I saw the trailer from Ellen and am disappointed as far as "our" Dark Shadows is concerned. The fact that both Johnny and Tim are supposedly big fans of the original leads one to expect something more like what we are used to. But, if we put aside our expectations for "Dark Shadows," and just take it that the characters' names and relationships are the same, and that Angelique made him a vampire, but otherwise just take it as a new vampire movie and watch it on its own terms, it could turn out to be good. Seeing this ahead of time, so as not to watch it with the expectation of it being like the series, one can put aside those ideas and just watch it and see what it turns out to be.
I really didn't notice much humor. I suppose one could consider his reaction to television to be humorous. After reading some of the other comments here, I do recall a few "one liners" which are somewhat humorous, but nothing seemed that funny for me to really think of it as full of humor.
