Here we are at the finale of Downton Abbey for the year, with the extended Christmas episode. There’s so much to finalize after this season and let’s see how it goes for everyone. Anna’s still in prison, just before the family is set to go to the Blankcasker Castle for the hunting party. Lady Mary goes to visit and thinks …

The following list provides the dates of the returning cable and major network dramas as well as new cable and major network dramas, made-for-TV movies and mini-series that will air during March: March 1 – Once Upon a Time will return to ABC at 8 PM, after its extended break, followed by the two-hour debut on the new drama Secrets and …

Let’s start with the bad news and then go to the good, shall we? Mr. Green’s murder investigation has come to a head and after Anna and Bates are at Scotland Yard one day, Anna is eventually arrested for killing him. Everyone in the house is there to see Anna lead away and they all vow to help clear her …

Beginning where everyone wants to start: what’s going on with Edith? Everyone, including Rosamund, is off to look for Edith and that means that what happened has to be explained to Cora. Obviously, she’s hurt to know not she had another grandchild but gets over that and they go to London to look for her at Mr. Gregson’s office. They …

Today feels like a day to start small and get much bigger. Downstairs, or more accurately with the staff, there are changes afoot. Violet’s new maid is not getting along well with Spratt, and the two of them are having a prolonged game of cat and mouse. Anna and Bates are having issues as a couple. Bates discovered the prophylactic …

Upstairs, more drama unfolds (shocking!), this time with Rosamund also included. Rosamund comes to visit while Lord Grantham has a series of duties as Lord Luitenenant around York. She can at least talk to Edith about Marigold and what to do. Mrs. Drewe misreads Rosamund’s visit and Edith showing off Marigold as a plaything before she puts her foot down …

With not much going on downstairs, we’ll start there and then go up to where all the action is. Thomas went on a trip (for his ill father – how about that lie?) and returns to odd behavior and what looks like vials of some drug. Mrs Patmore’s still frustrated that her nephew can’t be included in the Downton memorial, …

For a change of pace, we’ll start with the Granthams and then go below stairs for this week. Mary’s love life continues to be complicated. Spratt saw she and Lord Gillingham in Liverpool and tells Violet. That makes Violet worry about when Mary might set a date and her granddaughter’s virtue, especially after everything from before. But Mary also talks …

Let’s start below stairs and move up again like last week. Below stairs: Carson and Mrs Hughes are not in agreement about where the War Memorial should be, with Carson making a big show of wanting them to be on the same side. While they’re off trying to discuss it in the village, a local woman helps to settle the …

It’s already 7 days into the new year and we’re getting ready for the busy winter premiere season. The excitement is tangible as new shows that we’ve been looking forward to, as well as returning favorites, keep us glued to our TV’s and firing up our DVR’s. With all of that happening we wanted to reflect a bit on last year and …
