Amazon.com already has the first season of "The Tudors" listed as forthcoming on their site. But no release date or cost has been set. My local Best Buy carries DVDs of HBO series available on DVD so I will probably check for it there when it comes out.
I don't get HBO, but what pics I've seen of the costuming, a blue-eyed Anne Boleyn, and Sam Neill as Wolsey(well, okay, real-life actors have to be easier on the eyes than resembling real people) historical accuracy wasn't the first concern of this production. Let me know if I'm wrong.

Thanks for the update! Maybe I should see if the first season will be out on DVD, I could use a good comedy series to watch. Yes, the post I got was from Peace Arch, a rather bizarre name for a film production company. My favorite part of the post was also from an explanation of the series, something about Henry taking on the "all-powerful Catholic Church." That statement begs for arguments of all sorts, but the best one is that if he got rid of it, then it wasn't exactly all-powerful! This one is pretty good, too, especially the part about Elizabeth being the greatest ruler in English history. One of them, sure. But that's quite a claim. How about, say, William the Conquerer? Oh well, I guess it will be around for at least one more year...
