DOWNTON ABBEY PHOTOCAP: Heavens! There’s Been Mismanagement!

How much do I love Downton Abbey? Let me count the ways. Or actually, just take my word for it.

VIDEO: And Now The Jimmy Fallon Parody of ‘Downton Abbey’

I honestly love Downton Abbey parodies (the best being Downton Arbys). Now comes an entry from Jimmy Fallon. To be honest, I have no idea if this is a brand new skit or something that aired a few months ago. I just found it right now. Honestly, I haven’t even watched it. I just know …

VIDEO: ‘Downton Arby’s’ Is By Far The Best ‘Downton Abbey’ Parody Yet

I love me some Downton Abbey, and we’ve seen some spirited parodies over the past few months, including a rather funny, if overlong, video featuring various British comics and Kim Catrall (“Uptown Downstairs Abbey“).

DOWNTON ABBEY PHOTOCAP: All I Want For Christmas Is Downton!

Oh my gosh. Downton Abbey has wrapped up its second season, and I’m in official withdrawal. Literally, when the episode ended, I fantasized for a good five minutes about living in a lush, British country home replete with dark green walls, wooden accents, paintings of hunting dogs, and plaid as far as the eye can …

DOWNTON ABBEY PHOTOCAP: Four Weddings And A Funeral

PBS gave us quite the surprise on Sunday. Not one but two crazy hours of Downton Abbey, and they were crazy. The show at times verged on jumping the shark, what with its medical miracles and soapy romantic complications. That’s okay though. It was still highly entertaining, especially thanks to the Dowager Countess who spent …

DOWNTON ABBEY PHOTOCAP: Old Friends, New Faces

Things took a few preposterous turns on Downton Abbey this week. A man with a severely burned face claiming to be Patrick Crawley (the former heir who had died on the Titanic) surfaced at the estate, full of tales of amnesia and Canadian exile. No one really believed that this guy was Patrick Crawley, but …

DOWNTON ABBEY PHOTOCAP: The Episode When Everyone Cries

Everyone was crying on last night’s episode of Downton Abbey — even Violet, the Dowager Countess of Grantham! It was an emotional hour full of wrenching twists and turns. Even yours truly got a little misty-eyed at times. Nothing good can come of war, I tell you! Nothing at’all!

DOWNTON ABBEY PHOTOCAP: Another Soup Scandal ROCKS The Countryside!

Once again, a soup scandal ROCKED the world of Downton Abbey last night for the fourth time in seven episodes.

DOWNTON ABBEY PHOTOCAP: Another Soup Emergency! Heavens!

There was some serious drama on Downton Abbey last night. Cousin Isobel moved all sorts of recovering soldiers into the house, much to the chagrin of the family, who had to endure such horrors as errant ping pong balls and a general din in the library. Even worse, with Downton Abbey now serving as a …
