I re-watched both seasons of Downton Abbey, and enjoyed it even more the second time around. What I find fascinating about the show is that everyone I’ve talked to that has watched it, likes it. I have not heard a single person say, “Oh yes, I watched it and couldn’t stand it.” I’m not saying there aren’t people like that out there, but I haven’t encountered any of them.
In fact, the appreciation for the show seems to have spread into every area. I know people who like it who watch shows like American Idol and others who only watch PBS shows. I applaud Julian Fellowes, the writer and producer of Downton Abbey, for coming up with a story line that is compelling and appealing to so many people.
If you haven’t yet watched the show, you should give it a try at your earliest convenience. If you have watched the show, feel free to share your opinions on it!

I have nothing against the show, but it’s so much fun to mispronounce the name as “Downtown Abbey” and watch diehard fans twitch with rage.

That is funny! I like to try to say “Downton” in Carson’s voice. Of course, I never get close, but it’s fun trying!
