darchildreOne of my favorite things* about Dark Shadows is that you have this run of episodes that are all vampire, vampire, vampire, all dark and creepy locking people in basements and brainwashing them into thinking that they're actually completely other women who have been dead for years and also, by the way, in love with the vampire. And you'll end one of the episodes on a cliffhanger where, I don't know, possibly someone might die or something and then...
The next episode is back in the other plotline about people being blackmailed into marrying conmen and their daughters disapproving and dating ridiculous 60's bikers.
Possibly, that is less jarring if one is watching the show the way it was broadcast: one episode a day. But if you watch it in marathon chunks, it is pretty hilarious.
*There are a lot of other favorite things, but mostly, OMG, Willie Loomis. Hi, Willie, you are my favorite Renfield since the original, where have you been all my life?
