Downton Abbey-Season 3 ends tonight (Video)

Tonight at 9 p.m. WNET THIRTEEN's Masterpiece Theatre will air the last episode of Season Three of the enormously successful British drama series "Downton Abbey." Yes, there will be a Season Four.

Earlier this evening "Downton Abbey" fans will want to watch CBS's "60 Minutes." Reporter Steve Kroft has his hands full trying to interview Dame Maggie Smith.

Surprisingly, Maggie Smith says she'll watch "Downton Abbey" when it's all over, lest she become plagued with self-doubt. "It's frustrating, I always see things I want to do differently," she says on "60 Minutes" tonight at 7 p.m. on WCBS.

So far, she hasn't watched Downton at all, though she is "very pleased" with its reception and is of course proud of her work.

Another, excellent series can be found on Netflix. It is the American version of the hit British mini-series "House of Cards." The U.S. version focuses on the chicanery of a U. S. Congressman played by Kevin Spacey. The series has 13 episodes. All of which are available for marathon viewing. If you enjoy this version, Netflix also has for streaming the original British series with Ian Richardson..."I couldn't possibly comment."
