Plus if you are interested in early 20th century the British tend to tie historical events in with the shows.
If you like Downton Abbey you really need to see Upstairs Downstairs from the 1970s...that is the template and is just as good if not better than Downton Abbey.

Interesting take. I can't admit to coveting a place in the aristocracy though. I'm a union guy.
Season 4 of Upstairs Downstairs should have arrived in the mail today. We have three episodes of DA left, but I really want to go out to see "42" too. Unfortunately, entertainment time is limited because I need to finish a brief this weekend. What's a guy to do?
Ain't complainin' though. It's better to be busy than broke.
