History channel is a couple of midgets away from turning into TLC.

They really should be legally obligated to put history in quotation marks at this point.

Dude, at least TLC started off good, I really miss that show "Archaeology" that they used to have on.

I remember I once watched an hour-long documentary on the Panzerschreck

The makers of this documentary have probably played a bit too much Assassins creed

In the 90's The History Channel was all-Hitler, all-the-time. Then, they became more general-history oriented. Then, in the last few years they've realized: "Well, fuck. We've done fifteen documentaries on Alexander the Great, seven on the Magna Carta, and FIVE on Dutch Tulipmania. What the hell do we do now?" They've solved their dilemma by make more and more documentaries aimed at paranoid schizophrenics to expand their base.

My guess is that in another decade they'll do "The History of BOOBIES" shortly before getting pulled off air by A&E.

Why not combine them all?


I swear to god they once had a "Sex and the Swastika" documentary.

Now ghosts and dudes who drive trucks are history. Fuck you, History Channel.

I don't have cable, but my parents do, and it seems like every time I watch TV at their place, I find CSI: New York on the History Channel.

Fuck you, television.

There's a lot of wingnut bating as well. I know there was a special about how Iran is so evil along with plenty of apocalypse porn.

Hell, they had one show about surviving the collapse of society and at one point the douchebag host went on about how libraries are great storehouses for maps and survival information. He even said "You may not have a library card now, but after the apocalypse you will." Talk about knowing your audience.

They still dedicate a few hours to Hitler.

We're forgetting the "Da Vinci Code" fad, which had the channel tossing out code/religion based shows like crazy for a year or so. I'm very sure that was a gateway drug into the Aliens stuff.

Even National Geographic has gotten pretty bad. Maybe my beard is getting longer, I dunno. But every time I see hear mention the Shroud of Turin as if it's an unsolved mystery, I die a little inside.

National Geographic does Is It Real? which is a great show in that they do some batshit theory and show all the evidence for it for 45 minutes, then spend 15 minutes with actual experts showing that it is not real.

Some guy keeps coming in to my work and telling me about this show and he always asks me to order stuff on the Annunaki and Alex Jones. Also, for bonus awesome, he believes that reptoids are disguising themselves and passing themselves off as human so they can infiltrate our culture. I laughed but he said yeah "I used to be just like you!" But now he totally believes in reptoids and ancient aliens after seeing all the proof.

The reason the pyramids got built is because what ancient Egypt did for fun, rather than watching History Channel, was to whip people who weren't building the pyramids fast enough. History Channel is the -1th wonder of the world.

I was going to dedicate my stars to all comments, but now, they are yours sir.

kennydra
thanks ape god for putting that so eloquently. i've seen the commercials for this show and that was enough for me to vote this up in the hopper without even watching it.
