I kinda gave up on this show after the horrid horrid season last year. But I will give it a shot on Sunday. (I like Matthew Crawley....alot)

But spoiler alert...Maggie Smith is leaving the show this season. (Character no doubt dies)

Please, universe, stop bombarding me with crap about Downton Abbey.

Enigma 3
Is it a silly request to ask if any establishments are showing the premier? Is this show that popular?
I'm willing to wait until Monday and watch it on PBS.org, but it would be nice to hear the gasps along with fellow fans.

And Matthew is leaving as well. Just when they finally get married, too.

Saw the whole season on streaming (shh) and it's pretty good, and yes, a main character dies -- in the last episode -- but I'm not sayin' who...

@6 um, that happened already. Keep up.

I for one am sad about the prison shocker.

If you don't like spoilers do not look up Downton Abbey in Wikipedia, the brits are one season ahead and more major characters apparently die-damn skimming; it's right in the front page you don't even have to scroll down to see it!

Some good friends said, "Downton Abbey is the GOP version of the world. Revenge is the DEM version."

Downton=Saintly caring upper class
Revenge=Evil, self centered, rich folks

Hey, Dave. I've already seen Season Three and the Christmas special that aired in the UK on 2012/12/25 thanks to a friend in London. Wanna know what happens?

There are some interesting and sad things that happen during Season Three, but the Christmas Special is a jaw-dropper.

@11 I just watched the Christmas special last night and it was far from a "jaw-dropper." To be fair, I already knew who was going to die, and during the course of the show, I thought of at least half a dozen scenarios to accomplish that, any one of which would have been more interesting than what actually occurred (spoiler alert: a car crash!!!!) I will not be watching Season 4, assuming there is one.

Those of us who are hip to the Internet have already seen the third season. It was well done though, enjoy.

Season 3 has been for rent at Scarecrow on PAL for ages.

@5, I heard that as well. And to add to the rumor mill a friend of mine who works at the BBC said that Dan Stevens is a possible replacement for Matt Smith as the Doctor. But just rumor
