Oh, it's on Netflix!? I don't get to see it but hear people talking about it all the time, and wish I could see it! I never think to look for things on Netflix! Gonna check it out! I heard last nights episode was a BIG tearjerker!

Oh, Stacey, it WAS a tearjerker - totally didn't see it coming. For those of you just starting to watch the first season, I don't think you will be disappointed! I just wish it went on longer. I think this has been my favorite TV series ever. Well, then there is Castle. And Big Bang Theory. My favorites for the past few years. :)

Did anyone get the DVD of season 3 yet? I got it the other day and have been rewatching the episodes that have already aired on PBS and there is a scene that was on PBS that isn't on the disc. It is the one where Isobel visits Ethel at her house and as she knocks on the door a man comes out. I am wondering if there are any other scenes cut out. There was a complaint about that on Amazon. I don't understand why they would do that. I did get the UK version from AmazonUK, but have not been able to watch it with VCL like others have been able to do.

I just don't understand why PBS would show some scenes on TV and then cut them from the DVD. Reading some reviews last night many claim that season 1 was drastically edited and some story lines would flow better had they not. Oh well, I agree with you as long as I can watch a version I am happy.

Linda, VCL is a video player that I downloaded. There were many people who have purchased the UK DVD's (region 2) and were able to watch them that way. I wasn't having any success doing that. I dug out an old laptop of my daughters and changed the region on it and will watch the DVD I purchased from AmazonUK on that. After you watch 4 dvd's the region changes permanently. The computer isn't used so I will keep it for Downton Abbey watching.

DON"T READ IF YOU DID NOT WATCH LAST WEEKS EPISODE JAN 27!!!

Just so you all know- I finished watching season 3 on the UK disc I bought. It does not have the Christmas special so I am only 2 episodes ahead-tonights and next weeks-well, there were 2 scenes cut from both the UK and US discs that were shown on PBS. They aren't really important. The one I mentioned about Isobel visiting Ethel at her home in my earlier post and one from last week where the servants are downstairs and mention finding a woman who has given birth in the village and is willing to nurse Sybils child. I am going to watch tonight on PBS just because I am curious as to whether any other scenes were cut.

I watch Call the Midwife! I love it. I found the first episode depressing but gave it another try and now I'm hooked. I find it very sweet. I watched Downton Abbey this season for the first time. I was a little bored with it. Maybe because I haven't seen the previous seasons and don't know the back stories.

I like Call the Midwife also. There is another one that so far I haven't seen the first of about a village Dr that I like. I only find it when I am surfing. My bigest problem with the British shows is that with my hearing or early alzimers (I am not sure which), I have trouble understandings some of the words and have to ask what did so and so say.

I expect that they are showing last week the first our and the the new one the second hour. At least that is what has been happening here. I was glad last week. The week before the last thirty minutes was interupted by company, so I got to see what I missed before the newest show came on the last hour.
