I am excited to now buy all of these sets in order.I loved watching this show as a child and now i can view every episode in order!
September 28, 2008 |  | Let me count the ways . . . |  |
. . . in which I love thee. I am enjoying the holy hell out of this 1st collection. The very concept of a gothic soap opera is too good to be believed, but this is indeed a very precious gift from TV land, even with all faults considered. Because it is a soap opera first, which means character development is less than subtle and the most banal concepts are often regurgitated. But you will learn to appreciate it for what it is, and please consider the way in which this material was originally delivered (5 days a week for the season), not the way I choose to view it (in marathon sessions). No doubt, these film and theater actors struggled on a daily basis with live taping of scripts for which there was minimal preparation or rehearsal. There are many acting and production gaffes, but that just adds to the charm. What keeps me so attached is the personal charisma of the principals. Long after you've grown weary of the big deal about Burke Devlin you'll still get a kick out of Mitchell Ryan's portrayal. You might also lose yourself madly in the brunette tresses and innocence that is Victoria Winters. The opening voiceovers range from dark campy goodness to the profound, and who can live without the crashing waves and eerie music that complement the title sequence? With almost 1200 episodes to go (this set covers 1 - 35), I can see this will be a moderately expensive but infinitely pleasurable love affair. I just wish they'd get around to releasing House of Dark Shadows and Night of Dark Shadows on DVD.
