We Miss You, Hudson and Kate...

If you are needing something to watch on television during the cold winter months, or anytime for that matter, you might consider an old PBS series that ran from 1971 until 1975. Upstairs, Downstairs is a BAFTA and Emmy award-winning British drama set in a large townhouse in Edwardian London, and that depicted the lives of the servants "downstairs" and their masters "upstairs."

He and I have been watching it over the past few weeks, limiting ourselves to 6-8 episodes a week. We were addicted. Although I had watched part of the series back in the day, I had forgotten most the details. He had never seen it before, and it was funny to have him say that he hesitated to watch them too often because soon we would have watched them all, and he would miss it. It was the same for Him when the Sopranos series ended. For me, it was like not being able to put down a good book.


You'll get past the fact that it isn't in HD, the color is faded, and the fact that some of the early episodes are in B&W due to a technician's strike at the time.
