Only about 15% of PBS' funding comes from the government, and Downton Abbey is their biggest ratings pull in almost three years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-we-lose-downton-abbey-in-the-us#post-324867 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 16:02:56 +0000 mrsjyw 324867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Noooooooooo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-we-lose-downton-abbey-in-the-us#post-324846 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 15:50:48 +0000 DigAPony 324846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maysprout: +1 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-we-lose-downton-abbey-in-the-us#post-324844 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 15:50:21 +0000 travelgirl1 324844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: I have them on my computer.

My husband and I totally had the same reaction last night when we were watching the debates. He was upset about Austin City Limits and I was upset about Downton Abbey! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-we-lose-downton-abbey-in-the-us#post-324808 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 15:22:40 +0000 yoursilverlining 324808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maysprout: LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-we-lose-downton-abbey-in-the-us#post-324802 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 15:17:17 +0000 Maysprout 324802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our nation is going to keep plumetting into more debt unless downton abbey is privatized. It would mean more sex scenes too. </p> <p>Big Bird's been a scavenger on society for far too long, he needs to start selling some seeds or pharmaceuticals to earn his keep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-we-lose-downton-abbey-in-the-us#post-324790 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 15:08:40 +0000 Mrsbells 324790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dont really have an answer to you, but I wouldnt really take Romney at his word, atleast not yet, he flip flops back and forth like no other. By this time next week he will have a totally new position. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-we-lose-downton-abbey-in-the-us#post-324785 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 15:06:29 +0000 lawbee11 324785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know why, but this just came to me. I watched the debate last night, and during it Romney discussed how he'd cut funding to PBS. He was talking about it in the context of Sesame Street and Big Bird, so I didn't really put 2 and 2 together, but does this mean we would lose Downton Abbey too?? Or do you think it would be picked up by another network? I'm not sure how that stuff works. </p> <p>For those of you that missed the debate, here's an article about the PBS funding discussion:</p> <p><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/decision2012/big-bird-in-the-presidential-debate-mitt-romney-advocates-cutting-funding-for-sesame-street-pbs/2012/10/04/f7f280ba-0e1f-11e2-bb5e-492c0d30bff6_story.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/decision2012/big-bird-in-the-presidential-debate-mitt-romney-advocates-cutting-funding-for-sesame-street-pbs/2012/10/04/f7f280ba-0e1f-11e2-bb5e-492c0d30bff6_story.html</a> </p>
