How to watch season 4 of Downton Abbey in the U.S.

September 24, 2013

I might have mentioned that I’m a bit of a dork-fan about Downton Abbey. Perhaps in one of the weekly, emotionally-wrought recaps I’ve done of every single episode with my friend Sarah James. Downton Abbey is a UK show, and usually airs in the UK several months before it hits PBS here in the US. I used to wait for months before it would air here. Then I stumbled upon a way for Americans to get our Downton Abbey fix.  It’s a VPN hack called TunnelBear, and according to their website it’s . . .

Let’s talk about the Downton Abbey trailer

September 3, 2013

Well, folks, the Downtwon Abbey trailer just dropped . . . a cruel preview to the show that we Americans will have to wait months for before it comes to PBS. (Or at least you suckers will because you KNOW I’ll be getting all McGyver so I can watch it when the Brits do.) It’s possible that I watched this four times in a row, and then once again, stopping at every frame. Who are all these people kissing?Why is Bates sad?Is there an inter-racial romance? Is Mary moving on? WILL SOMEONE HAVE A BABY . . .

Mama Said: What celebrity crushes are on your “list”?

April 30, 2013

Sarah James and I decided to keep it completely shallow this month in our Mama Said videos. After discussing topics like guilt and introversion and social anxiety, we decided to do a whole month dedicated to fluff. Specifically: celebrity fluff. In our first video, we discussed our “lists”.  (You know . . . the list of celebrities you get a free pass with, in case the opportunity should ever arise.) Watching this video made me laugh because our answers illustrated our own individual . . .

The Draper Report: Mad Men season 6 premiere recap

April 8, 2013

Sarah and I had so much fun doing our Downton Abbey recaps that we decided we would do the same thing for the other show we are both crazy about: Mad Men. It seems like we’ve been waiting ages for this show to come back on the air, and the premeire . . . was not what we expected. I’ll avoid spoilers here, but we found the episode dark and confusing.  We are dying to hear if you agree with our reactions. Did you like the episode? Did you find it slow? What are your thoughts on the . . .
