When do YOU watch your Dark Shadows?
« on: January 17, 2003, 01:41:49 AM »
Hi Everyone,
When do YOU watch your Dark Shadows?
I used to tape it and watch it all at night, but now with the new time slot, I watch 1/2 in the am before work & 1/2 at night.  It's turned out to be "not so bad".

Currently, I watch it when I get home, which is usually around 4:00 PM.

I tape it while I'm driving to work and then watch it in the evening when I'm doing kitchen clean-up after supper.

I tape it and watch it in the evening usually. Even when I was home during the day, I would do this, though I would often watch it in the afternoon.

I find when I try to watch it without taping it, I miss too much. The phone rings, or something distracts me and then I can't back up the tape. Plus, cutting the commercials is quite the time saver.

Since it's on at 6AM in Arizona I could watch it while I'm getting ready for work but I still watch it when I get home because it's faster (speeding through commercials).  Also, few things are more relaxing after a stressful day at work for me than to put on the tape first thing after I get home.

[hello][hello] A large DITTO to Murph.  I do the same thing even if I am at home when it is broadcast. When I am working,  I like to relax and enjoy  around 4:30 when I get home from school.

It depends . . . now that it's on in the AM, I may watch it then and there, but generally I save it up on a tape and watch it when I've got the time to do the column (which explains why I get so vitriolic ;))

Usually the tape gets put on once I finally get to sit down for dinner and the boys are just about done eating.  LAFB starts making faces 'cause she doesn't want to watch Sponge Bob Square Pants.  She orders them out of the room so we can watch in peace.
(And concentrate on Sponge-Bob Barnabas and Quentin Square-Pants.)  LOL

Always at night!  Since both my parents like watching the show (they don't get the Sci-Fi station) what I do is tape it and then I'll watch it with them in the evening.  I feel it's much more relaxing this way.

My viewing times keep changing.  When I was in high school, I'd tape all the shows for the week and watch them on the weekend in five-hour sittings while I did my homework.  Last year when I started college, I used to watch the taped show first thing when I came home each afternoon.  During the recent semester, until the timeslot changed, I would usually be able to watch the first episode 'live' before leaving for class, then finish watching the taped episode when I came home.  Now, I will probably be able to watch both episodes before class in the morning since fastforwarding through commercials on the tape is a big help. :)

I normally watch the show while riding my exercise bike. I ride anywhere from 40-65 minutes a day, and watching a couple episodes while I do so makes the time seem to pass more quickly.  Bob

Every now and then, I'll watch the first ep when I return home from work in the evening.  But usually I watch Dark Shadows in bed around 10pm.  It's like having a spooky bedtime story every night, and it certainly makes for some interesting dreams.  ;)

That is cool!  [are the P's first gen fans???]  When I was home for Xmas, I turned my Dad on to Game show network's B&W overnite showings of 'To Tell the Truth', 'What's my line' and 'I've got a secret' - and now we have crazy phone calls about Bennett Cerf and Fred Allen - and Polly Bergen! [you can imagine what a nut case my Dad is!]  I remember watching those with my parents and laughing our a$$e$ off on Sunday nites!

With my self-oblique slash-un employed status, sometimes I have meetings in the morning with 'clients' [I do graphic work - and magazine covers ;) - for some companies]. So sometimes I watch 'live' and sometimes late afternoon, and sometimes in the evening [sounds like a Steve Martin routine!]  I will sometimes get a day or two behind, and try not to read relevant posts till I ketchup, but this is and B&WON are about the only TV I really set my watch for. - oh, and the 70's show [surprized they haven't even mentioned DS, but it is set a bit later...... but Stokes could join them in the circle!]  And any old re-run with a DS alum [like TLATKLS in Matlock....]

What other shows do you all watch?
