internet TV
My television is broken at the moment, so to make up for this lack, I have been searching out television programming on the internet. And what a bounty I have found! Free, legal bounty! Tonight I watched an old episode of The A-Team at NBC.com and was amused to recognize none other than Marc Alaimo, who played Gul Dukat on Deep Space Nine! It was a lot of fun to see him doing scenes with Murdock, played by Dwight Schultz, and imagining that this was actually some weird time-traveling meeting between Dukat and Schultz' TNG character, Reginald Barclay. Then I discovered the original Battlestar Galactica, with Galactica 1980 mislabeled as "season two." LOL! But it's not all decades-old TV classics on the internet. There are new episodes, too. CBS.com has Big Bang Theory. Comedy Central has The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Syfy.com has Being Human. CWtv.com has Ringer. And PBS.org has Downton Abbey, but unfortunately only season two, and I'm still on season one (but the next DVD is in my Netflix queue!)
I really ought to hurry up and get the TV fixed, but I find that I am surprisingly in no particular hurry. Of course, new Doctor Who won't be on for a long time. ; )

Ooh, I like that!
I am indeed enjoying Downton. I started out by trying to watch the current shows on PBS, but got quickly lost, so switched to watching from the beginning via Netflix. I've only seen the first two episodes, but I think I'm addicted!

Oh, cool. I love it, as you've gathered. (Everybody, but obviously Maggie Smith as Violet - and also Mrs Hughes and Carson. And Michelle Dockery is so good as Mary, because she, and the writing, took me from disliking her to rooting for her.) I found some bits of S2 disappointing (although less so than most other people did, I think) but the Christmas special really pulled everything back up again. (I don't think it's spoilery to say that, but I'll keep quiet until you're caught up now.)
