Mark, I don't know if I ever told you this, but Peyton Place is the only other 'soap' that I would purchase in a complete set after our beloved Dark Shadows. I watched it during its original run with my mom, who was really into it. Perhaps not coincidentally, it was she who also got me into Dark...

Marc, Please contribute! After all, you truly are a Collins -- perhaps a great grandson of Elizabeth?

Charles, I wish I were! Have a great time. :) I subscribe to the Newsletter and belong to the DVD Club. I've also seen the estate (now Salve Regina); I wish I had seen the Old House before it burned down. I still want to get to the Black Pearl (a.k.a. The Blue Whale) one of these days...

I can't wait to see this show again. Only another week or two, and my sets -- yes, sets -- will arrive.

Those images are IMO breathtaking. Thanks to all for posting them. I don't have my set yet, but I will soon.

As one person on this Board who has watched a considerable amount of Dark Shadows, I can assure you that I will be doing my part and purchasing at least two copies of every Peyton Place issue.

Jack, In my opinion, you could do a whole lot worse than watching these two fine shows. May I come over? Just kidding. ;)

That's all very interesting information. I remember when Victoria Winters (A. Moltke) left Dark Shadows. The show wasn't the same, but I still enjoyed many of the story lines that occurred after her departure. I don't remember too much of Peyton Place after Allison left. It is very possible...

This is one series that I hope sells really well. I wonder if such a show would appeal to a younger (say, 20-30 year old) audience? I have no idea.

Stephen, Thanks, that's very helpful (Peyton Place and the concept of seasons). I don't see Shout! abandoning this series. If they do it right, I'll be picking up two copies of each collection. As far as your last paragraph is concerned, this is one series that I won't be booting, for both...

Charles, Any idea what Peyton Place - Part I means? I see that the collection consists of 720 min. (12 hours). Is this one half of a season, a complete season, or something else? I'd rather not take a guess. Thanks.

I'm really pleased that this is occurring, and that Shout! is handling it. I am even more pleased that the full-screen b&w video for the first two seasons is, according to the link, going to be used. I wouldn't purchase the set if the b&w seasons were colorized. As I've mentioned before, I...

^^^ Thanks for the info. BTW, I checked out the Peyton Place link you provided. It's very informative. Oddly, though, it lists 524 half-hour episodes. I'll settle for only 514 of them on DVD, however. ;) I'm getting lost on the Peyton Place page. So many memories are coming back to me--Ed...

Charles Ellis et al., Peyton Place is one of only two soaps I would consider purchasing if it was eventually released on DVD. I'm a fan of Dark Shadows, and I did watch episodes of Peyton Place during its original run, as my parents loved the show. Please keep us updated here if and when it...
