<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1855333, member: 19463&quot;]In its day, <u>I Claudius</u> was considered a great work of historical-autobiography and faithful to history.&nbsp; Anything that was on TV in 1970 was cleaned up to a point that it might miss the flavor of the era but at least they covered the murders if not dwelling on every vice known to man.&nbsp; That would have to wait for later gross-epics.&nbsp; <u>I, Claudius </u>was early in the genre of TV mini-series and might seem a little dated rather like Kirk Douglas was in <u>Sparticus</u> (not the recent STARZ bloodbath version).&nbsp; I have to think the gross as we can get 2000&#039;s versions of Roman culture might be more accurate but that doesn&#039;t make them worth watching.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure how one would make a better PG rated version of the material covered.&nbsp;&nbsp; What people did to people, and still do, is not always easy to turn into entertaining family TV programming.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
