Downton Abbey (Sunday, 9/8c, PBS)
This delightful and utterly absorbing Masterpiece Classic miniseries about the intrigues among a family and the staff of a grand English country estate reaches its conclusion far too soon. If the ending seems a bit abrupt, as the start of WWI heralds change for all the characters, not to worry. A second season is in the works for next year. In the meantime, savor the sophisticated blend of humor, tragedy, romance and unabashed sentiment for a long-ago era. And all those splendid performances, including Elizabeth McGovern as the American mistress of the manor and the hilarious Maggie Smith as her imperious mother-in-law. No one does this sort of thing better than Masterpiece.

Although The Vampire Diaries' Damon Salvatore gets his share, both viewers and Ian Somerhalder are hoping to see him get some action with Elena.
"I just want to make out with her eventually," Somerhalder jokes. "The love Damon has for Katherine and Elena has gotten him into exorbitant amounts of trouble and I think he's probably thinking ... 'I've kind of learned my lesson, I'm going to build a bit of a wall. '" {...} it's undeniable that Damon has made quite the transformation throughout the series, and has developed, shall we say, feelings.
The softer side is Somerhalder's biggest challenge.
"It's tough because there has to be truth and there's a lot of real pain buried in that humor," he says. "The maniacal killer in him is starting to wane by virtue of the fact all the stakes have been raised because he cares about people now."
