I comment on the humor in Dark Shadows episode #1150, some of which may well have been intentional.

Episode 1156: The Framing
In which I say that Lamar Trask is the funniest of all the Trasks.
Episode 1158: When One Deals with Judah Zachery, There Is No Margin for Error
I praise Elizabeth Eis’ portrayal of one of the most frequent roles on Dark Shadows, that of “person being strangled.”
Episode 1158: When One Deals with Judah Zachery, There Is No Margin for Error
Episode 1161: The Monster of Collinwood
I make some remarks about actresses Terry Crawford and Elizabeth Eis.
Episode 1166: The Proceedings
I put in a word for Lela Swift, director of about half of Dark Shadows’ episodes, and effectively a co-creator of the show.
Episode 1167: The English Way of Death
I get carried away and write five substantial paragraphs defending the proposition that you can’t watch Dark Shadows without creating fanfic of it. Nobody notices all the bloopers boom mic shadows, etc; we all mentally edit those things out as we watch.
Episode 1172: The Deck Chairs
Black characters I wish they’d had in Dark Shadows.
Time Travel, part 13: Total Blood Volume
In which I point out to Danny Horn and his readers that he has inadvertently solved a mystery that had puzzled him and them, revealing how the young Thayer David could have been “the handsomest man at Harvard,” as his classmate John Simon told Alexandra Moltke Isles he was.
Episode 1176: The Week Between
I go on at length about some of the imaginary recasting I would do in my head to keep myself awake during dull parts of the show.
Episode 1177: The Unfinished Dream
I chuckle at a silly moment in the episode.
