MASTERPIECE CLASSIC: "DOWNTON ABBEY"
PBS, 9:00 p.m. ET
SEASON PREMIERE: Season 3 begins tonight, and it’s the best season yet for this hit period drama series. Shirley MacLaine joins the cast in a much-publicized introductory appearance, but don’t expect her character to stick around for long. For more details, see my review in Bianculli’s Blog, and Ed Bark’s review in Uncle Barky’s Bytes. Check local listings.
