I say "finale" in quotes because in reality it was "Downton Abbey"'s Christmas special, a stand-alone episode, not a "season finale" (as many of you know, one-or-two-shot Christmas specials of popular series are a fixture of UK television, where the holiday season is a big deal and not a dumping ground for reruns of traditional specials)--anyway, 8.4M viewers, a probable PBS record. And now you know why PBS added a half-hour pledge drive to the 90-minute episode (I'm guessing 75-some minutes in actual length--remember, ITV is commercial):

I would guess that 20M homes were watching a scripted drama Sunday night but *not* watching CBS or ABC shows. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
