We just watched the finale and ![]() D it! So perfect. Marion Brooks called off her engagement to Aunt Agnes' cousin and she went to the opening of the Metropolitan Opera House with Larry Russell. I've always thought they looked adorable together. After Oscar lost almost all of Aunt Agnes' money, it turns out that Aunt Ada's deceased husband, Luke, was very rich so now the tables are turned in that household. Peggy Scott quit her job at the Globe because of her feelings for the married editor. Jack Treacher got his patent for his alarm clock and Larry Russell is going to go into business with him. Mrs. Russell won the war of the opera houses against Mrs. Astor and won the war of which house the Duke would attend. Me thinks she persuaded the Duke by promising him her daughter, Gladys. All in all, a great finale. Hopefully there will be a season 3!

I thought the same thing about Gladys. The Duke wants money!

I was trying to explain to DH how the most boring show on tv, with the most boring characters (talking about you Marion) is so compulsively watchable. I couldn't. It's more than just the hats.

I love this show, Christine Baranski is on top form as Agnes and can’t wait to see how she handles the fact that Ada is now the wealthier sister! Would like to see Marion and Larry get together as they make a cute couple.

I didn't realize it was the season finale! But it makes sense given how some of the stories were resolved. I think this season was definitely better than the first season, and hope that there is a third season. I don't like the characters and storylines as much as Downton Abbey, but it's still pretty good.
