Can I ask you this....is there anything, or a particular storyline, in Dark Shadows that you DO enjoy?
Sure.
Plots:
1966--there are facets that I dislike, but by and large like the Bill Malloy thing, Vicki's arrival, the Phoenix.
1967--Jason and Liz
1795--everything but the Vicki/Peter junk
1968--well, I answered that one already
1897--first half is really good. They started going nuts in the second half, but there are still parts that I love.
1969--not a Leviathan fan
1970PT--nothing, but Cyrus, John, and Buffie
1840--very much like parts of this
1841PT--I would rather clean my bathroom floor
Did I miss anything?
Characters (not that I admire all of them, but I get a kick out of watching them)--in no particular order:
Elizabeth, Roger, Mrs. Johnson, Professor Stokes, Carolyn, Burke #1, Willie Loomis, Quentin, Beth, Gabriel, Edith, Jason, Judith, Samantha, Bill Malloy, Cassandra, Buffie, Flora (before they tamed her down), Tony Peterson.
I'm sure there are more.
