Anybody else like the  really good BBC stuff?  Like Are You Being Served?

I'm a big fan of Keeping Up Appearances.

What a great show.
The Bouquet residence, the lady of the house speaking!

'Allo missus Bucket!

Make that four of us.  I'm surprised too.

I love Richard. He deserves husband of the year every year.
IF I speak with the tongues of men, and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

I just started with Downton Abbey.

Why are so many here enthralled by English aristocrats?

I think it's because people want to pretend they are them for an hour. I at least would love to have been a English Aristocrat in the Victorian or Edwardian times. What I DO find odd is how people myself included Idolize them yet most of us financially speaking probably wouldn't even be as well off as one of the Grantham's Servants.
I would want a castle and a title, but I'm not sure whether I would want the life of a Victorian or Edwardian aristocrat.

Now back to TV. Anybody looking forward to the Dracula TV show this fall on NBC? Looks interesting to me.
I looked this up just now.

That Dracula poses as an American is .. um.. rather lame. No cool foreign accent.  :(

Haha, absolutely.  Onslow has some good lines too.

I missed the beginning of Breaking Bad so I have to wait for the 11:30 repeat.

Normally I am a Dracula snob. It is one of my favorite Gothic novels and I am picky about the film adaptations, however this does look interesting. The actor who plays Dracula is a favorite of mine and from the trailers I have seen he is at least a bad guy. Anything that will get rid of the Twilight version of Vampires in the Pop culture is fine with me.

I hadn't heard of the show, but totally agree about Dracula. The accent is an intrinsic part of the character.

I had a Romanian boyfriend in college, and at times he sounded like Dracula. It was awesome!  :)

The Romanian accent is awesome. I love watching the old Bela Lugosi film and just listening to him. As a side Christopher Lee who has played Drac in the most films played it with an English accent as well. But, it works because of what a great voice he has.

I've been watching Breaking Bad on Amazon. The 6th season is the best season this show has had since season 1, so I've really been enjoying it.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.

The premiere was certainly better than the last episode.

Breaking Bad tonight. Wow.

Heisenberg just out heisenberged himself, and Jesse clinched the episode.

Unfortunately, my TV lost signal several times, so I missed most of the first part of the episode.
The world is charged with the grandeur of God.
    It will flame out, like shining from shook foil;
    It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil
Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod?
Generations have trod, have trod, have trod;
    And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil;
    And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell: the soil
Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.

And for all this, nature is never spent;
    There lives the dearest freshness deep down things;
And though the last lights off the black West went
    Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs —
Because the Holy Ghost over the bent
    World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.
