Also, I don't know if the USA lags behind... Anyway, the new series starts this Sunday the 18th! Only thing bothering me is the lack of Gwen I do hope Thomas hooks up with a wounded soldier or something <3 Last Edited By: HumongousBitch 09/13/11 03:12 PM. Edited 1 time.

Just PBS editing them into four 90 minute episodes whereas ITV aired them in 7 episodes of varying lengths... So obviously the pacing and the cliffhangers can suffer. This is a very interesting read on the matter! http://www.televisionaryblog.com/2011/01/in-defense-of-downton-abbey-or-dont.html Last Edited By: HumongousBitch 09/13/11 04:20 PM. Edited 1 times.

Here is an article about the show: http://beta.radiotimes.co...ord-for-critical-reviews FInd out which Downton Abbey character you are! http://www.guardian.co.uk.../downton-abbey-character My results: You are the Dowager Countess of Grantham, Violet Crawley (Maggie Smith). You do not suffer fools gladly. In fact you do not suffer anything at all because you refuse to entertain any form of discomfort in your life whatsoever. Last Edited By: Maleia1 09/13/11 05:40 PM.

The Upstairs/Downstairs style show created by Oscar-winning writer Julian Fellowes (pictured) scored a stonking 92 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic. This means reviewers from around the globe rated it more highly than any other TV show in 2010. Other shows to have won the honour include Mad Men and Modern Family but Downton Abbey is the first Brit show to do so. On accepting the award, Downton Abbey executive producer Gareth Neame said: “It is significant that this is the first time a British TV show has been so highly received around the world, confirming the UK’s status as the home of world-class drama.” The WWI set drama starring Maggie Smith, Hugh Bonneville and Elizabeth McGovern returns to the small screen on Sunday for its second series. read more: http://www.tntmagazine.co...cords.aspx#ixzz1Y0tPk9VC

Older sister did something to insult middle sister, and then middle sister went nuclear with the dead Turk. But older sister started it -- if anybody remembers what it was, I'd appreciate a reminder. That spoof above is hilarious! I recognized Kim Cattrall and Simon Callow, but else was in there? They all look familiar.

Full cast: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1867525/combined Be sure to watch part 2 of that spoof. Also, clearly the middle sister is envious of the oldest, and she in turn only makes it worse by belittling her. A vicious cycle it is. I love the dynamics because they are villainous but you root for them both.
