So why did the History Channel dump him?
Same thing happens with the Discovery Channel...build the channel on testosterone fuel and once you have a decent following, introduce estrogen. The Discovery Channel started in the ‘80s with promo films about planes. You could count on seeing a Lockheed film at 5pm every day.
That got replaced by home improvement shows. So, they made a WINGS Channel...which became the Miltary Channel. Which is now showing a food show about airline food.
I think R Lee just wanted to yake a break from thw heavy schedule of filming a weekly show.
