I'm rushing through the episodes to see them all before you-know-who gets the lawyers going.

Unlike the Austin group's version of DS, which was done straight (no pun intended [hall2_wink]), this is quite obviously a spoof. And even though we certainly recognize everything for what it is, they've changed names and locations. So, I'm thinking this one may be allowed to continue so long as it stays on the path it's currently on. But I suppose we'll see...

Let's keep our fingers crossed, MB - you know how finicky and picky "certain people" are.  I'm surprised my door-bell didn't ring one day with a bunch of suits and briefcases standing there, handing me a cease-and-desist order for lending my copy of Angelique's Descent to a friend.

Another weird episode of Dank Shadows, episode 15, has just been posted on Youtube.  In this one the gender-bending reaches feverish heights as guests beginning arriving for Carnabas' Costume Ball... The plot is really going off on its own tangent now rather than simply parodying the 1967 storyline.

Great stuff for those of us with a really warped sense of humor!

When I was at Seaview last year there was several videos shown that were a lot like DANK SHADOWS as far as budget etc. but wasn't a spoof.  I will not say the person's name; however, some may know him. He could play Julia and Barney both "PERFECTLY!"  I was laughing hysterically and inquired in getting a copy.  Alas....I couldn't!  Supposedly, the person who made them tried to cut a deal with DC/PIERSON who was having NON of it.  That being said, I think a spoof doesn't fall under copyright infringement.  If so how would Family Guy, Robot Chicken, etc. stay on the air???  

I hope it doesn't get pulled because I am crushing on JOHNSON! Yes I am shallow! ;)
If you like DS and want to have a fun  on a Facebook page that is open to all forms of DS and doesn't allow childish behavior like some groups; come on over to DIAESD! You do have to ask to be invited and I will approve you.

You are right, Taeylor. Spoofs are protected from copyright laws.

From a Simpsons Halloween special (paraphrasing here):

Groundskeeper Willie:  "Aye, you have the shinnin'."

Bart:  "Don't you mean the shining?"

Groundskeeper Willie:  "Quiet!  Do you want to get sued?"
