th anniversary is no longer available. it was taken away after frid got upset over 2 dramatic reaings that were added to it without his consent. i have many ds convention/event tapes available for sale. e-mail me ur snail mail address for a list. jtvideo@webtv.net
also have many photos from ds events on my website.
