At first I was hesitant about Downton Abbey because I am not a huge fan of stuffy, British, costume drama, period pieces. Then it was suggest to me by one of my bro-eist friends so I gave it a chance. Now I finally understand why all the women, and increasing numbers of men, I know are talking about The Abbey. Downtown Abbey is raunchy, saucy, and has a fast paced plot full of British action (what passes for action in England). Who will inherit what? Who will marry whom? And most importantly, what will become of the Abbey? Tune into PBS to find out.

Downton Abbey has everything that is great about Master Piece theater (excellent acting, high production value, and good writing) without any of the bad stuff (it is boring as hell, how many Bronte novels will you subject me to?).  So pull up a chair next to mom and grandma, turn on PBS and get lost in the sprawling estate that is Downton Abbey.

That however might be about to change. These days Fuse TV has taken to airing a Canadian music video show hosted by the charming and charismatic Damian “Pink Eyes” Abraham, lead singer of artsy hardcore band Fucked Up. The show highlights all of the videos being made by some of the coolest bands of the day. It is everything we want from an indie oriented video program and it is hosted by a guy with the knowledge of Matt Pinfield and the entertaining engagement of a Kennedy all in a hulking beast of a frame.

The show airs in the late night ghetto, Saturdays at 3am, but guess what with DVR that is not even so bad anymore. To entice you into this one of the few good TV shows for videos, below is an excellent video from Pitchfork darlings Real Estate.
