Here"s Why PBS" New Show "Mercy Street" Will Never Be the Next "Downton Abbey"


MERCY STREET | Coming in January | PBS

As Downton Abbey goes off-air, PBS is hoping their new show Mercy Street would fill the void. At first glance, the two shows look very similar to each other. Its a PBS thing to present beautiful costumes and great characters. Theres also romance, issues of feminism, as well as intrigue with this new show. As what The Guardian described it, the two programs are cut from the same cloth.

However, there are a few reasons why Mercy Street wont be the next Dowton Abbey. Lets not forget that Mercy Street deals more about the civil war. Even its creator David Zabel knows the audience for the new show will be males. On the other hand, Downton has female audience because it hits the sweet spot.

Its the networks first American-produced drama in a decade. It premieres on Sunday, January 17 at 10p.m. on PBS. Mercy Street actually refers to a road leading to Mansion House, a hotel in Alexandria, Virginia. Its a hotel where soldiers hurt as much as they did on the battleground. It was turned into a hospital for soldiers during the civil war.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who plays as Mary Phinney, said the comedy in the show is sort of unexpected like that of Downton. Theres certainly a lot of heavier subject matter on our show. But there are machinations that youll want to follow or want to root for or the opposite so in that sense there are similarities.

Mercy Street actually has a feel of PBS docudrama. Lisa Wolfinger, one of the creators of the show, said she was looking for a way to tell a Civil War story from a fresh vantage point after the sesquicentennial. I realized there was a great story about the medical side of the Civil War, about the doctors and nurses, she added. As it goes, Mercy Street may be a perfect follow-up to Downton Abbey but the twos plot are poles apart.

SLC campus where "High School Musical" was filmed still feeling the impact 10 ...


High School Musical 1 - The Start Of Something New
Please enable Javascript to watch this video

SALT LAKE CITY A movie filmed right here in Salt Lake City enjoyed a tremendous surge of popularity when it premiered, and 10 years later East High School is still feeling the impact of "High School Musical."

The Disney movie starring Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale was a smash hit when it debuted in January 2006, and Thursday FOX 13 News Danica Lawrence was at the campus in Salt Lake City as they celebrated the 10 year anniversary of the film.

While it has a decadesince the movie premiered, fans still come by the school to tour the shooting location.

We"ve seen High School Musical, so we just kind of wanted to tour the school, said Emma Lefavor.

Emma and her sisters, Kate and Sophie, walked through the Wildcats campus, where they saw their favorite pink locker, which belonged to the character Sharpay.

Whitney Watchman, assistant principal at East High School, said they are proud of their schools place in film history.

I will come after a football game, and there will be like eight or nine girls at the doors kind of peering in, and Ill let them in, and they"ll think that they just have the keys to the kingdom, Watchman said.

Ro Malaga was an assistant choreographer and principaldancer who worked on all three of the "High School Musical" films.

I can"t believe that it"s still popular! Malaga said Thursday.

Malaga said walking the halls of East High brought back years of memories for him.

It"s incredible that [director] Kenny Ortega"s vision of it being that generation"s "Grease" has passed on and has taken a life of its own, and not just to the Utah community, but also just a worldwide community, Malaga said.

While touring the gymnasium from the famous musical number Were All in this Together, Malaga showed FOX 13 News Danica Lawrence some of the dance moves. See the video aboveto see Danica learning her steps.

If you make the rounds of the campus, dont forget the bookstore, where High School Musical T-shirts are still on sale.

Tila Tequila Just Might Be The Greatest Philosopher Of Our Generation


Tila Tequila: MK Ultra Programming Malfunction
You could use a vacation.

Enter to win your dream cruise.

I have an apology to make. I might have been a little too quick to judge Tila Tequila and her Twitter rampage yesterday. I used words like insane and cray cray. But you know who else was called crazy? Einstein. Newton. Darwin.

What Im trying to say is Tila Tequila is the new Copernicus.

Consider her theory on time.Time doesnt exist. Time is a social construct. We are all slaves to the social construct.Yep.

This is subversive and cutting edge on so many levels.

What is the leafness of a leaf? The macaroni-ness of a macaroni? We give objects names and supply meaning, but that does not define what they are.

Who makes up any of the rules? Is there a higher power at work? What are we?!Evidence that wormholes do exist.Pretty sure thats along the lines of what Ghandi was saying.Ghandi said that too.

Sometimes, true genius is not of this world. Sometimes, brilliant theories come from unlikely places, like Mars.

All Im saying is we shouldnt dismiss Tila too quickly.

You wont want to be on the wrong side of this one in case it comes out that the world is, in fact, flat, and we are all lizard people, which, to be honest, isnt that hard to believe in a place like Los Angeles.
