(Recorded on June 1, 2025) Up this week is the final episode of the 1991, cult classic tv show Dark Shadows, that we’re lovingly calling, “The Leap Home.” While Victoria sits in her jail cell, Joshua and Peter are the defying the laws of time and distance to get a stay of execution from the Governor. Naomi hears her son calling to her through his portrait and finds him crying in the old house. Abigail gets her just deserts (and Barnabas just gets dessert). We finally find out what happened to Sarah (it’s not good). Barnabas and Ben team up one last time and it has Reverend Trask doing backsies on that whole “Victoria Winters is a witch thing.” Peter hand delivers a letter to the judge exonerating his client but things are never that simple when Angelique is around. Barnabas wants his father to put him out of his misery, but Joshua can’t bring himself to do it. In 1991, Angelique has found a new host and poor Phyllis is the object of her rage. Victoria resigns herself to he fate, but there’s a last ditch effort in 1991 to try and get her home. Plus, Meaghan uses some witchcraft of her own, George does the Stonk, and we talk 18th century medicine—it’s surprising anyone made it out alive! (Original network airdate March 22, 1991)

(Recorded May 25, 2025) Up this week is episode eleven (ep 12 for the purposes of the tile) of the 90’s tv show, Dark Shadows, which we're dubbing, “If The Dress Doesn’t Fit, You Must Acquit.” It’s the trial of the century (the 18th century) and Victoria is finally having her day in court. Peter is representing her as she stands accused of being a witch. A totally normal thing back then because America has alway been weird. This trial has everything: wigs, tiny little straw dolls, men in pilgrim costumes, and scorned lover back from the dead. And while all of this is going on, the rest of the gang works to get Josette safely through her fifth night in Collinwood. Unfortunately, since she let Barnabas go to town on her neck, she’s under his spell. He beckons her to be by his side for all eternity, but will she be a runaway bride? Plus, Meaghan has a bone to pick with George; George meets a real live Barnabas; and we throw in as much O.J. content as we can. (Original network airdate March 11, 1991)

(Recorded May 18, 2025) Up this week is episode ten (ep 11 for the purposes of the tile) of the 90’s tv show, Dark Shadows, that we’re calling, “Are You There God? It’s Me, Barnabas.” Peter shares the Collinsport Family History Book with Countess Natalie, who struggles to believe it contains the truth. Joshua calls a house meeting and tells everyone they’re moving into the new Collinwood, the current place has bad juju. Barnabas has sailed to England, and by England we mean his father placed is coffin in the family mausoleum. Barnabas wakes up hungry and goes out for a bite. Abigail invites Reverend Trask over so they can continue to blame Victoria for everything even though she is still in Lockup: Collinsport. Natalie convinces Josette that they must leave, but Josette goes to the old house looking for her music box, but finds an old flame instead. Plus, George and Meaghan discuss their seasonal allergies, dark money in politics, and if Josette and Barnabas are playing a game of, “no, I’m sorry!” (Original network airdate March 8, 1991)
