If you believe the crap on the History Channel extraterrestrials will

intervene and stop a nuclear war, so relax.

1. I wish they'd get on with it, then.

2. Tonight! On the History Channel! Did Confederate ghosts influence Hitler?

My brother’s joke about the History Channel back in the 90’s.

3. I used to watch the History Channel a lot when they had history. Now it is all, Pawn Stars,

Pickers, Sword Making, Ancient Aliens and digging on Oak Island for what 5 years coming up with a piece of wood.
It's staged bullshit.

[Aristus]

4. You used to have to tear me away from the History Channel.

Haven't watched it in years. It's nothing but crap.

11. Discovery used to be the same way for me

Great documentaries but ow it seems like it’s gold and moonshine now.

5. Hey I like The Curse of Oak Island . . . .

and Ancient Aliens crack me up ...

[doc03]

10. They have aliens under the sea, under Antarctica, in a mountain in Italy, bases on the moon,

bases on Mars they are everywhere. Big foot may even be an alien. It is ridiculous.

8. Staged bullshit

you hit the nail on the head.
A!though I will say, Vikings was probably one of the best series ever made. In my opinion at least.
In their defense, there's only so much new history for them to cover on a 24/7 basis.

9. Oak Island. I've been fascinated by that story so I watched it

The brothers had a fixed set budget. Yes they had a scuba diver looking around in a mud puddle and that should have told me something. I thought maybe 6-10 shows but it could be interesting.

The show became the thing itself. It makes money and the brothers make (I could guess) money per episode so there’s no reason to end it.

Oak Island is a fascinating story.

6. History Channel used to rock

Now it's shit

[calguy]

12. Kinda like Food Network

I used to watch it all the time. Since that dude named Guy got on, it's turned bsd. Haven't watched it in years.

[Coventina]

7. I will never forgive the History Channel for "Knightfall"

That show had so much potential, and then went so far off the rails!!!!!!!

Way to squander oodles of talent and money on poor writing, plotting, and shit-canning actual history!

13. Programming decay killed the various educational channels.
