The state of primetime tv, has been on a downward spiral for years now. Mainly because the networks dont give their show a chance,
Most of the hot shows of the last 4 years have all been on a cable network. HBO's, Showtime, FX, MTV, Comedy Central, etc.
Just imagine if a new version of Dark Shadows did come to the main networks, most likely it would be cancel within weeks.
Cable Television has come along way, and the Old Dark Shadows deserved a home, on a network that will support it and nuture it.
And who knows if it succeds on that network, maybe it would be interested in New Version OF DARK SHADOWS.
