Happy New Year, friends!
Following up on a suggestion I made a while back, I am initiating a Coordinated Dark Shadows Watching Project, to start on January 15, when cousins will have had time to take down their holiday decorations and dig out their DVDs and tapes. The plan is that all Project Participants will watch one pre-determined Dark Shadows episode per day on weekdays, starting as follows:
Monday, January 15: Episode 210, originally aired Monday, April 17, 1967
Tuesday, January 16: Episode 211, originally aired Tuesday, April 18, 1967
Wednesday, January 17: Episode 212, originally aired Wednesday, April 19, 1967
Thursday, January 18: Episode 213, originally aired Thursday, April 20, 1967
Friday, January 19: Episode 214, originally aired Friday, April 21, 1967
Monday, January 22: Episode 215, originally aired Monday, April 24, 1967
Tuesday, January 23: Episode 216, originally aired Tuesday, April 25, 1967
Wed., January 24: Episode 217, originally aired Wednesday, April 26, 1967
Thursday, January 25: Episode 218, originally aired Thursday, April 27, 1967
Friday, January 26: Episode 219, originally aired Friday, April 28, 1967
Project Participants will then discuss these episodes in this forum in an intelligent, refined, and morally uplifting fashion. Or anyway, we'll discuss them.
If I had my druthers, the Project would start with Episode 1, but I don't have Episode 1, and it would set a dangerous precedent if the Project Initiator didn't have a clue what was going on.
I'm looking for five good fans and true to come forward and swear on their grandmother's thrice-robbed grave that, as Project Participants, they will watch the specified episodes on the specified days, or else they'll pretend to have watched them, so that I can be sure that the Project will get off to a good start. The proper thing to do would be to offer a reward to the first five, but I don't have any firstborn Projects currently available for distribution.
Who's in?
