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.
Sheri, No it isn't over yet. I think it is about halfway through. But when the hour is over on Sunday nights, I just say.....is that all????? I just want it to go for at least 2-3 hours!! I believe there are 6 shows in the series.
Probably not until next January, I am guessing. It shows earlier in the UK - in Sept? I want MORE Downton Abbey. I guess it is better to leave people wanting rather than to make them tired of it!
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.
I thought about the DVD for just about a minute. I look forward to Sunday night now. Even the husband loves it and we watch the same TV while it is on.
I just finished watching Season 1 and 2. Rick has watched from the beginning.
It is so good. Can't wait to start season 3! I am watching it on Demand (comcast).
Hi Lucile...I agree, I might buy it later, but love watching in on PBS..I record it but usually watch it while it airs. Best show. I got a little depressed watching MidWife and decided not to watch it anymore.
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.
Evelyn, it is scheduled for next week too in our OPB guide. Says it is the finale next week. Our OPB guide says it is only on for an hour tonight, yet the guide on the TV says it is on for two hours tonight. So have no clue what is going on there.
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.
Lucile...I see according to my tv guide, that the rerun from last week is on from 7 to 8 o'clock and then the new one is on from 8 to 10 o'clock. ( this is chicago time zone, you might be an hour ahead of me...not sure.)
