I agree, we do need a newer, longer and more accurate adaptation of Northanger Abbey. I hadn't seen them in a long time so thank you so much for the link, I really enjoyed re-watching the 'Pup Fiction' episode! Wishbone is very charming as Mr. I used to watch Wishbone all the time with my younger siblings when it was on PBS! I remember watching the P&P and NA episodes about the same time as my parents had watched Sense & Sensibility 1995 and I was being introduced to Jane Austen. Tilney is my favorite literary hero! Also with events mixed around it's not a completely faithful adaptation, and no one has ever gotten Northanger Abbey itself right.

You sentiments closely echo my own.
