THE DARK AGES clip 1- The History Channel. Premieres 3/4/07

After the fall of Rome and before the rebirth of the Renaissance, Europe survived six centuries of continental revolution characterized by famine, plague and bloodshed -- a time known as the Dark Ages. At its worst, life in the Dark Ages was miserable, brutish and — for the fortunate — short. But through the darkness shone scattered rays of light, men and women who tended the flame of progress while the world around them descended into chaos. Those points of light brought about the footprint of modern Europe both politically and culturally. The two-hour special THE DARK AGES explores the unprecedented period spanning the fall of Rome and Europe's "medieval awakening."

THE DARK AGES premieres Sunday, March 4th at 9 p.m. ET/PT on The History Channel®.

Ohhhh...the conventional date for the fall of the Roman Empire is 476 Dc with the removal of Romolo Augustolo as Emperor of Rome (the western part as a matter of fact)...Please Hollywood history makers, learn a bit first...It might help you causing less troubles around the world!

wow...if you had actually watched the whole program you would know they talk about the misconception and inaccuracy of using the term 'dark ages'...the history channel must have just thought the title made for better tv...but at least they acknowledged it. And no this series isn't full of shit...while there are some trivial inconsistencies, the lot of it was quite accurate. This is coming from someone who received a Bachelor's degree in History with an emphasis on Europe and the Middle Ages.
