TV Notes: ‘Downton Abbey’ wraps up with shocker
Don’t miss
“DOWNTON ABBEY” SEASON FINALE: Oh, m’lord, is it over, already? Yes, after a tumultuous season that brought us two weddings (one fabulous, one botched), a funeral (we miss you, Sybil), a baby girl and a dreary prison stint, all the Crawley drama is wrapping up way too soon with a two-hour blowout. But first, one more sad shocker. Of course, it may not be a shock for those who have come across those intrusive spoilers. Please, PBS, start airing this show closer to the British run! Tonight, 8 p.m., KSPS; 9 p.m. KCDT; PBS.
