I was scrolling through the program listings on the television the other night and saw a program listing for Dark Shadows.
What memories that brought back! As a kid, I and my friends would interrupt whatever afternoon activity we were involved in and sit in front of the television from 4:00 to 4:30.
Dark Shadows was our daily journey into the things we did not talk about after dark. Vampires, ghosts, journeys into mausoleums - these were all excitingly entertaining while the sun was still up.
Unfortunately the show that was on the other night was not the original but a weak remake.
Unbelievable that a producer would think that anyone other than the actor Jonathan Frid could convincingly portray the vampire Barnabas Collins.
