The History Channel has ceased offering programming consistent with its name and has become the We’re All Gonna Die Channel. They’ve quietly phased out the good shows, like Tales of the Gun and Wild West Tech, and replaced them with crap like “Top 10 Ways The Earth Could Die” or whatever it was called, Nostradamus specials (yes, more than one!), “Bible Code” specials (yes, more than one!), and have pushed global warming as truth in almost every show they air.
It’s utterly ridiculous. It’s getting to the point where I can’t watch History Channel or even Science Channel any longer. Lately I’ve been watching HD Theater. Lots of shows on cars and motorcycles. I’ll take it.
On our cable system, the original “history” programs were moved to another history channel. Also military history was moved to the military channel. It must be a viewing demographics thing.
As I recall, when the history channel was first aired, almost every show was about Hitler. I called it the Hitler channel.
I am giving in to my true passion now and watch the golf channel obsessively. I hope Obamachev doesn’t have a grievance against golf to avenge.
