122 days

... until I can properly return to Downton.

And after seeing this,
I have lost all capacity for rational thought.

Ok, so don't get mad when I ask this, but what is this tv show? I've never heard of it before? And what channel does it come on? :)

of course, i won't get mad at you. :)

'downton abbey' (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1606375/) is a (masterpiece) british drama that comes on pbs. there are, currently, two seasons. it begins with the sinking of the titanic and goes through ww1 - chronically the lives of the family living in a manor house in england, and their staff. it's addicting, it's insightful, it's simply wonderful.

the new season starts this month in the uk; however, we americans have to wait until january 6th. my rampant enthusiasm and public posting is due to my current quest to convert people to it's goodness - i want to have a party for the season premiere :) . not many in my circle already watched. you can watch the first season on netfix. the entire series is on hulu plus (which you have to pay for, as well). season 1 and 2 are on dvd (i've only found them in stores at target) - they're not 'cheap' per se, but worth the buy, frankly, if it's something you like.

i *highly* recommend (just get through the little 'thing' that comes up in the very first episode, that requires a bit of brain bleach). :)

love you!

*chronicling

i guess when i say 'insightful', i mean it's insightful to *me*. because i like learning about their lifestyle. i may just be a nerd that way ... in fact, i know i am. ;)

it's still very addicting, and very well done.

AND ... i'm sure that there are other places online that you could watch. i just haven't really researched it since i have the dvds, and have had folks borrow those. (yet another reason why i wish you were closer ... you could borrow my set)

haha That sounds like a great series. I will have to try and watch it sometime. Thanks for introducing me. :)
