REGENCY HOUSE PARTY review

Filed under: Screen — Julie B. @ 4:44 pm

The Chicago Tribune reviews PBS’s REGENCY HOUSE PARTY, which debuted last night. The opening paragraph of the article sounds oddly familiar somehow.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of his own reality show.

The reporter, of whom the AustenBlog Staff has now grown quite fond, credits Miss Austen further:

Yes, just as the reality genre has shown signs of flagging this season, Jane Austen is here to save it. What can’t that woman do, eh?

The website for the show, which includes an amusing quiz or two, can be found here.
