When my dad first got satellite (early Direct TV late 90's) one of the main channels we had on was History Channel (the other being TV LAND). But from what I remember being a 10/11 year old it was literally History 24/7. During the week had Tales of the Gun, Modern Marvels, Automobiles etc. On the weekends i remember watching war movies on the History Channel (similair to the Military Channel's Officer and a Movie) and during breaks them (a panel ) discussing If its factual etc. Also during the weekend (Sunday Morning) watching Black Sheep Squadron. Just because this channel was so interesting it was on a good portion of the time (except when Dragent, Adam-12, and Batman was on TV LAND). I was taught alot from this channel many of the times taught more what was taught in school.

But today, the History Channel is on less and less and less. Most of the time its on for a couple shows aweek. Now I know we are in changing times, and companies need to always change to attract more but I really believe they have strayed very far off course. Most of the shows such as, Pawn Stars, American Pickers, American Restoriation, Only in America, Top Gear, are decent shows but watching too much all blends together. These shows tell random history for random items. Other shows such as Swamp People, Axe Men, IRT, Full Metal Jousting, doesn't teach anything it shows nothing relavent.

But in all reality to me the History Channel seems to be another Discovery Channel just with the random (lack of a better term) crap. SO I ask you all, do you'll agree ? IS there shows you would love to see back on the air. Hell just relaunching Tales of the Gun would be awesome. There has been many advance in just that alone they could at least do a short stint. I did like Apocolypse Man which sadly only one epsiode.

Thanks for Reading

Agreed as well. Hell Look at TV LAND it use to have very old programing now its crap like rosanne the nanny crap from the 80 and 90s that wasnt good then lol

the only thing i can say that i liked the History Channel doing was the 9/11 programming the whole day being one important day in American History but since then its litterally the same three shows on repating on to itself

"No". Its a prediction of its future... History.

MTV did the same shit and it destroyed them.

They need to get their act together, maybe a few more original shows, keep the crazy haired "aliens' guy toned down, and discuss 'history'.

Try a series of shows on the Constitution, the Founders, and the intent of the Framers for this "Social Experiment".
How about a series juxtaposing the Actual Law with the crap that they govern us with now? iow: prove the legality of the IRS, BATFE, gun bans, NFA....
A series on the shit we do everyday that would make Washington, Jefferson and the rest want to start a revolution against 'this' govt?

Glen Beck can narrate, I want 2% off the top. Gold, silver, Ammo, and Land accepted as form of payment. Bitches considered on a case by case biases. (how do I copyright that?)

If they did that, I would be amazed. Doubt it though. It seems they would rather be like everyone else. But yes MTV yeah thats a topic on its own.

But how would I find out about Ice Road truckers?

On another A&E Channel

Has anyone watched the Weather channel lately?

Now it's anything but weather. I don't give a shit most of the time, but earlier this year we were under a tornado warning, flipped to the weather channel, and it's coast guard Alaska. WTFO ???

Sine then I've noticed they do very little weather any more. Except for sensationalizing the hurricane that was going to shut down the GOP convention.

They broadcast what people want to watch. Believe it or not they really do track this. And frankly, most of their "military" shows were crap. Same footage shown over and over again, frequent errors in the narration.

History Channel...television at 8th grade level.

Im so tired of Scripted "Reality TV"......Yes, this is what the "History" channel is anymore....

Gotta agree with you completely, clown bear.
The History Channel is a caricature of its former self. It's almost not even on my "surfing list" anymore. The crappy reality programming that has replaced genuine history shows is totally infuriating; especially garbage like "Ice Road Truckers", "Axe Men", "Swamp People", etc.
Fortunately, there's H2. But unfortunately, that's mostly reruns of original history channel material.
A lot of History Channel programming originated on A&E. So, I would hazard a guess that there should be continuing "feed stock" for H2.

Even before the change, it was history for the lowest common denominator. Now it's downgraded into mainstream garbage for the lowest common denominator.

TV just plain sucks. find something else to spend ur time on.
