"Downton Abbey" is losing its Dowager Countess.
Maggie Smith, who plays the sharp-tongued Violet on the beloved PBS drama, told the Times of London Sunday that the upcoming sixth season will be her last.

Try “Evil Under the Sun” with Peter Ustinov as Hercule Poirot.
Sooner or later all shows will jump the shark.

True....there is a thread about House of Cards Season 3 saying it has jumped the shark.....I have NOT gone to the thread because I am only on Season 3 episode 4 so I have a long way to go. It is strange because I normally watch it in a weekend but haven’t gone out of my way to watch it that quick yet. Once I get through it, I will read the comments on that thread. It makes me interested to see what fellow Friends say about it. I will just have to wait until I am done.
