DA was a one time watch and it was a struggle to finish it.
The servant stories and characters were so much more .... MORE... than the upstairs snobs and mopey heads.
BEST thing, for me at least, about DA were the fantastic costumes and authentic look of the hairdos and furnishings.
AND Maggie Smith ! I would watch that woman sitting and reading aloud from a phone directory.
I also have Upstairs, Downstairs on DVD. And i have Downton Abby on DVD
But for me Downton Abby is not a one time watch. I had no trouble finishing it and i can watch it again and i have. But i never enjoy it as much as i enjoy Upstairs, Downstairs.
And as i said in my OP the worst of Upstairs, Downstairs is better than the best of Downton Abby.
