Readers Poll: The 10 Best Episodes of DARK SHADOWS

By WALLACE McBRIDE

During the last few weeks, we've been asking you to name your 10 favorite episodes of DARK SHADOWS. It was no easy task. Selecting your favorite episode from more than 1,200 stories is not a job for casual fans. In fact, even the wording for this feature, "THE 10 BEST EPISODES," was loaded with possibilities ... would people select episodes based purely on historical importance? Would they follow specific characters? Major plot developments? Would this feature simply turn into "The Best of Barnabas?"

As it turns out, the results were many of those things simultaneously. In the end, almost 200 individual episodes received votes, with a handful rising to the top. There's a lot here to discuss.

In this episode of podcast, Patrick McCray and I get the ball rolling in this discussion, as we announce the winners of the readers poll. We also talk about about the unusual, occasionally surprising trends in voting, as well as the prominent absence of many of DARK SHADOWS' favorite characters from the list.
