I love the early century atmosphere
in Downton Abbey.

I finally got into watching Downton Abbey, the hit PBS series (brought to us by the BBC). I love all the PBS shows, so I’m not sure why I got into Downton so late, but season 3 is about to start (this Sunday, January 6), so I managed to see most or all of the season 2 episodes.

For the past few Sundays, PBS has been showing a full night (up to 4 hours) of the show so that viewers like me, can catch up. Now I’m addicted.

I did the cartoon to pay homage and probably will do more as the new season starts. I’ve also started a little section on in my Cafe Press store to sell some Downton items. The “Keep Calm and Free Mr. Bates!” buttons, t-shirts and coffee mugs will easily be understood by fans of the show.
