RE :”I assume you mean “The Tudors,” as opposed to something to do with preparing for the SAT ... although that might be an amusing reality show.
I saw part of one episode when my husband put it on Netflix, said, “I’m not watching this filth,” and went to bed with a cat.”

I don't want to shock you but that REAL King in real life had 6 wives and way many lovers in between and he had two wives and multiple foes executed.
Ever hear of the Tower of London ? That wasn't Sunday school or confession,

I enjoyed that show that portrayed his life as more realistically the way it was rather than some watered down version made to look like Little House on the Prairie or Highway to Heaven. GAG.

BBC America plays the series without the nudity or occasional violent scenes but the frequent commercials are very annoying. I liked it's run on ShowTime and saved some of them on my computer off the internet.

You're kidding, really?

OK, you two shouldn’t get me going, now we are in for some fun :)

I can just imagine the Tudors version created by the “Family Friendly World that Never existed” Channel

Michael Landon Plays the King Henry VIII and with such bad luck like Job his wives die of cancer, heart attack, the flu and falling off a horse. Each death the King is weeping (as is the audience) as Landon (the King Tudor) cries “God why didn’t you take me instead??” And God answers his prayers each time with another faithful wife,

But the bright side is how great a dad the King was with his three children and the joy and tears and laughter....Oh Christmas and Church and dad humbleness...

GAG LOL

A biography can be depicted without showing people having sex, even though we know he did so. A biography can be depicted without showing the subject using the toilet, even though we know he or she must have done so several times a day. Showing sex scenes is a choice to titillate the audience, not to be “historically accurate.”

A lot of people like to watch handsome actors simulating sex, so there’s no mystery, from the producers’ point of view, about why that’s chosen over showing them pooping or delousing or having an enema.
