OK guys... you might not admit to your buddies that you watch Downton Abbey. But anecdotal evidence shows a lot of men are watching this hit BBC show about post-Victorian England. Some men on my FaceBook feed admit to watching, too. I watch it with my wife. I haven't come across viewership reports for confirmation, but I'm pretty sure a lot of other men are watching Downton Abbey, too.
