[QUOTE="Spooky Owl!, post: 72797, member: 57984"] Heh. Not me. The 1991 primetime redo of DARK SHADOWS was just that: a 1991 primetime redo. Aside from the names and ostensible family dynamic (and a higher budget, obviously) it had none of the appeal or mood of the '60s daytime soap --- because it wasn't the '60s. Everybody in the 1991 nighttime version too pretty, too bland, etc., the atmosphere lacking the B&W or saturated color and that neo-Victorian shtick of the late-'60s (as lousy as the '60s show and its shoe-string effects often were).
