[malaise]

[grasswire]

1. oh yes nt

[tularetom]

2. Ms. t watches that show but she won't watch Season 4 because she hasn't yet seen Season 3

[greatauntoftriplets]

3. Yes.

[IcyPeas]

4. this DUer is.

It's such a good series.

You can watch full episodes on the PBS website, here: (the holiday episode is here too in case you missed that -- a lot of people didn't know it was on and missed it.

5. When it shows up on Netflix. n/t

[elfin]

6. Oh, yes

Have a niece who dearly wanted to be a midwife here in the States. Graduate if 4 year nursing education.

No good place for her,after her certification, given how the medical system here has sidelined the profession. Now she is in charge of OB Nursing at a university Medical Center. Lucky Moms, but their care is so end-stage clinical by the time my niece meets them and then guides them through lactation issues after birth.

7. That show is cool

Get the book if you haven't already.

[Warpy]

8. Didn't know there was going to be a season 4

I thought when Jenny Lee packed it in and went off to do hospice nursing that would be it since so much was centered around her.

[malaise]

10. They fooled me too

[avebury]

13. The show has become a lot more

of an ensemble show with the character of Jenny Lee gone. Trixie gets more story line but there seems to be a better balance with the other characters. It looks like there will be a 5th season too.

[Warpy]

19. Yes, I've started on the Xmas special now

and I've gotten to the gin swigging Tartar who runs the unwed mothers' home. Chummy's on the way to crack down but I'll watch tonight's PBS episode first.

The Xmas special will be pulled in 2 days, so if you haven't seen it, go soon.

[avebury]

9. I am. I love shows like this.

Another great show if you have not seen it is The Land Girls. Apparently when the men went off to war in WWII, women signed up to work on farms to keep them operating. I really enjoyed that show.

[malaise]

11. Never saw that series

I would enjoy that

[FarPoint]

12. A big yes for this DU'er

[Sienna86]

14. Yes!

Enjoying tonight's show.

[chillfactor]

15. yes I watch..

but it doesn't start here until 7PM MDT

[Sanity Claws]

16. I love the show

The characters show compassion and intelligence. Unfortunately that seems to be a rarity in the media.

[aikoaiko]

17. No.

[cherokeeprogressive]

18. Never heard of it.

Doesn't sound like my kinda fare though...

[malaise]

20. ROFL

Actually it speaks volumes about the British NHS - with some good story lines

[cherokeeprogressive]

21. I'm sure it's a good program. I watch Sunday night TV to be entertained; not informed.

With the exception of DU, I prefer to keep my weekends politics free.

[malaise]

23. The politics is very subtle and it is very entertaining

Watch an episode on PBS on the net.

[cherokeeprogressive]

25. You know what? I will. Just because it was recommended by YOU.

I'm not averse; it's just not what I watch on the weekends.

[LanternWaste]

31. I didn't know the one denied the other.

"I watch Sunday night TV to be entertained; not informed..."

I didn't know the one denied the other.

[sueh]

22. Yes! I love this show.

Based on the memoirs of Jenny Worth, the characters and story-lines are interesting with a good mix of drama, and humor. Plus its on PBS!

[malaise]

24. I loved it from the very first episode

Great show

[giftedgirl77]

26. Ummm no, I prefer Broad City & then maybe some

Workaholics to insure the proper balance of comedy. Just finished re watching Californication in it's entirety as well just to make sure my mind was right for the next couple of weeks.

[femmocrat]

27. Absolutely! I love this show.

Sunday night on PBS is so fine!

[LoveMyCali]

28. Thank goodness for DVR's

I keep forgetting it but have my DVR set to record the series so I won't miss any of it.

[fadedrose]

29. I caught the 2 weeks before tonights...good program

I have Selfridge on right now...not as good as The Midwife.

Went to PBS out of desperation and was lucky to have found it. Tonight CNN has Weed on for hours and hours and if you live in Michigan, where it's not legal, and you have to drive 100 miles north or so for a prescription, you get pissed off from all the talk about how good it is for you. If you don't live where it's legal, you could be in jail if they find you with it...

Hurray for PBS.

[malaise]

30. Isn't Selfridge a repeat? n/t

[KoKo]

32. No...it's new, Season 3.... 1 & 2 are on Netflix Now.

Once I got into it ....thought it was a great watch. First part of Season 1, Selfridge comes off as a philandering,"AH." But, as the story goes on there's a good focus workers rights, class structure and how Selfridge (despite his flaws) does take care of his staff through WWI and respects the rights of the Suffragettes. Very female friendly watch. The acting was all top notch, imho. Wonderful costumes and atmosphere of that time.

33. Thanks -now I'll have to catch up
