I remember well this sad, sad day. It seems very odd but I recall tuning in every day for those final months expecting that at any moment, they would return to 1971 and show us what Barnabas, Julia, and Prof. Stokes were up to! I kept wondering what was happening at the REAL Collinwood during that time.
At the same time, I did get involved in the new PT 1841 story. I remember how my heart went out to Melanie in particular, and how fascinating the new costumes were, and the mystery around the locked room (very Horace Walpole/Ann Radcliffe-ish!).
For the final weeks, one of the ABC affiliates in Washington started showing the episodes in the evenings, in an 11:30 pm slot, I think. For many years, these wound up being the only DS episodes that I had gotten to see TWICE.
