I am 61 years old, and my favorite thing when I got off the school bus, got home (which was just before 4:00) was to know Dark Shadows would soon be on tv! Loved the settings; the Collinwood mansion in Maine, the drawing room where many a scene took place, the Old House that Barnabas acquired (or shall we say re-acquired, since to him, as a vampire of close to 200 years old, it was coming home...it used to be his home). Dark Shadows is a series always clad in a cloak of mystery; I like that. One finds it easy to get involved with the Collins family characters, and the travellers through their haunted world. It was taped live, so sometimes actors mess up their lines, but it really doesn't matter. To gradually get the dvd's is two things to me: to feel for a while like I am again that young girl at 4:00, fascinated, on the edge of my chair, as I anticipate ghosts, vampires, Victorian settings, and...in later episodes, time travel. It is also an enchanting joy to become enthralled with now at my age, disabled. I immerse myself in this world of possibilities.Read full review

For any Dark Shadows fan these two sets are the most important, as not only is Barnabas Collins introduced but also Dr. Julia Hoffman. Prior to these two sets, the audience is introduced to Victoria Winter's and the Collins family ("The Beginning" series).

These are amusing and as they were essentially done live there are some dropped lines and other issues which only add to the charm. The image is frankly a lot better than I expected, crisp awesome black and white, I think anyone who's looking is probably a fan (or you will be!) & would want this-Also the seller was great, really great service and this is no boot or anything, real factory issue!
Always wanted to own this series, now I do and very affordable!

The original Dark Shadows is one of the best television shows ever created.
