The setting and situations remind me of Downton Abbey so it does come as a surprising jar when the girls mention facebook, for instance. Ha, ha.

I loved the original -- but I can see why the issues you point out would be problematic, in terms of whether the basic premise even makes any sort of sense in a modern setting.
