But regardless, Jake 2.0 has infact been cancelled. Dark Shadows is actually a remake - the details of which I'm not sure. I'll do some research and let y'all know! __________________ "...five days ago I died. But then the really amazing thing happened...I came to life." | |||

| Hi *waves* Dark Shadows was a Gothic/Horror Soap Opera that aired in the 60's and 70's. It was about a young man named Barnabas Collins who was the member of the wealthiest colonial family in Maine, The Collinses, who founded the town the show takes place in, Collins' Port. Victory Winters is the reincarnation of the woman Barnabas was supposed to marry back in the 1700's. However, he was also lusted after by a powerful witch and family servant, Angelique. When Angelique was rejected by Barnabas, she cast a spell and damned him to eternity as a vampire. However, there are more to the Collinses than just money. Their family is steeped in withcraft and paranormal activity which makes one wonder what means they went to to make their vast family fortune in the first place. The show moves on to present day with the family occupying the new Collins estate, Collinwood, while the undead Barnabas lives in the old Collins mansion posing a distant cousin from Europe. The homes are not only occupied by reincarnations of the Collinses and Victory Winters, the nanny, but ghosts from the past (whether they be benevolent or evil), doorways to the past and the ghost of Barnabas' beloved sister who acts as a guide for the youngest Collins son. How do I know so much about this show? Because my mom was addicted to it when she was a kid. It was super popular in the 60's and 70's and has become a cult classic, with reruns sometimes airing on the Scifi Channel. I also like the old episodes and got to see them on TV. Also, this isn't the first Dark Shadows remake to air. I remember CBS or NBC doing a decent remake that I watched back in the early 90's, however, it didn't make it. I'm so happy that Matt is getting so much work. Good for him. Hopefully this will get picked up and it will be good show that will last. -Martinique | |||

| Hi *waves* You're welcome for the description Silversun. It may have some holes in it cause I did it from memory, but that's pretty much the jist of the show. Also, I found a website totally dedicated to the part Matt will play. Check out http://www.willieloomis.com for more info on Willie. -Martinique | |||

| Love YA and Matt but... following the cancellation of Angel I'm boycotting this decision to start broadcasting an updated version of Dark Shadows (WBs sad attempt to air a cheaper version of Ats). ~E. __________________ Eman [n.] (E-man): Faith icon ♥ | |||
