What to watch when Downton Abbey is over….

Downton Abbey Guilt
Yeah…guilt. I’m thrilled with the new season! I could hardly contain myself that first night in January when I clicked in the PBS channel number. I had already scheduled the recorder days before. I was taking NO chances. The dishes … Continue reading
Conversations of the Downton Abbey sort

Downton Abbey 101
Are you feeling lost and left out? Did you miss the first two seasons? *Gasp. You’re kidding right?!!!* Or…do you live with a less-than-enthusiastic spouse who would rather have a root canal than sit down with you and actually watch … Continue reading
If you haven’t already, watch this!!
Downton Abbey. We’re into the second season on PBS’s Masterpiece series, which aired in the UK last fall. It’s a must see. The characters are wonderful. The acting is outstanding! Hugh Bonneville is very Colin Firthish to me. Their voices … Continue reading
