M&M

Even though I do love this pairing, this is not what I mean...

 
Now this is more like it... They are the reason I watch Downton Abbey, and also the reason I probably won't continue to watch Downton Abbey Season 4. If you're a fan, I'm sure you know what I'm talkin' about.

 
Downton Abbey started in 2010, but I just started watching it this last summer on Amazon Prime. I've seen all three seasons, but probably won't be watching season four and beyond. Season four just finished airing in the UK, and will air in the US on PBS Masterpiece Classic this coming January. It was to air for only three seasons, but since it's grown in popularity, they have extended it. I wish they had stuck to their original plan, it could have ended on a happy note instead of the sad and depressing way they chose to end it in season three in order to carry on in season four. The show does have many interesting characters and storylines, but my main reason for watching is for the main love interest, which are in the pic above... Lady Mary and Matthew. There is another reason to watch it though, and that is to see more of the Dowager Countess Violet, played by Maggie Smith... love her wit. Oh, and the music... love it.
 
I feel like getting into the girls' Halloween candy (the few I hid away... shhh) and finding me some M&M's and turning on one of my favorite shows from either season one or season two of Downton Abbey... sounds good on a rainy day. Yep, that's what I'm-a-gonna-do. Ta ta... until next time... :)
