No kidding. Another DS blooper.

Hey, I saw the actor that played Gladstone on Peter Gunn today.

What a stupid, gullible landlord and all around jerk. Loser. And he's inherited Joe Haskell's shirt.

That has got to be the phoniest mustache (on Yaeger) I have ever seen!

Hooray, Evil Tim Stokes!!   Now the storyline is up and running!  He's drinking from the first second we lay eyes on him, and he can't even put the drink down long enough to pick up the phone!   

He can't seem to put his Lucky Strikes down either. Ah, filter-less cigarettes...

So where did Quentin go off to that he became so disheveled? And that frock coat is a lousy fit on him in the shoulders, wardrobe people.

Stokes looks like he walked right out of a Depression era picture with that slovenly coat and mangy scarf and hat. Good stuff. I like it.

Sabrina - you stink. If I saw my fiance turn into another man, I would be freakin' out.

Wait a minute. I've got it. I know what Quentin reminds me of in that hideous sports(?) jacket - a test pattern!

Why is it that every deranged loony lusts after Maggie?

One would think that a family as wealthy as the Collins' would have a very expensive chess set and not a Milton Bradley game board with plastic pieces. Anyone who cherishes chess would have a nice set of knights and all them other guys. I have played chess in my time with granite, carved stone, and crummy plastic. It's much more fun playing with expensive, breakable stuff. Heh, heh... Nice scene between Ang and Barn though.

All right. Who's out there laughing that I know how to play chess?

At long last, they have a nice piece of artwork over the mantle. IMHO anyway.

The flower arrangement stinks. It's a nice bit of height with the gladiolas, but the accompanying flowers do not click.

Grayson Hall. Ah, Grayson Hall. She is splendid as Hoffman and I am wondering how much she liked the role. Did she get up in the morning, have some scones and apricot jam with her coffee and look forward to going to work to play this diabolical part? My guess is yes. She's just so damned good here.

Jonathan Frid is no slouch, either. I am always looking forward to what mischeif he is up to next. And as Barnabas, he gets what's going on. He just does. Fun to watch, as always.

Wicked cool info. And in the words of Warner Oland, "Thank you so much".

Yes, oh holy one, the Hitchcock flick is the one I'm talking about. Weren't you lucky to have seen it on the big screen? Zowee!

Perhaps it's best to establish here what a kinescope is.   I think a kinescope consists of someone simply pointing a camera at a television or TV monitor, and recording.   Therefore, anything broadcast is what is on the kinescope.   Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

A kinescope is the process of filming a TV show onto16mm film from a video moniter. I believe the reason they did this was to be able to air a program taped in New York at 4:00 PM and show it at 1:00 PM in California. Or 2:00 PM or whatever the time zone demanded. This process has allowed many old time TV shows to have been saved. It's on film, baby!

What is with this fascination with the announcer guy? Does anyone even know who he was???
IMHO, the announcer was a local New York guy who announced upcoming programming or what not. Who knows why his voice is heard on some episodes and not others? I'm guessing it has to do with whoever put the DS tapes together in the first place. I mean, lookit. Why do some episodes run all the credits and others don't? Some episodes I can run out in the kitchen and make a cheese sandwich waiting for the credits to run. Other episodes simply end with, "This has been a Dan Curtis production" and I am glued to my seat waiting for the next episode to begin.

Ah, the costume ball's just been mentioned; "Rebecca" has just resumed.

No kidding. Have you seen the movie? [spoiler]Quentin is Maxim, hence his sour attitude towards everything that reminds him of his wife. I hadn't seen Rebecca until I was well into my thirties. Lord knows if it ever played on the late show during the sixties. But obviously, Dan Curtis saw it and used it here. Grayson Hall plays a mean Danny![/spoiler]

But anyway, didn't Cyrus get into that safe mighty quick? As I remember, (from high school, and yes, it's been many years), combination locks were quite temperamental.

It is my opinion that PT Roger is worse than RT Roger, even in the beginning. Jeez, what a nasty sort!

The Seventh Level of Witchcraft.  It's title that definitely attracts attention - seven's such a good number - but are there books on the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth levels of witchcraft?

I was thinking the same thing. What are the first six levels of witchcraft? Beginner's level, maybe. Or it could be like 7-UP. The first six stunk and they hit it on number seven.

Does Cyrus chronically go after friends' wives, or just Quentin's?    We see the various characters' self-hatred and deep yearnings come out in this episode. ...

Barnabas, Quentin, and Cyrus are all interested in Maggie now, with the possible exception of Quentin.

Throughout motion picture history scientists have been portrayed as scatterbrained. And Chris Pennock excels in it. But perhaps the potion has affected Cyrus in such a way that he lusts for Maggie, even though he is engaged to Sabrina.

...he realized he was wearing too much mascara and his eyes were stuck shut.
