a thank you to the Oscars

All this winter I've been skipping Downton Abbey, even though I really enjoy the series, because there were other programs I wanted to see more on Sunday evenings. But tonight, thanks to the Oscars, the programs I usually watch are not on. But PBS, in a stroke of genius, reran the whole season of episodes of Downton Abbey this afternoon and evening, so now I am all caught up. I might even take a quick look at the Oscars later this evening, maybe.
