Add to it Howard F'n Stern and cable "comedy" channel.
Emtpy filth crap, with "history" channel closing in fast.
I agree completely. I used to like the History Channel. And how about The Learning Channel? Nothing but vapid nonsense there.
You've just contradicted this article...if people are turning aways from anti family-values entertainment, why are people turning out in droves for satellite radio for Howard Stern and in record numbers to watch cable TV fare? People still want Empty filth, they just want it in the privacy of their own homes. It's the overt political agenda that people are turning away from. You watch any episode of and FX series or an HBO series and it's pretty graphically sexual with lots of filthy language. But the shows are great. I watch all of them.
Good comment, and agree about the History Channel. Occasionally there is something of value there but more and more it has become distortion and sensation.
You're being too hard on Comedy Central, which would be redeemed by "South Park" even if it were a lot worse.
As for the History Channel . . . well, ever since the Military Channel started up, I've worried where History will get its programming from. 80% of History's shows are World War II-related, which is why those in the industry call it the Hitler Channel.
