I used to love History Channel when it first came on.
It was fascinating stuff. I guess the ratings weren’t good enough for the advertisers with shows on the Ancient Egyptians.
So they switched to as another FReeper accurately described as the Hitler Channel. I enjoyed WW2 documentaries too. Nobody else did apparently.
They figured out that the real ratings come from appealing to the lowest common denominator. Aliens and ghosts.
Ka-Ching!!!
