Terry Jones' "Medieval Lives" are playing on History Channel now.

Check it out. Quite humorous and informative.

1. "Stinky peasants!" n/t

[bullimiami]

2. I saw a couple of them last week

Peasants and I cant remember the other one. They are great.

3. Delightful, isn't it?

One of the very rare shows I'd consider getting on DVD.

4. Lots of Fresh (to Me) Info

like, CHAUCER was "disappeared" for his satirizing the powers that be, the Peasants' Revolt demanding the abolition of the aristocracy, the Church NOT being anti-science, and on and on. And who were the outlaw aristocrats-----the FALWELLs?

[Fenris]

7. Indeed, Chaucer wrote a retraction stating that he meant no offense

Which was clearly written to ease the pressure on him from the church authorities.

5. Thank Goodness for TiVo

It was too gorgeous a morning to be on the couch. Can't wait to watch.

6. I enjoyed "Medieval Lives"

Not much to watch on the boob tube, besides "The Daily Show with Jon Stewert" and great shows like "Medieval Lives." I love Monty Python. Did you hear Eric Idle's "fuck you very much FCC" song?

I wish Rowen Atkins would start a new "Black Adder" series making fun of Blair and Parliment, or something like that.
