First tapes

Well it's official, give or take a few more movies, but Dark Shadows and I mean the entire thing has just been bumped up on my Netfliks account.  So yeah I can't wait.  However, what I won't tolerate again, is the delay in the DVD sets for the first arcs.  Look, would it be wrong to hunt down the series via tape?  I think I've asked this before, but once again, I'd like to at least to try to see it in order.  And it's not that I won't be supporting DS, I will, by watching it.  But I don't want to wait a year or so until it comes out and I'm sure a few of you did the sasme thing back in the day.  So once again,

1. Does anyone have the release date.

2. Would anyone have copies of the arcs before Barnabas Collins?

Okay keeping on DS topics, wow, Johnny Depp.  never knew he was a fan.  But do you think they be able to portray him as Barnabas?

Please delete this topic as it is no longer needed.  Thank you.
