Happy birthday to DR cillaliz' mother!
I'm watching the MANSFIELD PARK from this year's Masterpiece Theatre Jane Austen Festival. The story's there, greatly condensed into 90 minutes, but the dialogue is blatantly obvious, not at all Miss Austen's style, and the tone is off. The Crawfords are much too obvious, as is Maria Bertram's leering at Henry Crawford behind her husband's back. And where's the evil Mrs Norris, one of the great villains? She hardly exists. Not too good, I fear.
!!!!Spoiler Alert!!!!
I liked GHOST WHISPERER but I think they were wrong to kill off such an interesting character with much potential to stir things up in future episodes
