Downton, things will be great when we're Downton...
A writer at Newsweek is ALL TICKED OFF that Americans DARE to enjoy "Downton Abbey." Dude, do you even KNOW what's on other channels? Would you prefer we melt our brains with more Kardashian shows?
So if we enjoy something on tv that says history wasn't all bad we're snobs and we condone the bad stuff? Our era is so perfect? Has this guy ever heard of chronological bigotry?
I'm an entertainment editor at MSNBC.com, and have maintained Pop Culture Junk Mail since August, 1999. The New York Times called the site "one of the best places to explore pop culture online," and Entertainment Weekly included it on their Top 100 Web Sites list. If you like weird food, strange products, and 1970s and 1980s nostalgia, PCJM is your home away from home.
I have a brand new BOOK, written with Brian Bellmont. "Whatever Happened to Pudding Pops? The Lost Toys, Tastes and Trends of the '70s and '80s." Buy it online, and follow our retro reminiscing on our GenXtinct blog,Facebook, and Twitter.

Not just a writer at Newsweek, Schama has done some awesome BBC/PBS series about history and art. He's my favorite curmudgeon.
