Much like Spock returning to his home planet to spawn, every now and again I am seized by an uncontrollable urge to watch all 13 hours of the BBC/PBS series “I, Clavdivs.” I’ve seen in three times before, I’ve written a mammoth paper about it in school and I’ve read two Robert Graves novels upon which the series is based (although, oddly, I can only find the second, “Claudius The God,” here at the house.” Anyway, I was up late watching the first two episodes (Marsellus and Drusus have already been whacked) and I’m about to fire up episode three. For those of you who’d like to play along, you can click on this link to hear the opening/closing theme — second only to “Good Times” as the greatest TV theme in history. For the Senate and the People of Rome!!!
