Manor House on PBS
Anyone else watch this new Edwardian-flashback reality show last night, where folks sign on to be a nouveau-riche manor family and their slew of servants?

Most amusing was mandatory manor-family led morning prayer for the servants where the manor family prayed to God that the servants would be obedient, dutiful, and serve them humbly. I can't imagine why Edwardian servants didn't simply kill their pompous drain-on-society masters in their sleep.
Also real-life businessman husband expressing surprise that real-life doctor wife actually had the brains to figure out complex dinner party etiquette. That's another jackass I'd've targeted.
