How many times did Barnabas say variations on the line "You have betrayed me" or "You know better than to betray me" in 1967? I remember when I started watching DS in 1968 that the fact that they used the word "betray" with the same frequency as regular folk ask for the salt at the dinner table made a definite impression upon me.
So many of the fans complain about how unreal DS was--for me that was one of the top draws of the show!
