saw the 5th? season of downton abbey. can't remember why i liked this show in the first place. seems now a kind of period fetish for anglophiliac pbs audiences. very little to look at since they killed the hot sister-- lady halfmoon and lady fishface are each annoying in their own way. the last entertaining character is the grandma who cracks me up. otherwise, super-dull and repetitive. i think this was supposed to last for 3 seasons only but after the initial success they've squeezed that tit until only sand comes out of it. it ends set up for a 6th season but why bother--just kill them all now.
