You know, the prime time remake with Ben Cross as Barnabus...but it didn't last long.Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-25630923620915274502010-03-15T17:27:23.653-04:002010-03-15T17:27:23.653-04:00Sorry, Rick, I was so excited about telling you ho...Sorry, Rick, I was so excited about telling you how much I liked Jonathan Frid and Dark Shadows, I forgot to say I think you wrote an outstanding post and enjoyed it very much!!!Akihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03037507780056714337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-43366776439798502752010-03-15T17:05:36.839-04:002010-03-15T17:05:36.839-04:00Rick, I am the biggest Dark Shadows fan I know.

My friends and I discussed the episodes at school during lunch because we thought they were so cool and scary. I even got my little brother interested in the show. Years later as an adult I saw all the episodes in order. I enjoyed them as much as I did as a kid. Jonathan Frid was my favorite character. I think he is a fine actor and portrayed Barnabus Collins as a vampire who was not totally mean but one who could be compassionate as well. I have seen House of Dark Shadows and Night of Dark Shadows. My little brother knew how much I liked Jonathan Frid so he bought me a book about Dark Shadows on 35th anniversary of the show. In my opinion Jonathan Frid made Dark Shadows into an A+ soap opera that has no equal today.Akihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03037507780056714337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-79141829713095686832010-03-14T22:27:34.594-04:002010-03-14T22:27:34.594-04:00I always liked Dark Shadows when I was a young gir...I always liked Dark Shadows when I was a young girl. I remember one day a boy asked me what I liked best about this soap opera and I was taken aback, having never thought of it as that! I remember the music box with Josette's theme and can still hum it to this day. This was a blast from my young past, Rick!toto2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09652682900471649463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-63932487020033618902010-03-14T13:24:00.609-04:002010-03-14T13:24:00.609-04:00Rick, My 31 year old son is collecting the daytime...Rick, My 31 year old son is collecting the daytime soap Dark Shadows DVDs .
