Claude, I am ROFLMAO at your remark!  just brilliant!

The challenge with errors in a PomPress pub might be--where do you STOP.

I mean, the exercise could conceivably gobble up an entire weekend on its own account...

A Mayonnaise, Boiled Dinner, and Indian Pudding taste-testing competition, juried by a panel of Mrs Johnson impersonators.  Mrs Johnson would reserve the right not to taste any mayonnaise that doesn't "smell fresh."

Bat, I totally agree about that silly Zombie Quentin storyline, although I do love the scene where Barn is reading Jeremiah's diary to Magda and Sandor in the basement of the Old House.  And Thayer's work with Sandor's lines in that scene actually brings an edge of pathos to an otherwise rather absurd staging.

Maybe they looked at episodes that had been immortalized in the bubble-gum cards and Viewmaster reels to choose the "fan favorites"?

How cool would it have been if there had been an actual poll where fans could have first established a shortlist of favorites, then voted on the 9 episodes to be chosen.  A missed opportunity for MPI.

G.

Oh, I wasn't panicking. Just expressing regret.

Nicky is a boy, btw.  (I know him in what is laughingly referred to as "real life.")

cheers, G.

Wow.  I wonder if MPI is about to lose (or give up) the rights to distribute DS on home video?  Since the box set is being touted as a limited edition, it will presumably only be available for a set time.

Has Warners/Universal/Megaleviathan assumed the rights to distribute the series or planning to do so if the Depp movie franchise takes off?  Or will the series simply go OP?

I always thought it was phenomenal that Dark Shadows remained in print on home video, and made the transition from VHS to DVD so successfully to the point where ALL episodes have been available now for close to 20 years.

It'll be sad to think that there may be a period when it won't be available.  Feels like the ending of an era.

G.

Thanks, Nicky, for that reminder. (wink)

I remember when this friend's Mom got a new car, circa June 1969. The color was described as "sub-lime."  (Yes, for reals.)  It was a lurid neon chartreuse.  I wonder how long that little car lasted.  It was a sporty little thing.

Gerard, I realize I'm 2 years late to thank you for your description of that wall treatment.  Sounds like the result of somebody's acid trip.

For anyone who reads French, the author's name is Jean Marigny (which sounds like a possible pseudonym; either that, or he comes from a very old family).

I looked at the book at work--I work for a large University library, and we collect extensively not only from Europe, but all around the world.
