Anybody else turning in their man cards tonight?

"Downton Abbey" returns; I have to admit that I'm far more excited for it than the NFL playoff games.

I just watched the season premiere. Great show, but I must have missed the last episode of season II. I thought Mary and Matthew were each engaged to different people.

You should check out the new Upstairs Downstairs. I hadn't realized how much of a knock off Downton Abbey was of the old Upstairs Downstairs. Both show are worth watching.

You must have missed "Christmas at Downton Abbey," which took place after season 2.

It's on the DVR. I got hooked mid-season last year. The girlfriend was watching it and I had been fiddling around on the computer through a few episodes and the next thing I knew I was hooked.

Me too. I didn't know anything about it but saw that there was an episode Friday night. Recorded it and turned out to be the Christmas Episode. Got lucky.

I have a friend, no I swear to you it is not me, that was photographed by the local public radio station at the Downtown Abbey premiere party up here as the person wearing the best representative costume/outfit. He will never have his man card returned.

That being said, my wife and I were just saying this morning that we wish we had watched that show but just don't seem to have the time.

I'll be turning mine in next week, as I settle in for Season 2 of Lena Dunham's fascinating (IMO) Girls

I'm a fan of that show as well.

Love Downton Abbey. For my money it is the best show not on a pay channel like HBO or Showtime.

There's a 90 minute Christmas episode after season 3 as well (the 9th episode). I've seen it, but don't want to even hint at what happens.
