I take it that these songs aren't subject to the copyright law, which has cause several TV shows to changes songs for their DVD release, or is it just the original version of the song that law applies to?

I mean no disrespect whatsoever to the above posters, but these werent the responses I was expecting.

I was thinking about the actors returning to DS during the 1967 NABET strike after Dan Curtis asked them to, as he was afraid the show would be canceled if they couldn't produce more episodes after a certain time.

We know Robert Gerringer (Dr. Woodard) & Daniel Keyes (the caretaker) had their roles recast.  What if one or two other cast members also decided not to cross the picket line.  I refer to main cast members like  Nancy Barrett, Louis Edmunds, etc..

DC would never fire Jonathan Frid as he was the star and the center of the show and I doubt he would fire Joan Bennett.  Would he have done the recasting to other characters if that actor/actress didn't cross the picket line?

When Liz had her fear of being buried alive, she and Roger were in the cemetary by the grave of a
"Jonas Collins", whose birth year is given as 1841 I think and year of death is in the 1860's or 1870's.

And speaking of the Civil War, isn't there a tombstone in the Eagle Hill Cemetery that shows a Collins who died in 1863?  A Civil War death?  I remember making a note of it (I love collecting bits and pieces of trivia for my fan fiction) but I can't remember if the tombstone said Thaddeus or not.  It's on my other computer which is apparently running in parallel time and I haven't been able to pinpoint when it phases into this time band to check my notes.

Back to the Future has a similar type pf time travel ending as 1840 did.  When Marty returns to the present time, everything has changed but he remembers the original timeline, yet there was a "changed" Marty that everyone was seeing up to that point.

This never occured to me before about Barnabas' 1969 self sent to the chained coffin in 1897 (& probably frozen like in the present).  I know that after this takes place, we never see the mausoleum again in 1897. 

I always wondered what happened to his present time body after its diappearance, but it going into the 1897 chained coffin works.  Off camera, Angelique could have managed to right the souls with the bodies & the medication she gave to Barnabas was for his physical well being after the body switiching.

Someone please create a justification for the idea that when Barnabas's real body disappears from 1969 while in the I Ching trance, that body materializes inside the coffin in 1897, and when he leaves 1897, his over-written 1897 soul pops back into the body that's now in the coffin.   Or something.

One infamous fan is former NY club kid Michael Alig (who had his story told in a movie called "Party Monster") who is in jail for murder.  When the police found him with his van, it was full of DS videotapes and was mentioned in the papers at the time.

Too bad they didn't stay somewhat close to Art Wallace's original intention to have Bill Malloy as a permanent character.
It would have been great to see him help Liz fight Jason.

I love the outdoor scenes in the first year.  At least they could have kept the color establishing shots of Collinwood as they still used the waves footage inserted in the video from time to time.
