Subject: The History Channel: What the Hell happened?

Questions lead to learning, learning leads to kowledge, knowledge leads to understanding, understanding leads to peace.



"I would kill to get a killionaire... 10 times... digitally."

I can stand shows like Ancient Aliens and Pawn Stars. You occasionally learn something, and their's just enough amount of crazy to make it somewhat interesting. But I think I just found where I draw the line. I'm watching a show on old wars. Seems like standard fare for the History Channel. They are discussing propaganda, when they suddenly slew off in a random direction. They decide to talk about what modern propaganda should be like.

They come up with: Bella (from Twilight) riding a horse while launching beer from a t-shirt gun at Justin Biebers face as it rains French Fries.

I'm not joking Flood. Seriousy, I WISH this was a joke thread. What the HELL happened to the History Channel.

Ps. Don't even get me started about the constant dick jokes about Ben Franklin.

Inappropriate. Went a little to far with the butt hole tearing.

It's history.

Ah yes judging an entire channel based on one show/documentary/ect. great idea OP.

The sublime is disappointingly elusive.

Watching that would certainly persuade me to b*U*y a horse.

Halo: Tactical

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

I know man, I used to watch the thing all the time six or seven years ago... But now it sucks.

I am also intruiged about these Ben Franklin dick jokes.

I prefer to be the man in a mask.

It's a lot like that on the military channel. Oh wait, I mean the World War 2 channel.

Warning: You may find that my, or someone else's opinion does not comply with yours. Side effects of disagreement may include (but are not limited to): flaming, irrational behavior, broken keyboards, and/or nervous sweats. If you experience any of these symptoms refrain from communicating with others until the symptoms have subsided.

I prefer the Science Channel, but I wish they'd stop playing so much How It's Made. Do I really need to know how they make popsicles? I used to do it all the time as a young child.

All I'll say is one of them involved the busiest little general of the revolutionary war.

For those looking to vent, get proper advice, or give it to those in need.

History isn't stimulating enough. I need it commercialized and relatable to modern pop culture.

The OP clearly listed more than a single show.

OT: This reality TV -blam!- is why I no longer have cable.

OT: I lost faith in that channel a long time ago. They started showing too much religious stuff for me. I'm not saying that religion doesn't have important history, it's rather that they seemed to state controversial things as fact, and that bothered me. Even some of the stuff about aliens bothers me... not because I don't believe in the possibility of life elsewhere, but because of how it is presented.

That's actually false. Victors and losers have written historical things.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

Honestly History Channel is doing as any other channel would do if it was losing users: do what people want to see. If people stopped watching Pawn Stars et al, and wanted more history-laced programs, than it's probable that the History Channel would change its programming.

It's one of the crazier shows, I admit.

How do you kill that which is already dead?

By bringing it to life first!

I watched History when it still had MonsterQuest, Life After People, and all of those end of the world shows. When those stopped, I stopped.

Spot on right there. When I was a kid, something like 13 years ago MTV was about music and it was great to just switch to that channel and be able to listen to the current hits all day long.

  • 12.04.2012 4:40 AM PDT

History Channel is still great and I learn a lot of cool new things from Pawn Stars. The men who built America and Mankind are awesome.
