Dude, that first apostrophe is an opening single quote.

No, it wasn't the commie nation until well after the show went off the air. At the time it was the playground of the rich.

Yes you would; you're doing it right now!

McQueen was an interesting character, over and above being a Hollywood icon. He was a JD who did time at Chico and always had a clause in his rider to get jeans, skivvies, and socks that he would then send back to the institution to help the kids who were like him.

Yes! And then he was hilarious in his rom-sex-coms with Doris Day and Tony Randall! Not to mention his turn as the Second Coming of Nick Charles in McMillan and Wife.

John Rogers also has a blog, Kung Fu Monkey, where he took questions about the show. He's been doing the same with The Librarians.

I think you're wrong. Molesley is always interesting in his sweaty earnestness and essential kindness.

Obnoxious stepchildren can fuck your shit up. Isobel is, as always, a wise and beautiful woman.

Sure, she's no angel — and I forgot about the married man — but for her to look at the woman and Lord Sinderby and immediately recognize what was going on?

You're not familiar with The Heiress, then?

I've always liked Robert. He's a well-meaning guy whose world is crumbling around him. He does his best to keep up, and when he falls behind, he eventually comes around.

I love Carson, the old booby. His scenes with Mary are so touching, more so because he's always so gruff and stodgy.

I don't think so. Wait till she finds out she's not the "only mother." She's so sharp, the only reason she hasn't found out is because Edith is beneath her notice.

Dude, I am so excited! And it's a show I can watch with my redneck stepdad! He usually watches reruns of Storage Wars, but he loves RuPaul's Drag Race!

But what fun would that be? And Edith is a whiny-butt. She's probably annoyed Mary since they were little.

True, but it's kind of odd that Rose, who is so guileless, immediately figures out the situation with the mistress.

Are you kidding me? That letter could have brought down not just Lady Mary, but the whole family!

Oh, definitely! That's why I call TCM "Ted Turner's Mea Culpa."

Like Lady Mary, I haven't forgotten Edith's letter about the Pamuk Affair.
