3. And Then There's "Rome" On HBO

Not quite as historically accurate as the History Channel series, I'm sure. But the gratuitous full-frontal shots of big-bottomed women emerging from their baths somewhat makes up for it, to my way of thinking.

Sorry for the detour. Please reclaim your thread and have a nice day.....

4. Hold up. They're NOT talking about Hitler or WWII?
Seriously?

Wow!
