In my opinion the greatest tv show ever. Originally aired as a soap opera on ABC from 1966-1971. It told the story of Victoria Winters, a young woman raised in an orphanage, who goes to work for the wealthy Collins family as governess to young son David. About a year into the show the character of Barnabas Collins was introduced, a 175 year old vampire, who causes havoc in the town of Collinsport. There were also timetravel storylines, werewolf storylines, witchcraft, creation of man, parallel time,etc. And this was on ABC after General Hospital and The Edge of Night. So successful it spawned 2 feature films, a1991 revival series on NBC, and rumored to be a big screen production starring Johnny Depp and directed by Tim Burton. The original series starred Joan Bennett, Jonathan Frid, Nancy Barrett, Louis Edmonds, David Hennessey, Grayson Hall, Joel Crothers, and Alexandra Moltke. God Bless MPI Home Video for releasing the entire series, all 1245 episodes, in 32 volumes eachwith 40 half hour episodes. The absolute greatest series in television history!!!
