Love Miss Fisher and Downton Abbey but have stay joyfully ignorant of the differences between those pathetic Kardashians. <br /><br />Also thanks for the lovely performance from the beloved Miss Durbin. Have you ever seen the film the clip is from, Christmas Holiday? It's quite a bleak little number with Deanna as a euphemistically called "roadhouse hostess" and Gene Kelly as her mad dog killer husband with Mommy issues, Mommy being Gale Sondergaard! It's on Youtube in its entirety if you haven't.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7218985326921858943.post-48646250439744141522015-03-21T19:10:06.926-04:002015-03-21T19:10:06.926-04:00You've picked some winners.

Don't let the screen suck you in too deep, though. Even Ann Sothern, and I adore her, can be pushed too far.

Netflix is a blessing and a curse. <br /><br />Our recent faves have been the Brit version of Broadchurch, the Brit Sherlock with Mr. Cumberbatch, and House of Cards. Orange is the New Black and Call the Midwife are also delights.<br /><br />If you're taken with Downton Abbey, might I suggest reading along after each episode with my bloggy pals Tom & Lorenzo. They do solid criticism and wonderful (often hilarious) commentary. Check them out <a href="http://tomandlorenzo.com/tag/downton-abbey/" rel="nofollow"> over here"</a>.<br /><br />Do keep us posted on developments. News of any TV discoveries is always appreciated.

Let me know if you're interested and I'll send them off to you. She makes an excellent Liza Elliott even if she's overweight. Bambi Linn (of Oklahoma! dream ballet fame) is her dance double!<br /><br />At risk of overstepping boundaries, wasn't the consulting job what contributed to your health condition in the first place?Peter Lappinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109154527996679077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7218985326921858943.post-34460836453180616932015-03-21T07:26:51.362-04:002015-03-21T07:26:51.362-04:00If I were watching that much television, I'm c...If I were watching that much television, I'm certain I would have a relapse...

Which is fine with me, more bang for your buck! A few years ago I binge-watched all five seasons of Upstairs Downstairs in one week. Such are the joys of being unemployed and possibly insane. At any rate, it was even better than I remembered it, and Downton ups the ante. Sure it's a soap opera, but a fabulous one!<br /><br />When Pee-Wee's Playhouse originally aired, my boyfriend and I would often watch it while coming down from the acid we took the night before. To this day I'm convinced that's what the show was made for. Being able to catch an episode whenever one desires is indeed a perk of the digital age.<br /><br />Glad you've been spending your time wisely, my friend. I'd expect nothing less!Thombeauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14610129742797260253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7218985326921858943.post-65278992770489992502015-03-21T00:05:09.603-04:002015-03-21T00:05:09.603-04:00Kardashians?!?!?

I understand her fish-out-of-water chipperness is the joke, but it's an irritating one.<br /><br />Finally, for Downton, I'd go easy if I were you. It's all a down hill slog once they kill off the Turkish ambassador, and that's in the first episode.mrpeeneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13361948301941861890noreply@blogger.com
