    Amazon Prime is streaming 26 seasons of the original Dark Shadows.

    All 1225 episodes of Dark Shadows free to watch with a prime membership.

    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

    May start watching now. They previously only had select seasons. I remember being enthralled by this show when I was a kid. Watched some awhile back and was struck at how awful a lot of the acting was.

      I'd love to finally start watching this show, but 1225 episodes? Damn, with all the other unwatched stuff I need to see, I just don't have the time for this kind of commitment! Maybe I can cherry pick, are there any seasons that are especially good?

        I skipped the non-Barnabas episodes and started last night! I watched the show when I could back in during high school summer breaks on Sci Fi after my Dad had talked about it for years. I have some of those compilation DVDS, but it's great to watch the whole episodes again!

            Interesting that they don't immediately reveal that Barnabas is a vampire. We're not even told the hidden tomb Willie found belonged to Barnabas. Yes, it's easy to infer, but I'm enjoying the suspenseful slow reveal that A. Barnabas is the ORIGINAL Barnabas from the portrait B. He's a vampire. and C. Willie is essentially his Renfield.

              When do the Barnabus episodes start? Think I'll pass on the others as well.

                Start with episode 210.

                  The show is grouped in a strange way. The Barnabas episodes start with "Collection 1". The previous episodes are called "The Beginning" Collection. Very hard to figure out. Why not just do years, since there aren't really "seasons" for a soap opera?

                      I think in a way it's like story arcs in comics/graphic novels. Storylines grouped by theme: Barnabas becomes human, the werewolf, the monster, Quentin and the ghosts, time travel to different eras. They really did a lot in five years.
