Lian’s Birthday Celebration

Downton Gabbey, Season 5, Episode 7

On today’s Satellite Sisters, it’s Liz and Julie on Lian’s Big Five-Oh.

Happy Birthday, Youngest Sister.

From the special spa gift Sheila picked out to the balloon bouquet we surprised her with and how Lian wrangled them all the way home, we’ve got the details.

Plus a review of the place where we had a fun birthday dinner.  In short, great food in weird pans.  We explain.

Then we gotta run.

It’s Oscar afternoon in Los Angeles.

On today’s Satellite Sisters, the three single sisters talk of love.  And murder.  And makeup. And movies.

Liz, Sheila and Monica tackle:

Sheila's Valentine's date was Bobbi Brown and here's her "after" photo, new palette + so many "must have" products that her bank card choked.

Sheila’s afternoon getting a whole new look at the Bobbi Brown counter at Nordstrom and her theory that Amanda Knox is a bad marriage risk.

Monica’s report on the politicial scandal in Oregon.  A good man brought down by a bad woman or a couple of crooks in cahoots?  You decide.

Liz’s discussion with Monica on the Edward Snowden documentary CitizenFour. Plus a surprise recommendation from Liz of Paddington. For those of you who are interested in the word of David Carr, the New York Times media reporter who died suddenly this week, we also recommend the 2011 documentary Page One.

On today’s Superbowl Sunday Satellite Sisters,

Here we are on Superbowl Sunday, but this show offers much more excitement that that.

What is actually happening in this photo? Julie explains all on today's Satellite Sisters. It's SHOWTIME.

Julie may score another Urban Nana gig but in the meantime she’s got news about Showtime on the New York City subway system, urban petwear trends and her pending legislation about vaccinations.

Sheila graduated from traffic school but the whole thing sounds pretty sketchy to us.  Plus, she’s thinking of taking up stand-up again now that she has seen the action at Fluffers in Burbank.  Weatherman Fritz in the house! Plus a new naked conversation with an important lesson.

Monica is the only person who has seen all the Oscar nominated shorts.  She is going to tell us who is going to win, thereby helping you win your Oscar pool.

And Liz has a recap of the SAG Awards and a precap of the best Superbowl ads.  They do not all feature adorable dogs but some of them do.

Sex! Drugs! Free Love! Women's Lib! Power to the People! It's 1969 on Downton Abbey. Complete with Ms. Bunting, Buzz Kill.
