This is always hard, overall I'll take 4th season from the guidelines at page top. I like the way 1897 wrapped up, the mystery of Grant Douglas, and the opening of the Levaithans as they are some of my favorite stories. Nonetheless, have you ever noticed when yoy talk about Dark Shadows to someone who isn't well acquainted, inevitably you end you describing the 1975 story? Ultimately that may be the answer and the true zenith of the series.
 Then again, there was this great ghost in the summer of 1968... [gramophone]

I know what you mean.  I greatly admire 1897 and almost always put it at the top, but whenever I talk to someone who hasn't seen much if any of Dark Shadows, I always describe the Barnabas/Angelique/Josette love triangle which results in his curse.  That really became the essence of the show.

For me it's a tie between season 2 (the arrival of Barnabas and 1795) and season 4 (the haunting of Collinwood and 1897).

For me it was the 3rd season when Chris and Amy Jennings first appeared on the show.

My favorite would have to be season 2. It was basically the first season I saw and for the
longest time all we had were a couple of tapes involving the kidnapping of maggie
evans. I had a lot of time to contemplate what would happen next. :) Most definitely
season 2 would be my pick. ~DJ
