Today's avi is in honor of one of my all-time favorite shows, Dark Shadows. It was EXACTLY 50 years ago today (Monday, June 27, 1966) that the show first aired. I have the entire series on DVD and am planning to watch every episode (one per weekday) over the next 5 years. Should be fun.
The rain has gone away for awhile. Cooler air predicted by Tuesday.
Have a Magnificent Monday, overs!
The world stopped for Dark Shadows when it was on, I was 9 years old and, if I remember right, it aired late enough in the afternoon that we were home from school. In the summer, our street was quiet as all us kids (and most adults at home) watched it. My sister even named her poodle puppy Angelique. I have not seen a whole episode since, just some clips here and there. It was a scream (pun intended) for sure!
