But that's not my main guilty pleasure: I am addicted to watching "Tudors" on it. When the kids are gone, I'm watching episode after episode. And no, it's not all that straight sex that interests me, or even the historical story (in the sense of history, because it is only loosely, very loosely, historical) but the historical trappings. Seriously. I love the dresses and the doublets, the heavy furniture and gilt furnishings, the castles and carriages, the music and the merriment.
Sure, for me now, it's Renaissance England, as in the past it has been ancient Greece and Rome, colonial America, or Georgian/Regency/Victorian London. Anything before the mid-20th century.
Call it "period porn." I can't get enough.
