The fourth season of Downton Abbey will premiere Sunday, Jan. 5, 2014, on PBS — roughly a month after its U.K. run. A PBS boss says this delay creates "promotional buzz," which is industryspeak for "piracy."

You mean roughly a month after its U.K. finale?

You are right. Sorry, I read that wrong.

I was a hardcore fan seasons 1 and 2 but 3 sucked — I don't even think I'm going to watch this one. All the friends who relied on my piracy will have to wait for PBS.

OK, good.

Now I know when to begin shunning all social media, because everybody seems to know a few of those Americans who love to tweet Downtown spoilers ten seconds after an episode airs in the UK.
