Thank everyone for all the nice invites.  This board seems cool.  I have nothing against fandom but haven't been active in it for a while.  I have heard some things are political in fandom and at the fest's but I don't know if it's just hearsay.  I was just saying the same thing Brandon said.  I was telling my bro I thought since DC had passed...a new show may go....Who knows?  I would love it!

A new DS would bring new viewers to the original and keep the franchise going for years to come, which would be a good thing.

But it is time to move forward, as the audio dramas are doing.
Perhaps a next generation of the Collins family could include flashbacks not only to time periods not previously covered, but also to 1840 and the 1960s to tie up
loose ends from the original.
Characters would have to be recast for any such flashbacks, but I'm OK with that.

I'm very happy that the audio tapes are now available!  Having some of the original cast do the characters they did on the series is a special gift to the DS fans.  It's good to know the stories are continuing in modern day and not rehashing old stories.  I believe the stories are written by a few DS fans, right?

To answer your question, Jackie, yes and no. Or should it be yes? Well, you decide.

The first CD, "The House of Dispair" was written by Stuart Manning, who runs the www.collinwood.net website (which is awesome btw), and if I remember correctly has been a fan for about 10 years or so? Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong there.

The next two, "The Book of Temptation" and "The Christmas Preseance" were written by Scott Handcock, who was introduced to the show by Stuart and became a fan before writing the scripts, or, to be more precise, he got into to get some background to writing the scripts and then perhaps became a fan? Hmm. I don't know.

The last CD, "The Rage Beneath" was written by Scott Alan Woodward. I don't know his story. Maybe if Stuart of Scott H. are lurking around here somewhere they can help clear up anything I may have gotten wrong.

I vote a perpetual NO!  Dark Shadows is what it was.  Long live the memories and continued viewing.

Nothing's ever going to replace the original.  Nobody will ever recapture the first fine careless rapture.  (A favorite phrase from Browning - too good for me to let it go unattributed.)  I could get interested in a new Dark Shadows.  Unlike most people here, I could even get seriously interested in a rehash of the same old stories because I like seeing variations on a theme.  (The King Arthur legends are fun that way.)  But it would never be anything more than a very distant cousin to the original.

There was a series of comic books released that tied into the 1991 remake . In them there's a scene with Roger talking to  Elizabeth about Vicky being her daughter .
I wish they'd release the 2004 DS pilot on dvd , just so we can see it , those of us who can't get to the festivals.
