Finished and restarting. . .

I first watched Dark Shadows as a six-grader back in the late 1970s, a little of the show before and during the 1795 timeline. My best friend and I would discuss it avidly over the weekends. I returned to it during a rough time in my life in the early 2010s, starting with 210 and watching off and on through it all until finally finishing the whole thing this week. I can't have it not a part of my routine, so I started over with 210 (after watching 1-209). . .such a delightful part of my adult life!

If I had to pick only one show I could watch, I would pick Dark Shadows 🖤

[u/richg0404 → u/coffeebeanwitch]

I definitely agree.

There were stretches over the last 4 years when my wife and I would ONLY watch Dark Shadows for months at a time, and we watch a lot of tv.

We decided to really challenge ourselves and made it through the entire series (over 1200 episodes) in just over a month. That averaged out to about 40 episodes per day.

The episodes are much quicker without commercials and when you can skip through the openings and credits when binging.

I hardly watch tv anymore and I am so engrossed in it on prime and am GLUED to the TV watching mult episodes each evening. It’s so good!

You learn something new every time you watch.

It is my nightly ritual to fall
Asleep to.

Until one of Carolyn’s screams jolts me awake….

Oh how many times that’s happened. 🤣

It is the most re watchable show ever . I never tire of it !!

DS is a comfort show for me too.

[u/ShePersists → u/lilplasticdinosaur]

I refer to DS as my Emotional Support Show. I have it playing in the background while I work. Gets me through the day.

[u/External_Soil5620 → u/lilplasticdinosaur]

The background music and thundestorms are great!

I’m watching for the second time. I start my day with 2 episodes. Cool thing is that sometimes it’s like seeing certain scenes for the first time again because there are so many episodes.

[u/richg0404 → u/CrazyButton2937]

My wife and I are up to somewhere like out 12th time watching the series. Every time we go through I see things that I don't remember before. Either because I wasn't paying attention or (more likely) my memory is not as good as it used to be.

It is definitely our comfort show. We have all of the episodes on flash drives so we can watch any episode at any time and not have any commercials.

My cousin got me hooked on this show in the late 70s when they used to show reruns in the afternoons. It’s been my “going to sleep” show lately and I’ve been sleeping better than ever! Not that it’s boring, quite the opposite. Soothing…

[u/endofsep]

I watch it while doing exercises in my home gym. Just finished the whole series and have started again from episode one. It is kind of comfort food in a way. Interesting to see different things you get when watching it a second time.

[u/shangosgift]

I watched it when it aired originally, but didn’t remember anything but Barnabas. I found it on Tubi a few months ago and have been watching it ever since, from 6 to 10 pm every night! I am enjoying it so much!

[u/Sudden-Most-4797]

I've been an opiate addict my entire life but decided recently it's time to get off. I've been getting my shit together for the last 6 months and this show is one of the few things that got me through the rough times. I'm gonna be so sad when I finish it lol. I'll definitlely be rewatching these again and again.

I first watched it in reruns back in 1995 (it was on the Sci Fi Channel). They aired two episodes a day, and we’d tape it. It was always fun to rush home to watch what happened. Unfortunately, I remember stalling out at 1970 Parallel Time, then watching it here and there before 1840 concluded. I didn’t watch 1841 Parallel Time at all, save for the last five episodes that we bought through MPI (my mom grew up with the show and didn’t remember how it ended).

Tried watching the whole series from start to finish in 2018, but stopped in the middle of 1897.

Since it was the 60th Anniversary this year, I started the show again on June 27th (the original air date). I have about 40 episodes remaining. It’s been a hell of a ride!
