The 1% want to recreate the earlier seasons of this show where they have all kinds of awesome servants.
Adam Smith once said that the sign of a thriving economy was that people couldn’t afford a full staff of servants as there were too many other interesting forms of industry and commerce going on.
Smith is often held up up as the spokesperson for a wholly unregulated economy. This is an oversimplification. Smith might be very sympathetic to Occupy.
Seen it with christmas… high quality but…
* SPOILERALERT*
any uptight sexual frustration or verbidden relation, don’t matter how cliche is and must happen in this serie. you think of it, it must and will happen. once everything is sooo twisted, that you can only see it as a pure acting school. no offence, a high quality one.
Season 1 is the best. Season 2 is decidedly soap-opera-y, meaning that it totally works if you’re willing to suspend disbelief for sixty minutes every week.

I love the show, too. Becoming a bit soap-ish, though. Still, wouldn’t miss it.

Is it so much to ask to have my newspaper ironed in the morning?

I do love it, and I especially love Violet. The Queen of Putdowns.
Except….Bates has begun to really get on my nerves.

Oh, it’s brilliant.

Fans may have already seen this but if you haven’t its a wonderful spoof on if Spike TV showed DT Abbey instead of PBS. Really amuses me…
