im so dissapointed the series didnt continue... i actuall loved it was such a good series.... no ending... awwwwww

I too watched the old series but BEN CROSS became Barnabas! He made Barnabas real and someone I could actually empathize with, even when he got PO'd! Johnny Depp will not beat this guy in that role, and if Tim Burton makes it dark and crappy to where nobody can empathize WITH Barnabas, that movie is going to go down like the Titanic. Ben Cross should at the very least be asked to portray the father of Barnabas in the new movie...THEN I'd definitely go see it. I mean it! If Ben Cross isn't in it, I'm waiting for the freaking DVD! The only way I see Johnny Depp is as the freaking pirate! ARGH!I liked the way the characters played past and present parts too...Some of the British shows do that anyway. Ben Cross, Jean Simmons and Michael Weiss were the bomb...I never heard of Joanna Going, even after this...

I watched all 12 episodes in 2 days. The only thing that I thought was lame was that they used all the same characters to play the parts in the present and in the past. Were they broke or stupid? Or perhaps it just wasn't very well thought out when it was written and they ended up having more parts 200 years ago than in the present, so they wanted to use the same people. Since the show didn't make any more series I would say this was their down fall. If you can get past this fact then the show is very good. Obviously or I wouldn't have watched one right after another for the past 2 days. The final episode begs for another. It is obvious this series had no real ending.
