See, I'm used to having the CIA presented as interfering baddies in shows centered around FBI agents, and the FBI presented as annoying interferers in shows centered around CIA agents, but I think The Good Wife has to be given pioneer credit for being the first show to make a recurring villain out of the U.S. Treasury.

Ah, Downton! It's like crack. It has flaws all over the place but is massively enjoyable to watch. One of the good things about it is that the women are, in general, stronger and more interesting characters than the men, which continues into the second series.
Even if it had nothing else going for it it's worth watching for Maggie Smith's delivery of some absolutely stunning put downs *g*.

We got a HUGE kick out of imitating Cora's bizarro American accent -- we invented reasons to bring the word 'determined' into conversations for months -- but were then shocked to discover the actress is actually a Yank. She's been living in the UK for a long time, so apparently it's some strange hybrid effect. Anyway...
Here's a spoof on the show done for Red Nose Day. Kinda hit or miss, but worth seeing:

I remembered the actress being in Rain Man where she played Tom Cruise's girl friend as far as I recall, so I knew she was an actual American. :)
Thanks for linking the spoof!
