  • Joss Stone Marries Into Tudors Family | Today's News: Our Take | 8/5/2008
    Henry VIII is getting a fourth wife, and this time she is a British R&B singer.Joss Stone will be joining Showtime's racy royal drama, The Tudors, playing Anne of Cleves. According to the Reporter, Stone's character is the daughter of a German nobleman, and was betrothed to Henry through a marriage treaty after he laid eyes on her portrait. Upon Anne's arrival in England, however, Henry is less than thrilled because his new wifey's appearance isn't as expected.Season 3 will also follow the... read more
  • Tudor Finale Loses One Head, Gains Many Others | Today's News: Our Take | 6/3/2008
    Showtime's The Tudors wrapped up its second season on Sunday with a 9 pm audience of 852,000 total viewers — an 83 percent increase over the first airing of last year's season-ender. (Anne Boleyn and "Sara Tancredi" should get together in Heaven for tea.)Adding in the 11 pm rebroadcast, the episode drew 1.1 million, aka 59 percent more folks than caught the first two airings of Season 1's finale.The 9 pm telecast represents the second largest audience ever for The Tudors, trailing on the... read more
  • Season 2, Episode 10 | TV Show Recaps | 6/2/2008
    The problem with shows based on history is that rarely is there a surprise. Considering that the minute we met Anne, we knew her expiration date, I think The Tudors took a wise approach in making her execution episode (and, sadly, the second season finale) more of a mood piece than even trying to shock us with gratuitous blood or emotional outbursts. After all, we already got that last week.Henry, save for one angry moment, was surprisingly unconcerned with the fate of his wife and daughter.... read more
  • Season 2, Episode 9 | TV Show Recaps | 5/26/2008
    These bloody days have broken my heart.My lust, my youth did them depart,And blind desire of estate.Who hastes to climb seeks to revert.Of truth, circa Regna tonat.-Sir Thomas WyattAt least out of the carnage came the beautiful poem V. Innocentia Veritas Viat Fides Circumdederunt me inimici mei, the full text of which can be found here. Unfortunately, to get it, we had to say goodbye to Messrs. Smeaton, Boleyn, Norris and Brereton, while Thomas ("I'm the only who's guilty!) Wyatt, and Thomas... read more
  • Season 2, Episode 7 | TV Show Recaps | 5/12/2008
    “If you could read Greek, Master Smeaton, you’d know that even the gods had problems with their wives.” — George BoleynIf that quotation doesn’t just about sum up all that is The Tudors, I don’t know what does. Had I started watching this show without knowing anything about the history of England, I’d probably be under the impression that all of Europe’s problems in the 16th century were due exclusively to Henry VIII’s bats*** exes. Luckily, we all... read more
  • Season 2, Episode 6 | TV Show Recaps | 5/5/2008
    Not that I approve of the whole going-insane-with-jealousy thing, but the feminist in me can't help herself from saying good for Anne for calling Henry on what he's doing. Now, I doubt that he has a real harem, as she seems to think, but she definitely knows that he's got more lady friends than just Madge (who I'm thinking is the inside spy Brereton spoke to Chapuys about; the one who claimed that Anne was deformed). Plus, she's patently aware of the fact that the more women he sleeps with, the... read more
  • Season 2, Episode 5 | TV Show Recaps | 4/28/2008
    Alas, More is no more (you knew there was going to be a groan-inducing pun sooner or later). It was a set up, I tell you, a set up! Entrapment! The whole system was against him! I joke, but it's true. Cromwell and Richard Rich played Gotcha with Sir Thomas, even though it seemed that both were sympathetic to his plight. But the fact that More, with his legal and scholarly training, fell for the "hypothetical" gives me the impression that he was, by this point, so resigned, and ready to get this... read more
  • Tudors Down with a Third Season, Two More Wives | Today's News: Our Take | 4/22/2008
    Showtime has greenlit The Tudors, which is currently six episodes into its sophomore run, for a third season to start shooting June 16 in Dublin, Ireland, with an eye on an early-2009 premiere."The Tudors is now a fixture for us," says Showtime president of entertainment Robert Greenblatt, "and we're on our way to completing the entire saga of all six wives of Henry VIII."Indeed, next in line to be made Hank's wife during Season 3 are (Spoiler alert) Jane "Not the One from Dancing with the... read more
  • Season 2, Episode 4 | TV Show Recaps | 4/21/2008
    I once saw a program on The History Channel that described Henry VIII as a glutton and showed him ripping into a cooked chicken with such gusto that it looked as though he'd fare well on the competitive eating circuit. The Tudors is teaching me that he went through women at nearly the same rate he went through chicken. In the space of fourteen episodes, we've seen him bed 5 or 6 women at least, and we're only on wife number two!Luckily, we're finally seeing the kind of complex character we had... read more
  • A Sunday for the History Books | Matt Roush | 4/18/2008
    I love it when TV can be both very, very good as well as good for you. Such is the case with a logjam of terrific historical dramas competing for attention this Sunday. Two of them had me fighting back tears (and occasionally losing the fight), and then there’s Showtime’s The Tudors, that stimulating royal tonic of sex, religion and other courtly intrigues. Not a lot of boo-hooing while watching this Henry VIII romp, but rarely a dull moment, either.The quality honors this weekend go... read more
  • Of Kings and Cons: A Second Look | Matt Roush | 4/16/2008
    When a show gets to its sophomore year, it gives you a chance to reassess your first impressions. So it is with two high-profile cable dramas midway through their second seasons. I find I’m even more enthralled by Showtime’s costume melodrama The Tudors than I was a year ago, while FX’s bizarre family saga The Riches leaves me colder than it did initially. It helps that The Tudors has such rich source material, even if this frat-boy take on 16th-century royal romance and... read more
  • Season 2, Episode 3 | TV Show Recaps | 4/14/2008
    And they say that women are fickle! I suppose Henry has just gotta have it, so to speak. Never mind that he's wondering why the people don't love his new Queen when he so obviously doesn't any more, but he's back into blondes? The brunettes on this show don't get much luck. First, Katherine doesn't get alimony and then Anne gets a stare of such cold fury that had I been one of her Ladies, I'd have told her to start packing her bags right then and there. Of course there's also Lady Mary, who is... read more
  • Season 2, Episode 2 | TV Show Recaps | 4/7/2008
    Welcome to second season blog for The Tudors: The show that portrays the dangers, intrigues and machinations that came with living in a time before the existence of indoor plumbing (and thus cold showers).Before diving into this week's episode, here's the shortest possible, and admittedly, most superficial recap of what happened in the season opener: Henry still couldn't get the Church to grant him a divorce from Katherine and so started proceedings to break away from the Pope by appointing... read more
  • Peter O'Toole Gets Religion on The Tudors | Today's News: Our Take | 4/4/2008
    From Lawrence of Arabia to Caligula to Troy, Peter O'Toole has a knack for playing historical figures to the hilt. Now, the eight-time Oscar nominee is robing up as Pope Paul III on The Tudors (Sundays at 9 pm/ET, Showtime) and he's ready to confess. TV Guide: What made you decide to take this role?Peter O'Toole: It is beautifully written with some stunning scenes and some terrifying ones. Pope Paul III was the greatest thief in the history of the church. The guy skinned 'em! TV... read more
  • Jeers: The Tudors — Oh, Henry.... | Cheers & Jeers | 3/31/2008
    Jeers to Jonathan Rhys Meyers for his one-note performance on The Tudors. No, make that two-note: As King Henry VIII, he swings between pouting and rage with nothing in between. Such a limited emotional palette suited Rhys Meyers fine when he played a shallow sociopath in Woody Allen's Match Point, but it quickly grows dull to watch on a weekly TV series. (And does anybody else think it's historically improbable that Henry is prettier than any of his wives so far?) In the bodice-ripper's second... read more
  • Regarding Henry: The Tudors Second-season Preview | Today's News: Our Take | 3/28/2008
    In The Tudors' (Sundays at 9 pm/ET, Showtime) steamy second season, Henry VIII becomes a royal pain for Anne Boleyn — and the pope.King Henry VIII is all grown up and has politics — and sex — on his mind. In the second season of Showtime's bodice ripper The Tudors, Jonathan Rhys Meyers relates to the monarch's new maturity. "I like growing older," he muses, sitting in his trailer at Dublin's Ard­more Studios, puffing on a Marlboro Light. "I just turned 30, and it does... read more
