Michael Vick + the schedule


I have a theory as to why I (and no one else, it seems) can't find this most excellent show.
It's because of Michael Vick & his dog fighting conviction. Yes, there is a big difference between the two terms. Yet, I'm willing to bet that the folks at The History Channel are so afraid of offending people (people too stupid to realize the difference between the two terms) that they're not airing it at present.

Dunno guys... It's on in Japan... And has been pretty much since the whole cluster#### began... That's what's great about a non-english speaking country...

That could be a partial reason why it hasn't been on but after seeing the new in 2008 promo with no mention of Dogfights I did some looking around. Straight from the mouth of Nancy Dubuc (the person responsible for the current dumbing down of THC programming)

It appears she is leaning to bring in an MTV3 kind of crowd. :(

The only new show that seems to have any merit is Battle 360. From the few clips that are in the promo it appears to be in the Dogfights vein, probably covered in Dubuc slime though I'm sure.

You're right, Ms. Dubic is going to ruin THC just like they ruined The Learning Channel and The Discovery Channel, who the hell put her in charge in the first place?

It's too bad because there are fewer and fewer intellegent places to go on TV, the History Channel was one of the last really good ones.

I weep for the future

The saddest part about the movie Idiocracy is it's a total reflection of what's going on now and what WILL happen because of people like Dubic. Hell I just saw the other day that Coke is now labeling their products as 95% as effective as water at hydrating. :(
