Apparently I am the only one in the WORLD who has not seen Downton Abbey? Everyone is raging about the New Season starting and I am just finding out I have already missed the first two! This is right up my alley since I love just about every Masterpiece Theater Show, especially the mini series. I also LOVE everything in this time period and Marie Antoinette (see my Pinterest collection) I have been so busy and don’t watch television that often so I have been missing out on something truly wonderful. If I can only figure out how to get my husbands television to entertain something other than every sport imaginable, people digging for gold and making illegal moonshine. (LOL) I REALLY want an opportunity to see this show. I have a laptop so I can see whatever I want, but the problem is that it is physically and mentally impossible for me to not multitask at all times. Most often if I want to catch up on a television show (New Girl and Duck Dynasty), or talk to family long distance I will purposely save a few loads of laundry to do while I talk. And if I do watch a movie on TV, I will be working on my blog or writing at the same time. I am just that way…I can’t waste time E-V-E-R!
So I am thinking of buying the first two seasons to watch while I am painting furniture, cleaning the house or doing DIY projects. Anytime I buy something I always use Price Grabber to compare prices since they can vary so drastically and sure enough I just found a great deal there on season 1 of Downton Abbey for $23! The other prices shown were for both seasons one and two, but I am going to start with one and see what I think before buying both. (It is much cheaper to buy them individually too).
So, are you a fan of Downton Abbey?
Have I truly been missing something wonderful?
Who is your favorite character and why?
Without a spoiler – what should I look forward to in season one?
I can’t wait to watch it and become one of the fans!
It should be in the mail in a few days!!!
YAY!!
A show that I DO watch is DUCK DYNASTY!

You’ll have to let me know how it is. I’ve heard so much about it but can barely keep up with my one night of television watching as it is.

Actually, I think season 1 might be on Netflix. Go NOW and watch it — but you NEED seasons 1 and 2, because you will definitely want to watch the second one. It’s a great show. I’m anxiously awaiting my preordered Season 3 DVD!

I have never heard of the series either, but I have to laugh your hubby and mine could be perched on the same couch sounds like they don’t miss all the same programs..haha I love Duck Dynasty 🙂

They are on Netflix and Hulu! Watch them! Thomas is just awful and he won’t go away! Anna is wonderful. Matthew is pretty great too. I love Edith AFTER the war. You’re going to be hooked!
