Amazon reportedly eyeing a 'Lord of the Rings' TV series

lol why?
LOTR was 10 years ago and there were already like 30 hours of film out there.
because fantasy worlds can make for good tv, especially if done correctly. have you heard of this show called game of thrones?
I almost didn’t watch Game of Thrones because I thought it would be like Lord of the Rings lol. They put me to sleep every time I try and watch them.
I'd watch. There's a ton of lore out there that would make for a good show. I wonder whether they'll make it a side story running parallel to the movies or a brand new story.
In that case ... I just skip the celeb skin and go right for the modeling gold, no plot, just to the (or my) point. I mean, if I want to see half-@$$ed 'drama' with nudity, I'll pull up some '80s B movies (NOT!).
Seriously, my mind has been insulted with so many piss poor writing in TV series, I have literally left the viewing audience.
Even the short-lived Dilbert prime time cartoon quickly became a total run of continuous, sexual innuendo well of of Scott Adams' forte. That's the best example of how something that is good can be ruined by TV writers -- cable or even network TV. They quickly alienate some of their most supportive audience -- pre-show.
So while a LotR series might be great, I have a feeling it would devolve into some typical non-sense like a lot of things these series seem to sport.
The last series I really enjoyed was AMC's Halt'n Catch Fire, and even it flirted with the sex (well outside of the required plot detail) a bit too much at times (although finally got away from it after awhile). I guess that's why I really don't care for what most TV writers come up with.
And if I want skin, I might as well just go right to the point, if that's what I want. I'm not 13 with parents who are preventing me from watching anything but what the networks think is 'censor-approved.'

Kinda makes me laugh when they says "Adult situations," because to me, it's rather teenager'ish. Doesn't shock me that most Europeans make fun of our American TV.
