Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I expect several Buffistas to be writing Edwardian Country House slash in a very short while.

snerk. I'm in the middle of watching it, and I can definitely see that.

I keep expecting them to play the "Masterpiece Theatre" theme music. It feels like Upstairs, Downstairs only different.

Yup. I moissed the first hour, but still good. Although I would not like to be the scullary maid at all. Also, I thought it was weird that the ladies maid was helping out in the kitchen, but the housekeeper was no where to be found.

Also, I think when they said "alcohol poisoning" they just menat "hung-over really bad" becuase to me, if you have alcohol poisoning, you go to the hospital.

Me too. I've seen alcohol poisoning before, and that wasn't it.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I want a footman!

Or a hallboy... he needs a bed anyway.

I found an email I sent da boy after seeing the first Edwardian House

    oh my...

    footmen were paid according to their height.
    yes. their height.
    those under 5'7 up to 20 pounds. Those over could earn as much as 40 quid.
    wowza.

    89 steps up.
    that's where they kept the house women.
    cause yeah.. you know, climbing them?
    was probably going to deter the man.
    ohyesindeed!

    Did you know it takes 186 separate pieces of silverware for a 6 course meal for 8.
    (or is that an 8 course meal for 6? :)

    And I'm in love. IN LOVE I tell you. Charles! The First footman. He's a bit of al' right, he is :)

Clearly I was watching for the .. erm .. educational bits! (Does PBS also blank out the bits where they get nuded up?)

No one matches Frontier House's Nate though. He's my secretest television boyfriend.

lalala not editing, not editing

Nobody

Wait, there was nudity? I knew shoulda watched that show more closely.

White-fonted for Edwardian spoilers (if you consider hair and relationships spoilers, that is):Hmm, is Charles the quy with the really cute in that 'I wanna give you a haircut' way flippy fringe, who had a forbidden girlfriend and kept making the head-butler dude frustrated? Or am I confusing the footmen?

Edit - I do too know how to tell different shows apart, I promise. Also, it appears I'm a serial editor, but some typos you just can't leave alone.

pstt. Leigh? Wasn't that [ Kenny the boot-boy - or hall-boy - or something that indicates he sleeps in a pull down bed in the passageway-boy?
And doesn't he come later?]
