A.E.F. said...: Admiral, My great aunt (back in the old country) has been sending me snippets of a debate raging in the pages of the Daily Telegraph regarding the way Downton Abbey has been 'dumbed down' for an American audience. Apparently 2 of the 8 hours have been cut to spare us from storylines deemed too complex for underevolved New World sensibilities...; 09 January, 2011 13:29
Soxtory said...: I watched the first episode and deemed it excellent.

My friend Taki thinks Julian Fellowes is a fake snob and has some supporting reasons in his column but I say so far so good.

Richard said...: LBF - I went to the website featuring the show Downtown Abbey. When I attempted to watch an episode, it said if was for viewing only in Great Britain. How does a commoner like me get to view this show? I watch very little tv, but this looks appealing.; 11 January, 2011 17:39
Laguna Beach Fogey said...: Richard ~ The series is published over the airwaves on public television on Sunday evenings. But you can buy the DVD, or watch Episode 1 here online:
