Manor House on PBS

[Annie&Hallie'sMom]

Anyone else watch this last night?

I thought it was really interesting (loved Frontier House, 1900s House and 1940s House). The "Lord" of the house really got into the role (and awful easily).

Boy, those poor "servants" really worked.

Yup! I did and thought it was very interesting. I'm sure I'd rather be the Lady of the house and not the Scullery maid. I thought it was funny when the Lord of the Manor made the boo-boo with his black waistcoat.

Oh no! I missed it! Is it a series?

 

[Annie&Hallie'sMom]

It's a mini-series. 6 episodes long (an hour each), but they've been showing 2 episodes and evening. I'm sure they'll be on again. It really is fascinating to watch.

I Tivo'd last nights episode, and will be TiVo'ing tonights and tomorrow's.... We're going to watch it all "marathon style" like we did for Frontier House (which we LOVED)... I am REALLY looking forward to this series!!

I'm kinda bummed I missed 1900's house and 1940's house! (mentioned above)...

I LOVE these series! I think they're fascinating. It's so interesting to learn about every little detail of how people lived in the past. I do wish the main family had a daughter though.

Ooooo! I'm glad I checked back here. I didn't think the next episode was on til next week. Better check my TV guide for the time. I sure don't want to miss it or Dr Phil on Frasier.

I caught it by accident last night and was so glad! I loved the other shows too. I really felt bad for the scullery 'maids" as they lost 2 in the first 2 episodes! It must be a tough job scrubbing pots all day long but I can't help but think that back then people were "Thankful" they had a job! Not like in todays society...It was really an eye opener for me as to the social classes and who is allowed to associate with whom.
I couldn't believe the Lord said that a Bimbo couldn't have pulled off last nights dinner! LOL and he was talking about his wife!

Can't wait for the next episodes!

Holycow

Its a really cool show- I love the clothes and the house!

I'd hate to be a lower maid though. How about how you are supposed to "disappear" if you run into the master or mistress because heaven forbid they should look at , or acknowledge you??!

For all those who don't want to miss the "Prime" shows between 8-10pm --- PBS replays the episode from 10pm - 12am.
