I love The Munsters, but Dark Shadows is one series that I've been wanting to start watching. I'll have to try to watch some before the poll closes.

Oh, and Pablo, I think your clip for Dark Shadows is from the remake no?

Indeed. My bad. Will be rectified presently! Sort of hectic at work today... :(

I can't believe I'm saying this, but The Munsters! I never really liked the "soap opera" approach that Dark Shadows used.

But... DS has that atmosphere! It's a truly unique show. Hopefully it goes far.

Dark Shadows is a rather unique series, I highly recommend it, and I'm glad that mystima nominated it. It's gothic, atmospheric, eerie. It's about vampires and time travel, Stephen King fans should enjoy it. Oh and it takes place in Maine.

Thank you :rose: I got into the series because my sisters used to tell me about it. wasn't all that thrilled with the remake though. love the eerie stuff in the series. it was a break through show during its time. you didn't see shows like this back then or now for that matter...whenever I get a chance to see it i love it all over again.

JohnI could agree that that approach was a bit trite, but compared to the approach that The Munsters used... lol
I know the latter was "supposed" to be cornball, but I still don't see it running for Best TV of All Time. In that regard, DS clearly has more to claim. <_<

Oh my fucking God, I just found out they're making a Dark Shadows movie, and it's by none other than Tim Burton!

I still like & respect T.B. but his track record at remakes is mostly very bad... and I'm not wild about remakes anyway, even when it's one based on good source material.

I'm kind of surprised about that, myself, Pablo. I mean, I know the Munsters is a cult favorite and all that ... but Dark Shadows!!!
