Downton Abbey

I heard something funny the other day: they had a segment on an NPR program that featured linguists who enjoyed trying to spot phrases used in Downton Abbey that were not actually "invented" at that point in time (such as "step on it" and "I'm just saying..."). At one point, a comic described the segment like "This is NPR beating up on PBS. It's nerd-on-nerd violence." Cracked me up! :)
 
I've never even heard about it until now... where have I been? :whistle
 
I LOVE this show!! I think some of you know that as I have posted on FB about it! It's AWESOME! so sad I have to wait so long for season 3!!!!
 
I started it a few weeks ago, and my dh and I watched season 1 in two nights on netflix. I bought most of season 2 on Amazon (through the tv)...love love love...totally obsessed...and so is my dh. We can't wait for season 3!!!

here's my layout because I was so obsessed

I do not get this way with shows...I can barely sit down and watch one episode of a show...let alone 4 or so in a row each night!


Love this Deb!!!

I love, love, love Matthew. :drool

and Maggie Smith...she cracks me up :giggle

and then I had to do up a thing on it for my project life layout too:
 
okie. hearing so much about this show.
can i watch it on netflix since i've missed it all?
 
you can watch season 1 on netflix. :) You can watch season 2 on the PBS site I was told plus you can buy it on dvd :)
 
If you don't have netflix, you can find season 1 on DVD too.. I know cuz I ordered it and had it sent to my mom!
 
i've started watching it now, because of this thread :p

i'm in the middle of season two right now, and i find my self crying and laughing and what not at the same time! :giggle

great show indeed! :beat

I watched all of Season 1 on Amazon in two days this week. Love it! Tempted to order Season 2...though DH wants me to wait for our turn at the library.

Oooo! Thanks for this! I always forget to check the Amazon Instant video!! I had put it in my Netflix queue but it's a "very long wait", so this is perfect!
