The History Channel....finally History
The History Channel is finally showing something that is REAL History. The Revolution and the forming of the United States. The making of the Constitution and all the stuff we were built on.

I can't believe they have something worth watching. Not about guns and war.

1. they're not all guns and war
there's been some interesting programming these past few months ... really enjoyed watching it. I wonder if they hired a new program director.

2. "The Universe" on History is certainly worth watching over and over again.
I can't get enough.

3. I stopped watching The History Channel in recent years...
...along with The Biography Channel.

Too much fiction. If they stop making historical and biographical documentaries out of bible stories, I may start watching again. But probably not.

7. Doesn't that make you crazy?
The Biography Channel seems to be limited to celebrities. There are THOUSANDS of exceedingly interesting people throughout history and what do they do? Biography of Jennifer Lopez. :puke: What a waste.

Btw, welcome to DU. :hi:

8. Funny. It seems to me that the closer we come to fascism
the less programming about WW2 we see.

Just a coincidence, I'm sure.

10. "The Revolution and the...""Not about guns and war"
:rofl:

Of course, our nation was NOT born out of a very long and protracted war involving the use of many guns
