Like most reviewers here, I used to watch this show after school in the 60's. I'd run home from school to get to see it twice in the afternoon, once at 3:30 on a Chattanooga station and then at 4:00 pm on my Atlanta channel. Even as a primary school student, the combination of vampires, witches and werewolves didn't scare me one bit. I was fascinated! And just as an aside, the question asked of the boys of my generation was always, "Ginger or Mary Ann?" Incomplete. It should have been "Ginger, Mary Ann or Angelique?" Angelique wins hands down!! Even at 6 years old I knew she was The Bomb!!

This DVD set still has the actors playing many different roles, some of which had no bearing on their earlier ones. It doesn't matter, the show was wonderful and was one of the most fun of any I watched during those years.

I actually rediscovered the series again in 1997 on Sci Fi and taped it religiously to watch after work. I remembered most of the story lines and enjoyed it once again.

Series purists will love this collection and wish there had been more.

I was sad when I was a kid watching Dark Shadows end ,I always thought there are more monsters to do .Now that the DVD's are coming to an end I'm saddened again .The show was a late night favorite of mine ,the charachters were never to over the top for me .I enjoyed the use of the actors in "family" roles ,playing someone from a different generation in the same family .This DVD set wraps up the last Parallel Time story and the series .The extras on this set are outstanding and really flesh out how much this meant to so many people .Having done some interactive acting at a Haunted Castle for Halloween I appreciate what the cast had to do when things don't go exactly as planned .There'll never be another show that will capture the spirit and feel of Dark Shadows .I'll go and get the Pre-Barnabas sets that are coming out ,I have only seen the 1st episode once .This is a fine ending set to a great series .

Sadly the series end left the cast back in the 1860's which is pretty much the only plot thread resolved. The DVD does have some bonus features where the writers surmise how some of the characters might have ended up in 1970.
In a way the final episodes do deal with the later day characters as the storyline is about the locked room and the family curse. Several bonus features flush out the set on disc 4. The promo clips from various television shows with Jonathan Frid were a nice feature. Dark Shadows had something rare, a nearly flawless cast that jelled together perfectly. That led to a series that rose over any script imperfections or technical errors and might help to explain why the show is still popular today.
