53: Downton For The Count

Published: Jan. 4, 2015, midnight

Our esteemed colleague John Ramos is back to assess the stateside season premiere of Downton Abbey -- with all the Sarah Buntings that entails. We also sicced Wardrobe Cop on Rags To Riches, admired FXX\'s movie-advertising game, ran through the pleasures of The Flash, and worked up an appetite for The Great British Bake Off. John then gestated a Playing House Canon submission before Game Time forced us to wonder Who In The What Now. How much do the two S. Buntings have in common? What does the newest Spike reality competition have on Common? Are times changing? The latest full-strength ep of EHG has more info than a clever schoolteacher.
