Six months after Matthew's death, Mary is mired in grief, and the family and servants try to help her face a future without Matthew. Meanwhile, both Tom Branson and Carson face figures from their pasts, and Edith experiments with modernism.

The much-loved cast of Downton Abbey Season 4 includes Dame Maggie Smith, Elizabeth McGovern, Hugh Bonneville, Michelle Dockery, Jim Carter, Joanne Froggatt, Penelope Wilton, and a host of others, with guest stars Shirley MacLaine and Paul Giamatti. Written and created by Julian Fellowes, Downton Abbey, Season 4 marks the return of one of television's most beloved and anticipated drama series to MASTERPIECE on PBS.

DA fans, are you excited?

Any predictions for events in Season 4?

Recently saw “Bates” on the London stage. He was excellent, and very nice and patient to fans who waited outside. I’m not a DA fan but was waiting for one of the Harry potter stars also in the show.

Looking forward to it! Haven’t missed an episode yet! I heard another regular character left the show. Won’t say who it is, in case it isn’t common knowledge.

My wife and I visited Highclere Castle last year. It was quite interesting, especially the basements where all the ancient Egyptian artifacts are. Believe me, it looks much better on TV than in person!

Are you sure this is tonight? I don’t see it on our local PBS station for tonight, and the others have all played before.

Please note the title says “Tomorrow Night,” i.e. Sunday night.

Whoops, thank you, I misunderstood the date. No wonder it doesn't show up in the channel line up.

*feeling sheepish*

Soap Opera featuring the Aristo class. It ‘ll probably run as long as “Guiding Light.”

Tomorrow is going to be an AWESOME day!

Driving to Cincy to watch the Bengals playoff game... then, will be home in time to see the end of the Green Bay game, and watch the season premiere of Downton Abbey!

It just doesn’t get any better than that!

Downton Abby is wonderful! I can hardly wait!

I just started trying to watch it a few weeks ago when I came across an episode on Masterpiece Theater.

I got hooked, and much to my delight I discovered that I could watch all the episodes on my Kendle free since I am a 'prime' member.

Watched them all in about three days! :)
