Dark Shadows worked in the 1960's because nothing was ever seen on american television like it.
Angel was an established show with a huge following. But like so many times before network execs traded greatness for Kuso. Jordan Levin was supposedly the driving force behind replacing Angel with Dark Shadows. Smart move.
Dark Shadows could've worked ten years ago. When we were ingnorant to vampiric mobsters or vamp foo. Since the emergence of Angel and the short lived Kindred. Vampires on television and what fans expect from them would be changed forever. For me personally, after watching Angel even Forever Knight seemed lame.
Dark Shadows with its soap opera themes would've seemed slow and depressing when compared with shows like Angel and the foolishly cancelled, Kindred.
Dark Shadows should've remained in the shadows. Existing only as we remember it forty years ago.
