Well, it's time for the end or it is the beginning of the end depending on your perspective. This disc contains the last 19 episodes (1227-1245) of the show plus Dark Shadows Tribute, Dark Shadows 25th Anniversary, Dark Shadows Vampires and Ghosts, Dark Shadows Scariest Moments, The Best of Barnabas, The Making of Return to Collinwood, Before the Shadows, A Fan Remembers, Dark Shadows: The Beginning, Beyond the Shadows, Rare rehearsal footage, Promotional spots and trailers, and Behind-the-scenes home movies. This is going to ship on September 26, 2006.

Dark Shadows:The Beginning (Episodes 1-35) are going to be released in January of 2007. Initially, it is only going to be available to Dark Shadows DVD Club members. They are pricing it at $54.98 per set and there will be approximately six of them. There is a buy five get one free. However, it's still cheaper with Amazon.com. I'm waiting closer to it to see how it shakes out with other retail channels. Meanwhile, stay tuned. More news when we get there.

News about Alexandra Moltke's Documentary

Here is a huge news flash for those that have Direct TV (not sure if LINK TV is on cable or not). Alexandra's Moltke's new documentary, The Healing Gardens of New York, is coming to all coasts starting Friday, August 19 at 9PM PT. To check the times and schedule in your area click this link. Then, you'll want to click on the P, M, C or E which is Pacific, Mountain, Central or Eastern. Voila you know the time in your area, set your VCR/TIVO.

For those of us not in New York, this is a great thing. I'm really glad I had my TIVO search for it!
