It's true, the History channel used to focus on historically accurate facts and I loved watching it.

Now it just creates more of the same crap TV that you see everywhere else. The Knowledge Network and Animal Planet are much the same.

Where did all the true documentaries go?

Television is just a hole, generally. Not that I was ever their main market, but at least I could flip it on at three in the morning and catch some REALLY bad but amusing B-movie being run to fill time in their programming. Now they just put infomercials on in those time periods. On every station.

They used to play actual documentaries on the History Channel. Now it's usually something like "History's TOP TEN BIGGEST EXPLOSIONS" or Wrestling if I give it a go.

The success of mythbusters, dirty jobs and reality television was not kind to Discovery channels programming.

Holy shit nicole stop complaining you don't even have a tvOK SIGNING OFF

What bothers me even is the stupid pawn shop show on the History Channel! Talk about a major WTF!


I like where they show "Real and Not" or something, where they show a historically-accurate movie about the Apollo program, culminating in Armstrong's first step.

Then they show 2001:A Space Odessey because like, there's like moon stuff in it.

TIL there is a show called I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant... how the fuck could you not know for 9 months? I need to take over the Discovery networks and stop stupid shit like this (and lots of the junk on TLC of late)... while I'm at it I'll take History channel over and get rid of Ancient Aliens and other non-history shows... and Sy-Fy and turn it back to Sci-Fi and bring it back to what it was supposed to be...

This is sort of how I discovered Dog the Bounty Hunter, but via South Park...

Looks like someone watched a little too much History channel before work this morning and really wanted to show off his brand new word.

The woman who looked like Hilary Clinton didn't seem sincere. Her face didn't convey what her words were saying, like she's been coached. Otherwise, not bad! I'll break from my no-upvotes-for-History-Channel rule for this.

The modern entertainment industry has made me bitter, but I'm pretty certain it's as simple as:

Ratings begin to drop for the networks.
The networks try different approaches to improve amount of viewers.
One approach, making every production cinematic and dramatically themed, seems to spark a rise in viewership.
The network bosses take it as a sign as the right way to go, and the rest is... the History channel. (see what I did there?!)

I still hate it.

And yeah, I've been waiting for this mission and watching it progress the whole time as well. Despite the awkward approach to the decent, I hope they have great success and find lots of science.

Psst.., That's called graphite, not lead (in pencils)


hah, you know your right. infact our pencils never used lead.. it was implied in TV shows and movies at the time for comedic value but yea, its always been graphite huh. Where was the history channel when I was 10.

The History channel has really gotten bad. It's not just the alien and UFO stuff, but all the bible crap and "what is hell really like?" bs, and, recently, "what/where/who will the antichrist look like/appear/be?". Just down the shitter, like MTV. MTV doesn't play music, and History channel doesn't do history anymore.

History is for for sifts that would qualify as 'historical documents.' (taken right from the channel description), Just because it is a compilation does not mean it is a historical document in the spirit of the history channel.

Talks is devoted to talks, which means speeches, lectures, debates and discussions (taken right from the channel description). Random interviews for comedic purposes does not equal a speech, lecture, debate, or discussion.

I've removed it from both history and talks as I do not belive it fits either of those channels. More channel assignments do not improve the individual video or the sift when they are not applicable, that just waters down the channels.

Why history and talks???
>> ^ant:
nsfw history talks femmes


History = Compilation from previous videos.
Talks = Interviews

That History channel reference is quite out of date at this point (they've pretty much entirely replaced Hitler with random reality shows), and I don't think he really understood the Blu-ray question, but John Cleese is awesome and will always be awesome.

History Channel presents..
