French miniseries "La Dame de Monsoreau" ended after only two 90 minute episodes. To our American ears, that sounds like a brief run. But having watched this clip, we suspect it was an attempt to prevent hotness overload.

Maybe things are different in France, but if we knew there was a regularly recurring show that was offering up full frontal nudity, why, we wouldn't be able to watch anything else—in fact, we'd probably stay glued to our TV all day in hopes of catching a rerun, or clip rehashed on the morning news. And can you imagine what would happen to our productivity? Nothing would get done (well, except...). Clearly, limiting the run to but two episodes was for the protection of the French—and we should all be thanking their government for that.
