Kick these reality shows off the History Channel and bring back History!


It's tragic that these pathetic shows dominate the History Channel, for the simple fact that they're so cheap to make, thus ensuring profits, while alienating the original demographics which used to watch the History Channel for actual HISTORY.
These sad excuses for programs appeal to the lowest common denominator, the type of person who would never be caught dead watching an historical documentary.
These damn people have taken over our channel!
Damn, I hate reality shows.....

.... I completely agree !!!!! I've been saying the same thing since the "History-hating" POS CEO Nancy Dubuc, took over the channel she still has the nerve to call HISTORY in 2007... and started my once favorite channel into the cesspool of cheaply produced, brain dead, garbage programming....

..... I haven't watched the channel my tuner was once glued to since she took over and turned the channel into the disgrace to the word "History" that she has made it....

Now step aside for the lowest denominators to spit out their hate and rhetoric against people that call the channel the POS it is....

Still far better when it was known as the Hitler Channel for showing mostly old WW2 footage.

HOLY BUMP BATMAN !!! Same old tunes sung by the people who never watched it, have no interest in "History", and called it the "Hitler Channel"... in other words the current target audience of the "History-hating" POS channel....

Once again... when the channel was showing "mostly old WWII footage", they were doing what they were created by A&E to do, and providing the kind of programming that people who have an interest in "History", and the type of programming they expect to see when they tune to a channel called HISTORY...

"Far Better".... no way... just the same old cheaply produced garbage you can find clogging the cesspool known as Cable TV....

What do you think of this History Channel commercial? To watch it, just click on http://vimeo.com/8200290

I can't view it on this POS laptop of mine... but I imagine it's a real gem..

Haha. I bet you would love it if you could see it. One of the things that Rick Harrison said in the commercial: "What I love about working here is working with my family. What I hate about working here is working with my family."

Maybe one of the drivers will fall into the lake and be history.

If that happened, IRT would advertise it for a year before the season started, tease us with bits and pieces for the entire season, then do the reveal on the final episode where we discover he didn't actually die.

Total letdown.

I miss the shows about WW2 & Vietnam. Also the documentaries about the military.

if you don't like it, you can always changed the channel.

and yes, it really is both that simple and that valid.

Attention Board... kaSHILLa is back.. she's been gone for over a year... you will find her only on threads that are negative of the show, and never on threads where "Fans" are engaged in a positive discussion of a show... best to put her on Ignore now to prevent any further interruptions....

i guess you finally learned how to use that remote!
