Years ago some nicknamed it the Hitler Channel because of the WW II documentaries, etc.—and yes on occasion they will run
“Third Reich: The Rise” and “T.R.—The Fall”. But yes they do run stuff like Pawn Stars now. I was at a Chinese restaurant the other day, in bar section (you can eat your meal in bar) and some guy was glued to “Pawn Stars” on History.
I did like their recent How The States Got their Shapes,
though; a lighthearted look at history and geography.
And speaking of mis-named, no-longer-relevantly-named things,
Boston’s House of Blues nightclub is in the news because of mosh pit antics at punk shows. The nightclub chain, started by Isaac Tigrett of Hard Rock Cafe and “Blues Brother”
Dan Aykroyd, these days has anything BUT blues music. It’s
extremely rare that they present an artist in the tradition
of Waters, Hooker, B.B. King, or Koko Taylor. House of anything but.
