The CSM review of darkplace actually made me feel pretty, darn annoyed... They've take then show into a COMPLETLY different context...Its NOT SUPPOSED TO BE SCARY...its supposed to be corny and cheesy, which it manages well (and is very funny!). The violence is overdone and stupid, which adds to the comedy (in the episode 'scotch mist' a possesed bagpipe attacks the main character...im trembling just thinking about it... -.-) Honestly CSM, if you take the media that your supposed to be reviwing fairly and watch it in a way that its not supposed to be viewed, you're going to get an UNFAIR review. You didnt really state that it was supposed to be funny and the review kept mentioning 'young children being disturbed'. This show isn't meant to be watched by 'young children' so why say that? Its probably on at a time where it is IMPOSSIBLE for 'young children' to watch it...In short, the review by CSM is rubbish and unfair, the show is good, and if you watch it, you'll see what i mean! Thanks for reading...

What Parents Need to Know
About Garth Marenghi's Darkplace
Parents need to know that although this creepy show is ultimately a spoof, it has some very disturbing images that are inappropriate for children. Though many of the effects are obviously fake, the copious quantities of blood, the sudden camera angle shifts, and the grating sound effects all combine to create some startling scenes that could give anyone bad dreams.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about ghosts and telepathic powers. Darkplace Hospital is a magnet for the spirit world, attracting all kinds of demons, ghosts, and spirits, many of whom aren't in a good mood. One of the characters possesses strong psychic abilities, which helps the cast battle evil, but also makes her especially vulnerable to the powers of the underworld. Do you believe in spirits and extrasensory abilities? Why or why not? Families can also talk about the nature of spoofs -- is parodying something a form of mockery or a tribute? Or some of each?
