If you have not seen or want to catch up on the series, all four episodes of season 1 are available to watch online for free (until February 22, 2011).  The online videos from PBS are high quality and the series is very entertaining, especially if you are snowed in (like moi!)

    OMG! Downton Abbey! Last week I happened to catch the last few minutes of Episode 3 (channel flip, then "are those Edwardian dinner gowns?"), so I devoured them online. Episode 4 has me wondering what will happen next and how the war will effect the upstairs and downstairs. Oh, goodness--I don't think I can wait a year for season 2 to come to the states!

  2. @Heidilea I know a year is so far away. At first I was worried I would forget all the details of everyone's story by then! I will have to re-watch them maybe in November!
