4. Doctor Who & Downton Abbey
Season 3 Episode 1 - "Biology 101" When Abeds beloved show, Cougar Town, gets pushed back to mid-season, he becomes worried that it might get cancelled. Britta tries to help by finding Abed a new show to obsess over. She first discovers that Cougar Town is based off a British series called Cougarton Abbey, a spoof of the popular drama series Downton Abbey. Abed is crushed once again when he finds out that Cougarton Abbey only lasted 6 episodes and all the characters died at the end. Troy tells Britta to stop trying to help because she keeps hurting Abed. Britta doesn't give up and finds Abed a series that has been on since the 60's, a show about space and time travel. Britta introduces Abed to
Inspector Spacetime, a reference to the popular BBC series Doctor Who. Abed announces that it's his new favorite show and it reappears often throughout season 3. It was announced that in the upcoming season, Troy an Abed will go to an Inspector Spacetime convention. Hopefully they won't run into any Blorgans.
