So who is waiting for the next season of Downton Abbey?

Will Sybil finally get married? Will Mr. Bates get released from prison? Who murdered Mrs. Bates. Will anyone ever notice the middle sister, whatever her name is?

Funnily enough, I have never watched it. I don't really like the way it reinforces stereotypes about UK. We never lived as depicted in costume dramas, and modern Britain is entirely different.

There are much better, modern dramas. Do you get Wallender?

No but I have watched "In the Thick of It". Still trying to decide if it is a comedy or not. When did I say that I didn't like British imports? I watched "On the Buses" and " Doctor, Doctor" when I was a kid. "Fawlty Towers" and, of course, "Monty Python's Flying Circus" when I was older. My mother is still a big fan of "Are you Being Served" and "Keeping up Appearances" though I am not too crazy about the latter. How many American TV shows started as a British import?
As for Downton Abby, my favorite character has to be the dowager Maggie Smith. She is sharp and completely upper crust. Like when she asked what "spare time" is after they interviewed the doctor and he told them what he did in his "spare time" when he was not working. Of the scheming for her youngest granddaughter's Irish, socialist, car driving husband. She wants to help his writing career take off and then the right people could get him into parliment.
I tried my best to resist Abbey-fever but it got the best of my. Damn you HULU Plus!

When is the new season due to premiere?
Couldn't get into it.... The cadence of that show is just too
1st gear for me.

Watching this show in their trailer is more amusing than the
show itself.

Another below the belt comment from UB...as long as you're down there let me whip this out for ya.

FYI, my mother is going to be 84 in a week and I think she could probably kick your nasty little ass.
