I always felt that one of the things that made Dark Shadows unique, the stories set in different time periods, eventually brought about its downfall. During the final year, there were five different settings (as well as one day visits to 1692 and 1680PT) and that had to be confusing to casual viewers who only watched once or twice a week. Hardcore viewers would watch no matter what but casual viewers help keep shows on the air.
There was certainly a lot of story potential left in DS but apparently they weren't stories that DC was interested in telling. Perhaps if he had let the writers actually write......
