Almost forget their UFO "hunters" and monster hunters, which amount to little more than a bunch of idiots running around with cameras pointed at THEMSELVES whilst saying, "Something just brushed up against my ankle! WAIT- DID YOU SEE THAT?" Couldn't see it, bud; camera was focused on you.

I'll admit, they've still got a few good programs on, like Dogfights and Modern Marvels, but what has happened to their once great selection?

What happened to all the good programs they used to have, like Mail Call and World War II in Color? What happened to the programs about the Romans, Greeks, Middle Ages, and Imperial era?

Why is it that 90% of their programming schedule contains reality shows? Reality shows aren't history; hell, over half of 'em aren't even real! And what's will all the scientific things, which should be on the Discovery Channel (which has now become almost just as bad with the reality shows)?

I don't really know if this is going to make any kind of difference, and I'm fairly certain it won't, but we've at least got to protest this junk. I don't mind the shows themselves because they're actually pretty interesting, but I watch the History Channel for history, not for anything else.

If you're also tired of it, then feel free to join in.
The original topic was the nature of History Channel programming, the abundance of reality shows and the lack of real history programs, let's yank this thread back on topic. Please.
