The Shocking Truth about TV Guide
« on: August 07, 2003, 08:21:49 PM »
Just now I happened to have a look at TV Guide's blurb (on their schedule pages) for DS, and I was *appalled* to see that they listed the cast of the 1991 remake for the cast of the series currently being broadcast on Sci Fi.

Such infamy!  and it's all so sordid...

Somebody is clearly too busy airbrushing beefcake graphics from The O. C. to bother with the few bits of quality left on the air.

Ain't that the truth!

I just sat through the first 10 minutes of FOX's rerun of the pilot--and then I went back to the Dark Shadows episodes I taped this morning.

Your TV Guide actually has a "blurb" for DS?!!  Generally reruns of old shows like this just list the name.  I don't think I've ever seen any other information in my edition.

An honest mistake I suppose...

Still I wonder *why* they even have a synopsis for the revival series which ran for 12 eps about a decade before tvguide.com existed.
