What's Up With the History Channel?

[Imperialmajesty]

All I see is documentaries on 2012 and Life after People!

What happened to the good old days when it was WW2 24/7?

 

[Perfection]

All the geezers they'd interview to tell their story got gout and died.

 

[Berzerker]

they had "The Link" on tonight after the 2012 docu

ok, 47 million year old fossils may not count as history

Not really required, considering that they considered it anathema to use any documentary beyond circa 1994.

But nice attempt though

 

[Perfection]

Maybe all the geezers who watched their stories got gout and died?

 

[Rashiminos]

It would appear that those topics are en vogue with people watching the History Channel at those times.

Nah, a ton of military historians that weigh as much as a small car still eat that stuff up, and considering obesity in America, the fat military historian demographic should have increased... unless the crisco finally choked there hearts.

Now it's for the most part Nostradamus and friends + MonsterQuest.

Maybe they just got sick and tired of watching bad documentaries and just decided to read a friggin' book for a change.

... maybe History Channel collapsed under the weight of its own audience?

Didn't you hear in all of those commercials, it "changes everything."

But yeah. The history channel has gone WAY down hill. Monster Quest, ufo shows, Angels and Demons, 2012 prophecy, etc.

I did like it better when it was all about Egyptian mummies, Rome, NAZI's and WW2.

We can only hope, Perfection, we can only hope.

Seriously though, the Hitler Channel days were preferable to this 2012 crap.

... instead of a monkey we are now apparently related to Lemurs. Does that mean we should be partying more - Madagascar style?

Maybe we should rename it The Follies of History Channel!

Even a Communist phase would be welcome.

What is this 2012 thing, just the Mayan calander stuff?

I stopped watching the History Channel regularly about two years ago, and check it every once in awhile to see if they might have anything good on. To this day, I am still waiting for a good documentary on the Gothic War... though I seriously doubt that they would ever do it.

QFT.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I miss the Hitler Channel.

I used to watch Roll Call which was interesting... otherwise I haven't watched it since I was about probably 14 or so.

More or less. Though they try to tie the date to other "prophets". It's good for a laugh at first, then it simply depresses me that these people are serious.
