Ok, I totally want to see this.

If only to see how good or bad it is. A new drama about Henry VIII will be airing on Showtime, starting Sunday. Being Showtimeless, I've asked my parents if they would tape it for me. If not, well, I guess I'll find some way to see it. Between Doctor Who Saturday and Tudor Sunday, not a bad TV weekend for one of my interests...!

What I've been led to understand from the billions of trailers that Showtime has been running is that the show is about how many hot women can Henry sleep with in an hour long episode. I'm sure there is much more to the show then just sex but that is all the Showtime seems to be pushing. Now don't get me wrong I will definitely watch the first episode because of the hot women aspect, but beyond that I'm not sure.

As I've found out my parents don't get Showtime any more, I may or may not be able to see it for myself. ;-) I do hope there's more substance in the show than it sounds like is in the trailers; if you do watch it, let me know, ok?

Hey did you see that Alison Weir has a novel about Jane Grey?

I did. It is on my Zooba list; I should be getting it in June! :-)

I'm reading it now. It's pretty good - an interesting departure for her.

Cool--I'm looking forward to it! Her most recent bio of Isabella was really good too, if you haven't read it--and a big step up from her previous one of Mary, Queen of Scots.
