The Decline and fall of...........the History Channel

What the hell happenned? Why has this channel now become the 'redneck' channel? Who the hell finds that sh!t interesting? Landing planes on icy tarmacs? Cutting down trees? c'mon

Alaska: Dangerous Territory

American Pickers

Ax Men

Big Shrimpin'

Ice Road Truckers

Ice Pilots

the list goes on and on.......not to mention all the Nostradamus crap that got old after a couple months? Do they even show actual history anymore??

BossPerson

at least those others are "reality" type shows as opposed to a bunch of superstitious hogwash.

discover, history and science channels have all turned into nothing but a constant stream of bullcrap that caters to the lowest common denominator idiots.

It's not like their education information was all that accurate anyway.

Animal Planet and Discovery Channel is where it's at boys

You forgot Pawn Stars, which is awesome.

You could.... stop watching it? Ratings determine what goes and what stays on TV. Protest your view by not watching the History Channel.

Channel 55 is The History Channel. Channel 127 is History Channel International. Channel 127 is still okay.

What cable company are you with? As it is, I don't have cable, but DirecTV. History Channel is channel 269 and H2 (formerly the History Channel International) is 271.

What the hell happened?

At least the National Geographic channel hasn't completely lost its way.

Yeah, reality shows, those CSI themed shows, and sitcoms have really taken over TV. Hence why the only reason I flip through the channels is to watch Hockey or American Football. Maybe Adult Swim it I'm up late at night.

I like ice road truckers, not so much when they're in alaska or northern canada but the deadliest roads edition is pretty decent... makes me want to go to the andes and try the death road for myself tbh. Won't watch any of those other shows though. But in all honesty, what else are they going to show us? Who wants to watch black and white grainy footage of WW2? Sure they could show whats going on in the middle east, but seeing as that crap isn't over yet... it doesn't seem right, and to go into depth about what the americans have done and how they did stuff, could put soldiers at risk.DJ-PRIME90

I hate The two guys that search for junk,

AND I hate the guys that run a store that gives you s hit for your antiques

"Oh I have these candy dispenser that was used to carry candies in the 30s, they look just new they're valued 1000 each, I have 20 how much I can get for them"

I'll give you 150 bucks,

WTF?I have 20

Hey I gotta make some profit

"They're valued 1000 each"

Ok let me get my candy dispenser expert and let's see what he thinks

WTF is that? What happened to the old doccumentaries about battles, about history about historical figures, History used to be one of my fav channels when I was a kid. Now looks like an American reality show channel

Let me call in a buddy of mine, he's an expert in trolling, he'll let me know if you're a real troll or not. =PAllicrombie

Not gonna lie, I laughed

:lol:

There was an excellent documentary about Lee and Grant last summer, right around the anniversary of Gettysburg.

Other than that, I only watch History for Top Shot. It's the only reality show that seems like a real competition and not a popularity/backstabbing contest, and the history behind some of the older firearms is quite informative.

The f***ing aliens can keep decoding history the rest of the time for all I care.

Isn't all this stuff on the discovery channel and nat geo rather than History channel?

The History Channel is following in the footsteps of The Learning Channel (TLC) which used to be a decent channel but now it's a straight freakshow and getting weirder with every new show.

You forgot Pawn Stars, which is awesome.

same ---- happened to TLC which used to stand for "the learning channel" there used to be cool science shows on and stuff.. now it's just the freak-show reality tv channel.

edit: hiphopbeats beat me to it.

I kinda miss how when I was a kid the History Channel was a history channel. :(

i remember having the History Channel on my tv 24/7. after they switched their name to History the downward spiral was just terrible to witness.

Almost every item they show on Pawn Stars is accompanied by a mini history lesson.

I cant watch it anymore. It's all reality shows, shows about aliens, or as you said, shows about Nostradamus.

You like MonsterQuest and you know it. RAWR.
