Henry the VIII is h-o-t

If you're like me, and don't have any premium channels on your cable package, you too may have been pining fruitlessly over the subway ads and posters on construction sites around NYC for Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Henry 8 in the new Showtime series "The Tudors." Well, kids, thanks to the wonders of the internet, even those of us without pay-cable can feast our eyes on the yummy. Showtime's website is offering a free preview of the first two episodes; edited, no doubt, but still a fine first look. And though it's quiet enough at the office today for me to get away with starting a viewing party now, I'll wait instead, and have something to watch at home while I wait for Doyce and Kaylee to land.
