What better way to put a bright spot on the Crawley’s world and begin to heal a tearful Downton Abbey nation than a Downton musical! Yes, it’s time for Downton Abbey: The Musical. Filmed [...]

How can you possibly put a pricetag on Fawlty Towers?
Ok, maybe the TARDIS was a bit pricey. But, have you ever wanted to abandon the rat race and chuck it all to buy (and run) a cozy little B & B with a view? Worked for Bob Newhart years ago, why not you? More from the real estate bloggers over at Movoto (based on [...]
In the market for the TARDIS as a second home?
Better get our your big boy checkbook…. According to the self-proclaimed crazy novelty bloggers over at Movoto where the lighter side of real estate rears its head every once in awhile, it’s going to cost you anywhere from just a little over $50K to just over $2.5 billion for the likes of the TARDIS as [...]

Sadly, no Legos in Shaun of the Dead’s future, but we do have Paper People!
You might remember, back in April, we reported on the Lego process for submission of ideas that requires at least 10,000 supporters before an idea will be considered.

Sesame Street’s Upside Downton Abbey. Brought to you by the letters…
As I’m sure you are keenly aware, we have talked incessantly in recent months about what it takes in the pop-culture world of the 21st century to ‘have arrived’.

Downton Abbey as a Super Nintendo game? Who’s in?
And I thought Downton Abbey had achieved the ultimate pop-culture status by virtue of its’ two Jimmy Fallon parody sketches, one Saturday Night Live skit and having it’s own Facebook page. Not so.
