I had heard about this show and bought a VHS of the first episode years ago but I can't remember it at all.  I think I taped over it so I must have not been impressed; however my older self may like it.

It's VERY SLOW, but I got through the first arc of 65 eps or so on the island. When they switched locales and changed a large segment of the cast, I gave up on it. I might go back and finish it though. I think you can watch the first 13 weeks or so, get a feel for the best of the show and then bail without being left hanging. I think they were half expecting to be cancelled after the first 3 months, so they were wrapping things up fairly neatly.

I really should add that I meant to finish the series. My daughter and I were watching it regularly, but then we got out of the habit of watching around Christmas one year. We meant to go back to it, but never did. Had we not  been interupted, we probably would have finished. We were up to somewhere around ep 130 of the  195 or so they made. I probably will go back and finish it some day.

It's interesting, but it does move slow.  Here's a recap of a chunk of the episodes:

Episode 10:  "They won't let us off the island!"
Episode 11:  "They won't let us off the island!"
Episode 12:  "They won't let us off the island!"
(...)
(...)
Episode 63:  "They won't let us off the island!"
Episode 64:  "They won't let us off the island!"
Episode 65:  "Well, at least they finally changed the bed linens."

I'm really  hooked on this show. Yes, it's a tad slow (I'm still working my way through the first story arc) but it's very interesting. :)

"The won't let us off the island!" must have been their version of "YOU MUUUUUST NOW!!!"   [santa_wink]

Having never seen DC's '96 reworking of his Trilogy of Terror, I didn't realize that he'd used Casa Loma in it. I loved that house as Desmond Hall on SP.
