Current Talk '02 I / Off With His Head Or Don't Do Drugs!

Dear Fellow Dark Shadows Fans,
Let's get this straight, Barnabas (with the "help" of the esteemed Dr. Lang) will remove Jeff Clark's head and place it on the new body for Barnabas. So, Barnabas/Jeff Clark shows up at Collinwood (now weighing in at about 240 lbs., and standing-up straight at about six-foot-five), and Miss Vicky is NOT supposed to notice anything different about this guy? I know that Vicky is usually naive and ingenuous, but this really strains credulity!!!
When the Dark Shadows writers conceived this particular plotline, were they tripping out on tabs of sunshine? (Tabs of Sunshine - a term for LSD for all of you Dark Shadows fans who were not yet a gleam in your father's eyes back during the swinging Sixties.)
During the course of two episodes, Dr. Lang anesthesized Jeff a total of three, count 'em, THREE times! Poor Jeff must have had the grandfather of all hangovers as he was "coming down" the next day!
As an unabashed fan of Lang & Clark, I just loved their dialogue today:
Dr. Lang: "Jeff, give me that knife (scalpel)."
Jeff C.: "Yeah, I'll give you the knife, doctor, right between your ribs!"
Dr. Lang: "Jeff, let me give you a treatment for your problem."
Jeff C.: "Yeah, doctor, THE treatment!"
Another example of Lang & Clark's classic comedic schtick for everyone to enjoy!
Sincerely,
Bob the Bartender
PS Jeff C.: "Dr. Hoffman, you've got to believe me that Dr. Lang wants to cut off my head."
Dr, H.: (In a moment of inner dialogue) "Jeff, you're #@*%ing crazy!!!"
