It looks to me like it is going to be steampunkish Victorian. I wasn't impressed with the actor playing Dracula when he was badly miscast for Henry VIII in the Tudors.

I'll reserve judgment til I see it, but am not getting my hopes up. Notably it was scheduled in the last hour of prime time on Friday night, usually a sign the network is doubtful about it.

I don't mind steam punk. I want a historical drama sooooo badly

Yeah it looks like falling nicely into the "guilty pleasure" slot!

Can't be too guilty, it's on network TV so everyone has to keep at least some clothes on.

Being on Showtime was Tudor's one saving grace.

There was some heavy grinding n pushin in the trailer, so I'll take that.

In the end I am just glad there are shows on cause I am getting quite annoyed by the countless reality shows that just become more ridiculous as time goes on.

Me three.

But I was quite happy to see from the new fall schedule they are on the definite decline, at least on network television. The only I remember seeing are either contest shows like American Idol or game shows, both of whoch I find tolerable unless the gameshow gets too stupid (e.g. Wipeout!).

I will definitely be watching this come fall.

Right now I'm watching The White Queen. I was so excited about the show since Spartacus is no more. Then I found out it's based on Phillipa Gregory novels! Oh well, at least I get my period piece fix every week.

Ah! I loved that show. I never saw the last season. Thats with Lucy Lawless right?

There is always downton Abbey for a period fix. I am also into Hell on Wheels but that can get a little icky sometimes. Sometimes I wish I was in England cause they seem to have more than we do.
