All hope is lost.
I mean, it was a long time ago, but now it is so far gone it is beyond the possibility of ever coming back.
Scrolling through the listings on Comcast I saw an ad for this. Disbelieving my eyes that there could be yet ANOTHER pawn-themed show I went to the program data and read the description. Plain as day this is labeled as a game show. That's how far this channel has fallen. At least they've given up any pretense that this garbage has any association with history. This channel is just another waste of air space among the likes of The "Learning" Channel and "Animal" Planet. Truly a sad day, and yet it is only going to get worse... somehow.
