Out With the Old... In With the New

For me, this winter break has been bittersweet. Mostly because my most dearly beloved TV show 'Gossip Girl' ended, and I have nothing to look forward to on the boob tube this coming year. Am I right GG mourners? FALSE. I regret to inform the web population of my new obsession; one that I promised myself I would stay far away from just in spite of it... Downton Abbey ladies and gentleman. It rivals all others with its classy language, sarcasm, wit, and sass. I absolutely LOVE Violet, Countess of Grantham and her rivalry with Mrs. Isobel Crawley. I love Mary's stubbornness and her sister Edith's obsession with her suitors. Above all, I love Robert Grantham and how he commands respect with his stern yet kind personality. I was shocked at some of the servants behavior though... I wanted to punch the lady with the bird nest hair and that Thomas fellow. Uhm, SPOILER ALERT: was anyone else dumbfounded when we found out that Thomas was gay after he kissed a visiting duke? So much tension in the Downton manor... I love it. Also, another obsession that I can look forward to is the continuation of Once Upon a Time season 2. I am in love with fairy tales, and wish I could be Regina- the evil queen for just a day. The finale of Gossip Girl came just in time; right when I decided to junk my old ways and start anew. And Downton Abbey is a perfect new obsession for this new chapter in life. And what a more perfect character to look up to than head housemaid, Anna Smith? Watch it folks... you will feel like a tasteful adult immediately.


Cast of Downton Abbey. Who says scandal is for the 21st century only?
