Hmm . . maybe a more controversial question would be would you colorize the early episodes?

Oh, but you haven't seen anything yet. Just wait until you see some of the clothes in the 1970PT episodes. After that you'll probably think Cassandra's clothes were some of the most conservative outfits you've ever seen in your entire life!  [lghy]  But then, it was a deliberate choice to make everything brighter and more colorful in both PT storylines.

It's blasphemy to even think such a thing, worse to do it!  :o

But maybe that's just me.  :D

I like the show in B&W when it was filmed black and white and in color when it was filmed in color. I hope that is clear. And I also think colorization is AWFUL!!! I certainly don't want to see that done to our great show. Not even the episodes that were filmed in color and the only version left is the black and white one.  :'(

Colorization is truly a horrible thing.

For some reason, the writers/producers/DC felt that ALL women vampires had to run around Collinsport in their nightgowns!  Whas up w/that??  Barnabas, Dirk, Tom Jennings, they all got to wear actual clothes!

I agree, the HORROR!  To me, colorizing the old B&W eps would be like colorizing To Kill A Mockingbird, or some other movie classic!  It's horrible!  But, to be honest, I could see DCP/MPI doing it if they thought they'd sell more DVD's!  I'm just glad I have volumes 1-9 already.  Let's keep our fingers crossed that they DON'T colorize the pre-Barnabas DVD's which will come out last.

To answer the original question, I like both and agree w/the majority here that the B&W eps made the show more eery, spooky and mysterious, particularly when Barnabas was terrorizing Maggie early in his run.  I'm actually glad they lost the original of the ep where she escapes from the basement cell as the kinoscope just MAKES that ep!

But, I'm glad they eventually went to color.  Can't imagine 1795, 1897 or 1840 w/out the color so that we could better enjoy those gorgeous costumes!   [hall2_smiley]

I know this is a really minor point, but to some of us it MATTERS.

When Vampire Tom first shows up, he's wearing something that looks an awful lot like hospital pajamas.  The wonderful thing about those pjs is how incredibly easily the pants come down... for purely practical convenience for giving injections, taking the patient's temp, etc.  Why, whatever ELSE did you think I meant by "easy"??

But, anyway, I just think the idea of Vampire Tom being buried in his pjs was a hoot!  He obviously ran home and picked up some clothes since he is subsequently seen more normally attired.

Forgive this pointless digression... I have no life...
