Hey everyone! I joined the board a couple days ago and just thought I'd introduce myself.

I've been watching DS for about 10 years but I haven't seen all of the episodes yet. I discovered it on Sci-Fi Channel and, for the longest time, I could only watch the show during summer break from school. Then, once I finally had enough power over the TV to start taping it every morning...well, a few months later, Sci-Fi stopped showing it (just my luck). Couldn't afford to buy the series, so I'd been living off my copy of HODS until a few weeks ago when I found that one of the libraries around here has the DVDs. I just started set 2, so I've got a lot of catching up to do. But I have a month long vacation from school starting here in a couple weeks, and let's just say my plans for those days off include quite a bit of time in front of the television...

Anyway, like I said, just thought I'd introduce myself. I don't know how much I'll be posting at first but I hope to get involved. Seems like a great board!

I was pretty surprised to find that several of the libraries in the area seem to be collecting the entire series as it's being released. But a big NON-CONGRATS library worker who checked my stuff out for me last time I was there. Her reaction to seeing the DS DVDs: "Wow, that show was awful." She apparently didn't watch the same show that we do.  [90d4]

Welcome Mrs M

shame on that librarian, she should respect your desire to watch and enjoy the show.

DS isn't perfect, but it has stretches of brilliance and was certainly years ahead of it's tme.

And Barnabas Collins is offically the second most famous vampire in fiction, right after Count Dracula!

You should check Amazon, they might have used DVDs within your budget!
And DVDPlanet.com sells new discs at 1/3 less than the regular price.

As it happened, she wasn't wearing her name tag....how convenient for her.  [santa_wink]

Thanks once again for the welcome, everyone. And thank you, David, for the tips on where to find the DVDs. I've been looking into buying them for myself and will be sure to check out those sites.
