This contest is over! Provisional congrats to @tstorhoff!!!



I am – Hercules!!


In celebration of my first decade manning Ain’t It Cool’s TV desk, we are giving away TV box sets like they are going out of style!

All you have to do is:

1) “Follow” me on Twitter.

2) Monitor my Twitter account between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. Pacific Time Monday, July 19. At some point during this window I will post a question on that Twitter account. One of the first readers to correctly answer this question via Twitter will win Rome: The Complete Second Season, which is one of the best seasons of anything ever.

IMPORTANT!! The question will begin with “RQ.”

IMPORTANT!! Your Twittered answer MUST begin with @hercAICN. Don’t screw this up!

IMPORTANT!! This contest is available only to residents of the United States.

IMPORTANT!! If Herc provisionally declares you a winner, immediately forward your shipping address and phone number to herculesAICN@yahoo.com. If you fail to do so within 24 hours, Herc will assign the prize to another.

Even if you’re a giant loser today, look for more supercool prizing in the coming days and weeks!

    I'd want it but I already have it

    by big jim

    Good thing too as I don't use Twitter and my house is not located within the contest zone. On the Venn diagram that represents the people who might enter this contest, where Circle A = People Who Read This SiteCircle B = People Who Use TwitterCircle C = People Who Live in the USI would site solely in Circle A

    Possibly the best show ever made

    by frodofraggins

    Season two was a step down but not a gigantic one. The only shows I put on par with Rome are Deadwood and the Sopranos. Sorry to offend the Wire fans, but the acting in The Wire is just not on the level of those shows.

    Spartacuss

    by jedibobster

    If you enjoyed Rome then at least give Spartacus:Blood and Sand a try. I went into it hoping it would be a cheesy crazy CG bloodfest to rip the piss out of. But I'll be damned if by episode 4 or so I found myself enjoying the show for what it was. It's well paced, has plenty of boobage and John Hannah gets to be the Malcolm Tucker of Roman times. Brilliant. And if there's another show that has used the term 'cock' in more creative ways than this than please point me towards it.
