Got Downton Withdrawal??

Do you sit at home just wondering about season 4 of Downton Abbey and eagerly anticipating the start of the new season? There are several things you could do to offset your Downton Abbey withdrawal. You could read a book which reminds you of that era - Remains of the Day comes to mind.  Or you could go back and watch seasons 1-3 while you're waiting for January 2014 to roll around. Or how about this: Downton Abbey parodies. I have come across some wonderfully funny parodies of this beloved show and thought I'd share them with my fellow Downton Abbey fans.  A few of them are a little long, but well worth the time spent. Enjoy!

1.  Downton Abbey at 54 below:  Have you ever thought about Downton Abbey, the Musical? No! Well, then check out this video:

2.  Jimmy Fallon's Downton Sixbey:  Here's Jimmy Fallon's take on our favorite English aristocrats and their servants. This is episode 1, but you can see all 5 episodes on Late Night's YouTube channel.

3.  Sesame Street's Upside Downton Abbey:  This is really adorable! I mean you've got Muppets and Downton Abbey.  Maybe it'll get our littlest ones interested in Downton.

4.  Breaking Abbey: Is there anything better than combining Downton Abbey with my new obsession Breaking Bad? I think not.  This hilarious parody includes stars from the show: Hugh Bonneville, Jim Carter, and Rob James-Collier.  (You can see a better quality version on The Colbert Report website.)

5.  "Downtown" Abbey with Sean Combs: This video is from Funny or Die and is just hilarious! Sean Combs talks about how he was the first black character on Downton Abbey and proves it with video. Check it out:

I hope these videos will help you get through the next few months until the return of Downton Abbey.
