Jane Austen Series

Masterpiece Theater used to be a stuffy boring series on PBS that did low budget adaptation of Edith Wharton which were poorly acted and just ugh. They have redone this series and have updated it to give it much more class and polish. For the next few months, they are doing the major works of Jane Austen. Last week they did Persuasion. This week it's Northhanger Abbey (great). Mansfield Park, Pride & Prejudice, Sense & Sensibility, Miss Austen Regrets, Emma, A Room With a View and My Boy Jack (starring Daniel Radcliffe a.k.a. Harry Potter). The two movies I've seen so far have been excellent and I am looking forward to the entire schedule. Check your local listings for show times.
