How come period pieces are almost always dramas, anyway? I want to watch a sitcom about a dude in renaissance-era Tuscany trying to get rich quick by scamming the local merchant princes.

The time that Leonardo da Vinci and Niccolo Machiavelli teamed up to steal a river would make an excellent buddy comedy, and nothing will convince me otherwise.

I’ve had a buddy comedy in my brain for years about the Spanish Match, focusing on the big wacky road trip taken by George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham, and Prince Charles to secure Charles’s marriage to Infanta Maria Anna of Spain

I realized immediately that I would call it “Buck and Chuck’s Excellent Adventure,” and then I had to step out of my History of England class because I almost asphyxiated from trying not to laugh in the middle of lecture
