Why I'm hacked off at the History Channel.

[Warpy]

29. Cable channels as a whole went WAY downhill

as the dirt cheap "reality TV" stuff took over for the documentaries, films, and original program that launched the channels. It all became hillbillies pretending to be stupider than they were, guys who bought abandoned storage locker contents at auction, idiotic phony competitions. Most of this was a likely function of channels being bought out by media groups who cheapened the fare and raked in the subscription fees, aint it always the case!.

Even the Science Channel went to hell, bible crap started to creep into their programming which, if not top notch and cutting edge, had at least been interesting.

There's a reason my cable hookup has gone unhooked and the TV has been off for 2 years.

Or maybe I'm just too old to appreciate how wonderful shows about (people pretending to be) toothless inbreds really are.
