Well, but I'd bet you could recite word-for-word the entire 1-3 seasons of
Buffy by rote :) I wonder if there would be any interest in "Pliny's
World" which would be 'reality TV' only done in historical context and
costume. Maybe throw in a few baccnalian orgies and a few chicks with big
boobs and it might have a chance to teach a little history and latin to
kids glued to the TV :) 

As a point of interest wrt 'et tu, Brute', there is some evidence to
suggest that Brutus was his son and he likely only said 'Et tu?' to Brutus
as he enjoyed his moment of patricide.
