[SCA-AE] RE: [Historic-HornAntlerBone] New Robin Hood Series on BBC America

[Rob Baldassano]

Entertainment factor is a HIGH demand in my book. 
   
  If they are inaccurate on how they portray certain aspects, so be it, but make it fun to watch. 
   
  If any of you sat through A Knights Tale, and noticed the zipper...
  Who cared about that, the action was fun, the girl was cute if way too waifish for my tastes, and Chaucer did a passable job at being a lout. :D
   
  I haven't watched any TV but kids shows and Discovery channel for almost 3 years now, so I will take people's opinions for what they are... 
  I couldn't stand the reality tv shows any more, and had to "step away from the babysitter" err TV. :D
   
  (And if you recognized that quote... then good for you)

I agree.
I can't believe the nitpicking about authenticity. If I wanted 
historical accuracy, I wouldn't be watching TV: I'd be heading for the 
closed stacks at the Carnegie Library main branch, with a stack of 
request slips in my grubby little palm.
What I wanted from the new "Robin Hood" series was light entertainment, 
and I got it (of course this included stopping the recording and making 
the appropriate snarky comments, such as the dyer's daughter with the 
*serious* blue eyeshadow, when necessary).
I liked the old show "Covington Cross", too -- and we know how 
historically accurate *that* was. :-)
