I remember it well!

Mom wanted to watch DS because she liked Joan Bennett, so I watched it with her, even though I kind of resented this new show for replacing NEVER TOO YOUNG, which I'd been getting into.  

Mom wasn't terribly enthused, but I was, and watched from that day on with great excitement.  Ghosts on a daytime soap?  A Phoenix?  A homicidal child?  I loved it!

When Barnabas joined the show, I was totally enraptured.  A handsome, courtly, homicidal vampire who felt badly about what he did?  Cool!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, DARK SHADOWS!

Love, Robin

Robin, I watched NEVER TOO YOUNG also, and was very upset that they replaced it with DS. I watched for the first week, then the spooky music started and I was outta there until a year later when I tried it again, saw Julia and Barnabas and was hooked.  :)

Happy Birthday Dark Shadows! I wasn't born when it premired and never watched it until Febuary of this year, but it quickly became my favorite show. I hope it stays in reruns on Sci Fi for a long long time so more people can see it  :) I recently ordered the first episode on tape and I'm surprised how it evolved into what it became...because all the ghosts seemed to be those of the past and not of the ghosts associated with the later part of the series...neways, Happy Birthday DS!!
