Did "Dark Shadows" have a storyline based on Frankenstein? IIRC, the
creature in the series was more similar to the one in Mary Shelley's
novel because he became articulate and cultured. Is this true?

Um, this sounds like you already knew the answer to both questions?

As others noted, you seem to answer your own question.

There isn't much in DS from the Universal movie version of
Frankenstein, true. Adam is the tribute to that, and yes, it's closer
in many ways to the novel.

Is it just me, or was the Adam story arc the most boring of DS
periods? 40 years later and that's the main thing that stands out
about it for me.

Me, I thought that the parallel time stories were a bit dull...and in
'our' time line, I found the Leviathan storyline interminable, until
the very end when Nick and Angie liven things up agian.

I always wanted to see Adam return, educated, sophisticated, and one
of the good guys.

Yes. I forgot how it ended, but I think he went into the other room
to get a coat and was never seen again.

I don't remember that story ending like that, but it sure had to have
been a relief at the time. Adam -to us kids- was one of the most
average, boring monsters of all time!

IT still is. I don't know which is worse, Adam or the Leviathans.
