Tonight on PBS, Season 3 of Mr. Selfridge begins. And I think it will be a two-hour episode for the opener.

This might help some of you who, like me, still are feeling some withdrawal symptoms from Downton Abbey.

You are so right, Madelaine Amee. He was fascinating. Genius. Creative. Ambitious. Risk-Taker. Student of Human Nature. Passionate. Impulsive. So many, many interesting things about him. -- Come to think of it, I guess he was the first of the Mad Men. -- It is also fun to look at the website for the department store that still bears his name.
