Second, I just watched the first two episodes of season one of Downton Abby (free streaming for Amazon Prime!). Emma was forced to watch them too. She had trouble following it (probably because she was multi-tasking) but I loved it. Even if I do still think of it as Downtown Abby. I always have to correct myself in my head.
And --how is it that Hugh Bonneville and Colin Firth are not related?! They have the same eyes!
I agree with you completely about our online community!
ReplyDeleteHugh seems like Colin's big brother. I've been finding so many great British dramas on Netflix. I just finished Call the Midwife.
If you watch DA on DVD, you can turn on the closed captioning and read along with the dialog.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, j'adore our online community.
I have developed a mini-obsession with Downton Abbey. But I'm still on Season 2 - watching a DVD my friend lent me. I am trying to figure out why I like it, and I think I have figured out that it is the wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteOkay, your endorsement means I officially have to watch it. And finding your blog is one of my happy's from 2012!
ReplyDeleteI need to watch it. (No one to see it with makes it hard for me to commit on my own.)
ReplyDeleteI love our blogging community, and I love you even more for posting a picture of Colin Firth tonight!
I call it Downtown Abby too. We watched the Christmas special and then just jumped right in with season 3. One of these days we'll go back and watch the first two.
ReplyDeleteI also meant to say how much I like this blogging community. It's just that I was mesmerized by the picture of Colin Firth.
ReplyDeleteToday Lillie and I are hard at work composing our recap of Episode Four--all y'all get caught up so you can read it on Monday. I admit we are losing a little of our initial steam but perhaps it's just because Episode Three was so gloomy. (Karen, you DO have someone to watch it with--US.)
