Goofs
In the opening scene telling the story of Minna Davis, the Brady-American News card shows the copyright date as MXMXXXVI. MXM is improper usage and given the period should read MCMXXXVI, which translates to 1936.

Quotes
Monroe Stahr: That's a lovely dress, Cecelia.
Cecelia Brady: You should see what it looks like in a ball on the floor.

Another good series bites the dust too soon!

Once again, a series I have really enjoyed has been canceled by the powers that be! I will admit the first few episodes of the first season were a little slow (perhaps there was room for improvement in the dialogue), but as the series progressed, I was fully engrossed in the story. The physical details of the hairstyles and clothing were absolutely believable and the filming itself was gorgeous. I was particularly impressed by Kelsey Grammar's performance.

For anyone who has not yet seen the mere two seasons that exist, allow me to inform you there is an extremely interesting twist in the plot! I don't think this will disappoint. How it was canceled with such a high IMDb rating remains a mystery.
