Watch: Post Downton

Now that the third season of Downton has finished are you going through a little withdrawal? Are you just feeling a little sad? We my friends I have a few recommendations to help with the pain.

If you . . .

Are really into the writing, watch Julian Fellows' feature film Gosford Park, bonus it includes the delightful Maggie Smith playing a very Violet like lady. 

Need more Mr. Bates in your life, check out Lark Rise to Candleford. 

Want to see more of Matthew and Mary together, even if they aren't Matthew and Mary: In their pre-Downton days Dan Stevens and Michelle Dockery were in the BBC mini series presentation of The Turn of The Screw (you can't seem to find this on DVD, but you can find it in parts on YouTube).

Love Anna the very, very, very most, watch a younger Joanne Froggett in Island At War. 

Are really excited about the addition of Rose and spending more time enjoying the roaring 20s, try watching Bright Young Things. 

Would actually like a break from all things Downton, join me in watching Hart of Dixie, it is nothing like Downton!

Watch: Bunheads

Has anyone else checked out the new ABC Family show Bunheads yet? I watched it last night and found it to be all together adorable. It is from the creator of Gilmore Girls (and has GG's own Kelly Bishop as an old school dance teacher!) so you know it is going to have quirky fast talking ladies and a town full of oddfellows. You can still check out the pilot episode on Hulu!
Let me know what you think. I know I'll be watching.

Fly the friendly skies

I am oddly (okay not that oddly I do love me some TV) excited for this new show airing in the fall. I was once asked to describe "my decor style" and all I could come up with was that I thought my apartment looked like it would be the home of a 1960's flight attendant. What do you think would you watch a show set in the by gone years where you had to be an unmarried woman under the age of 32 to strut up and down the plane isle? Will it fill your Mad Men fix?
