The Bible miniseries on the History Channel

No, but I bet for every hour it's on there will be only twenty minutes of content, twenty minutes of recap and coming up next, and twenty minutes of comercials for Rosetta Stone and Christian Mingle.

History also has a mini-series about the Vikings coming out.

Bet the adds will be Volvo and Ikea.

Least it's not another show about swamp people or gator hunting..

AMAN to that!!

The trouble with Hollywoods "Tales of the Bible" is that they never seem to get the details right.

If your going to make a film about the Bible then maybe you should read the Bible.

That's generally been my experience with the History Channel, Military Channel, Discovery Channel, National Geographic Channel, etc; 20 minutes of actual content for every 60 minutes of programing. This is why I continue to support PBS.

History channel has jumped the shark, along with TLC (WHICH USED TO ROCK) Now it has honey boo boo, instead of shows showing operations, or even remotely teaching you something. no more learning on the learning channel, just dumbing.

Now the History channel shows crap like Pawn stars and American pickers, which showcase American greed. Mind you, owned by the same company that ruined Discovery, and TLC.

Yeah sure (sarcastic) I am expecting "sooooo" much from this.

Not on topic, but as there's discussion of different stuff related to documentaries,
I'll leave you with this channel:

Some nice docs there, really liked the "Failure is not an option" one.
