Tonight’s the much anticipated American debut of Downton Abbey‘s third season. I know that I’m looking forward to get my fix of the drama following the family and serving staff of a huge British manor as it struggles, financially and socially, through the changing times around World War I as the era of the great landed estates nears its end.
Speaking of needing a fix, a few weeks back, in response to his faux outrage over Michelle Obama getting a preview of the new episodes ahead of the general public, Stephen Colbert presented a video featuring three of the main characters from the series in a parody. They were supposedly reading lines from the upcoming season of Vince Gilligan’s Breaking Bad, the series dealing with the story of a science-teacher-turned-meth-kingpin. If you’re a fan of either series, or both like me, you may get a kick out of this uncensored mash up. Maybe they can next do a Homeland/Mad Men version with Carrie and Saul carrying out the parts of Don Draper and Roger Sterling?
