DARK SHADOWS Bloopers 1 NEW

[@elizabethmizell2425]

I love Louis Edmonds. His bloopers are hysterical and he is so smooth! 😂

[@thomaspiccirillo6820]

Ty my dad was a video engineer on DS I knew Louis very well

[@bramlintrent1145]

He goes halfway around the world to correct his blunders, and that just makes them more obvious. lol.

[@demonseed032]

Nothing more fun than watching and waiting for a live flub. I was easily entertained as a child. Loved JF.

[@oakroyal]

It was hilarious when Dana Elcar had to apologize that he was out of cups😆

This Was An After School Special For Me.

[@kurtb8474]

The professionalism of the actors was impressive. That they can stay in character and save the scene after flubbing up. I've seen stage actors do the same.

[@chillbuddy4178]

Some of these flubs sound exactly like people searching for the right words to say in real life

[@auboy77]

exactly, that and the sets/ props not always cooperating gives the show a verisimilitude that is unique in the history of film / tv as those “mistakes” are almost always caught and edited out. we may never see this again unless its purposely done.

[@fossefan]

Nancy Barrett is so adorable when she's trying to remember her line at about 2:55.

[@pianoman551000]

Yes! but she recovered nicely as the other actors did!

[@MrCraigblaze]

Jonathan Frid couldn't remember his lines to save his life !!!😂😂

[@demonseed032]

He suffered from dyslexia all of his life.

[@shannonbennett987]

Live tv was hard. I kind of like when they get tongue tied, to me it makes it more realistic. That happens in real life all the time.

[@stephaniestavropoulos1639]

I would have to say my top three fave "bloopers" are: During the closing credits of one the episodes: Collinwood living/drawing room, Jonathan comes on camera and picks up his clothes. 2. There are one or two, a few that shows flies, # 3 Barnabas picking his nose!

[@thomaspiccirillo6820]

My sad was a video engineer on DS Louis Edmonds was a great actor and a dear friend of mine

[@jusssayin480]

It was funny when Kathryn Leigh Scott (Maggie Evans) giggled when Mitchell Ryan called her Peggy. I think he was confused by her giggle though - LOL.

[@jsat5609]

Great video! Thanks for uploading. A word about the way DS was shot. It was videotaped "live to tape," which means it was recorded in advance, as the slate at the opening of the video shows, but it was recorded as if it were a live show. The first electronic video tape editor wasn't introduced until about 1970, which explains why so many programs were recorded on tape in the 70's. It was possible to edit videotape in the 1950's and 1960's, as the absence of bloopers from some prime time network variety shows, and the videotaped episodes of the Twilight Zone show, but the editing had to be done manually, but cutting and splicing the videotape and it was a meticulous, tedious and time consuming process, not suited for daily shows which were, at best on a tight and demanding schedule.

[@julienielsen3746]

Thanks for the info.

[@pattibrooks1907]

They recorded live that s why there was so many flubs and mistakes Lara said it was a live show !

[@robjohnson8861]

I bet it was mostly because of the time schedule. 1225 eps in 6 years. They would have gone crazy to redo and redo.

[@robjohnson8861]

@@pattibrooks1907 From Amazon book about Dark Shadows goofs "Dark Shadows was produced live in sequence, without stopping to correct any mistakes. " meaning what John eluded to. They could have corrected the mistakes, but chose not to. Just redo the scene, and slice the bad one out of the tape.

[@1Harpdude]

I have heard (perhaps it's just an apocryphal story with no truth) but the only time they ever "looped" a line on the original DS show (and doing audio looping was incredibly expensive) was where Joan Bennet accidentally said "Hollywood" instead of "Collinwood." Can you imagine?? I.e. "Roger, take me back to Hollywood!"

[@bramlintrent1145]

"Who was her legal, um, retain, um respond, um ... her lawyer?"

[@randeepatillo1982]

Louis Edmonds was great at improvising after his flubs.

[@jusssayin480]

Dark Shadows was not aired live. It was taped but it was too expensive to do retakes unless something really bad happened so they left in all these bloopers.

[@pattibrooks1907]

Loved The bloopers they did on Dark Shadows all those flubs and mistakes!

[@1Harpdude]

And they NEVER broke character!

[@mikebull7775]

I know I'm way late seeing this but thanks for uploading this. What memories from being a kid in the 60s and 70s!! Some of the actual scenes that made it to broadcast weren't much better but still loved the show!!

[@ameliareaganwright2758]

Good Lord! I never noticed until now how so many lines were flubbed! LOL!!!

The show is now airing on Decades TV. Go to their website, decades.com and check the listings for your area. It's a wonderful channel.

@@gilbertogarcia2794you can also watch the entire series on Tubi.

[@kenbob1071]

I bought the entire series in the coffin box...it's so cool. The edge of each DVD case when aligned in the coffin in proper order forms the image of Barnabas lying in the coffin. I recall watching the show after school when I was young boy. I liked the vampire stuff and the pretty ladies didn't hurt. I remember begging my Mom to see the Dark Shadows movie and her telling me it would be too scary, but I didn't listen. Of course when I went to the theater I was so scared I couldn't look at the screen...lol.

At the beginning of this, ABC's Bob Lloyd, who announced the early "Dark Shadows" episodes, rehearses a sponsor billboard copy before reading the production slate. How cool was that?

Did he do the episode end voiceover 'Dark Shadows is a Dan Curtis Production ' ?? that voice goes soo well with it

Also beautiful young .

[@Allabouttvandmovies]

Most of them took their flubs seriously. a few broke out in a laugh. Im sure a lot were never available with the cuss words. Lol

[@julienielsen3746]

I was watch Dark Shadows for the first time today. Was this live at the time it was on TV in some of the black and white ones? I was watching for the first time on TV today, and heard some mistakes in the dialog. Like Barnabas saying "isn't one much can do about it." And few others where you could tell the actors were stumbling over their lines a little.

[@66collinwood]

It was done live on tape. They unusually never stopped the tape unless there was a major goof on the show!

[@mattb6369]

It was almost always one take, very rarely they did more than one, so for all intents and purposes it was live to tape.

[@sturoc0]

THe beautry of this is most of the line flubbs could be actually a real onversation in everyday life. How many times have you forgotten a word or veered off topic . Especially if you are nervous talking to a few peple trying to convey directions etc. That said you can learn how to deal with that from DS's master of recovery Roger saying @ 1:16 ' when i got to that big curve about a 100 miles, 100 miles, seemed like a 100 miles..." Louis Edmonds- the master of redirect !'

[@rickydoodlebug]

Hahahahahaha! Roger was the best!

[@elysenordby6200]

Joan Collins flubbed her lines more than anyone! It was filmed "live" with no room for error! Sometimes the consequences were gut-splitting hilarious!

[@BlookbugIV]

These seem very minor, but I’m guessing if they messed up more than that they rewound the VT and did another take.

[@kenbob1071]

From what I understand, they didn't have the time or budget to redo many scenes.
