Ross's Ramblings - Movies, TV, Pop Culture, Politics...

A 26 Year Old Music and History Graduate hailing originally from Adelaide and now living in Melbourne Australia. Here I will spill my small thoughts on anything I feel applicable... Beware.

Rome wasn't built in a day.... If only 9 Australia understood that about TV

Rome. Ancient Rome. A place of sex, violence, politics and Drama. At least according to the HBO series.

This is a fantastic piece of television. Suspend your disbelief, your historical belief even more so, and you'll find one of the most lucious, funny, and beautifully conceived pieces of television ever made.

Sadly for Australians, who is the wonderful network that bought this fantastic show to screen on free to air for our public? None other than the late K.B.Packer's PBL owned Channel 9. So we in Australia can look forward to seeing it shown in prime time for a week or two, before it's chopped and changed around until it's eventually taken off until off ratings or simply never seen again.

Some of us still remember The West Wing Mr Packer Jr. And some of us now find other ways to watch our TV.

Watch this TV show. Just don't wait till Channel Nine Fucks it up for you...
