What would Chaucer watch?

If Chaucer owned a television set, what would he watch?

Nothing, of course. He had no electricity. And even if he did have power, his house had no outlets. And, even without a writer's strike, there were no shows. You had to read stuff in boring manuscripts that didn't attempt to flog snack foods and laxatives every ten minutes.

But if you want a merrier answer to that philosophical question, check out the back-to-life Chaucer blog. Though personally I believe Chaucer would have watched Curb Your Enthusiasm.
