OK, so I couldn't find the original site and post, but this is another with similar info:

I usually go to the 'horses mouth' or in this case itv.co.uk the shows creators to see what they say about the series http://www.itv.com/downtonabbey/ . Although this does confirm that Shirley Maclaine will be joining the cast for series 3 it also says quite clearly that episode 8 was the last episode for series 2 with the Christmas special as a one off.
I think all the ganja smoking people waiting excitedly for February the 19th are going to be severely ripped off, especially those who watch the 10 hour marathon first in preparation for the new episode.
Shirley Maclaine though will be an interesting foil for Maggie Smith, I'm sure many sparks will fly in the upcoming season (not until September though.....).
I am in no ways a fan of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, but sometimes they do some pretty awesome pieces. I guess I could say the same for Jimmy Kimmel. Anyways, here's their recent skit based on Downton Abbey. The best part of this whole thing is Fred Armisen playing the middle sister or possibly the Dowager Countess.

So apparently I don't watch anything that mjmacky likes.
I spent the better part of a year thinking it was Downtown Abbey anyway.:idunno:

I guess I have Beavis & Butthead to thank for allowing me to 'get' the other joke, followed by another dose of sheer disappointment in humanity.
Also, you wouldn't put it passed me to start indiscriminately liking things that you watch just to spite you, would you?
Yes because that's what friends are for.:)
Anyway you wouldn't believe my disappointment in finding out that it was Downton and it's about some olden day English twats.I really thought it might be about coolBlackurban guys and theirbitcheswomen and have a driving hip-hop soundtrack featuring maybe Lil Wayne and Flo Rida and otherNegro typesartists of note.
Well played, in that you shamed me by mentioning Flo Rida, which is a rapper that thought it a creative, ingenious design to break up our state name into 2 words and pronounce it as such to construct an entirely new name appropriate for a rapper. Well played indeed. Do I need to show you my *cock or something?
*will be explained elsewhere
