I disagree, Brinn. You can get boobs in a fraction of a second on the Internet, if that's what you want. No one watches GoT for boobs. That's just bonus.
If you don't like magic and monsters, the show would be unwatchable. Now, granted, it has great characters and an intricate plot. If not for that, no amount of magic and monsters could capture a widespread audience. However, that just means it's *good* fantasy. If the LOTR series is also good (characters, plot), then it will gain a widespread audience. LOTR is one of the most widely read books in history. It already has a built in audience of millions. The movies made billions. [Someone
did demonstrate a potential for financial success of this story in a visual medium: his name was Peter Jackson!] This is a no-brainer.
As SRD says, fantasy is the oldest form of storytelling. I think everyone has the potential to like it, when it's done well. The human spirit is geared toward these metaphors for reasons that are embedded in our DNA.
Besides, there is plenty of violence in LOTR. There is also lots of "political" intrigue. These can be played up, if necessary.
