I ordered the Season 5 series back in August on Amazon and got a even lower price by the time it came out in early February. I haven't gone back to watch it again since I've been keeping up with it. Yes, its sad we have to wait till next January for the next season and I read its the last season too!!!!!! Oh shucky darn and I like this series too. Next series leads a new twist with possible marriage to the head housekeeper and butler characters. Thomas has been forgiven for being such a s**t with his last trick on that nasty stuckup butler. Sure wish they'd give it up on the Bates, they seem like such a loving couple but it shows when you love someone that much you'll do anything to try to save them. They don't walk away from their marriage just because of trouble. Mary on the other hand I now find is such a snob though she's no angel as we've seen in previous seasons. Anyway, I have the entire series in DVD and will go back and watch it all sometime this summer for kicks.
Thanks to you all for getting me interested in this series sometime last year. It was worth it.
