Y'all my co-worker thought Downton Abbey....

[Deleted]

was a restaurant.    I casually asked her if she was a fan and she said 'no, I've never been".  I just assumed most people have heard of it by now even if not everybody watches.  Made me giggle a little.

I had never heard of it until I saw someone post about it here. I don't even know what it's about. *shrug* I don't have a lot of time to watch tv these days. LOL!

[bunnies]

Lurker chiming in: Before I started watching it, I thought it was another SATC type tv show about a girl named Abbey who lives downtown in some big city.

Eh. I just figured it out in December and I'm hooked now. But I hardly ever watch TV. I guess maybe I do in phases but right now I'm just not into watching TV except downton actually. So many people say stuff like "you know that commercial...?" No, I don't. I get too distracted to watch TV, let alone commercials.

So... This isn't really judge-worthy IMO.

Totally not judging anybody, I just said it made me giggle.     DA is one of the few TV shows I actually sit down every week to watch myself.

Better to think it's a restaurant than a porno. I've never watched it. No idea when it's on.

downtownali - Were you on The Nest before?

I've never watched the show. It's a period piece, correct? Not sure it'd be my....ahem...cup of tea

OMG hilarious.

and holy crap. last night's episode.

This is hilarious to me. Mainly because I feel cool. I don't "do" TV..like at all. (For real, all I watch is McLeod's Daughters off the internet on the treadmill!)Even I knew what Downton Abbey is about!

I think that's funny and cute!

Seriously everybody seems to be talking about it, even my aunts and random coworkers.

I did this once too when a friend was asking if I liked a show. I think it was The Practice and I said I was tired of medical dramas and she was like, no it's a legal show. Well whatever, I didn't know what they were practicing but I wasn't watching.

The modern-day versions of the actors is so mindblowing. I am always amazing at the true power of hair and makeup.
