Julian, What Were You Thinking?

Today while shopping in Wal-Mart with my husband I happened past a center aisle book rack.

I had no reason what so ever to stop there but something caught my eye. It was this.....

Yes, it's a book about  Downton Abbey. How could I resist browsing through its pages?  But do you see who I saw right there with all of our favorite characters?

Second from the left, ladies.

Oh yes, you see her now. It's Shirley Maclaine.

I nearly layed an egg right there in the store.

No! No! This can't be happening to my favorite program for all time. Well, nearly all time.

And that is why I'm asking Julian just what in the world were you thinking!

She's been cast as Cora's mother.

But frankly, I don't think Cora looks too happy about her as a mother. Do you?

Does this look like a happy face?

I don't think the Dowager looks very happy either.

I'm sure you've already gathered that I am not a big fan of Shirley Maclaine as an actress. However, in all fairness I'm going to withold any judgement until I've watched the whole program through.

Right now I'm just counting the days until Season 3 begins on January 6th. And I'm in great hopes that someone gives this evil couple their just rewards this time around! What do you think? Will they continue to get by with all their shenanigans?

I sure hope not!
