Why are there car shows on the History Channel? I am not sure whether the twins' auto rebuilds are more annoying that "In Search Of," but they're equally inapproprioate. I just don't see the history nexus.

I have no clue but the car they are showing is not worthy of the airtime they are using

Programming was too intelligent so they had to jazz it up so retards could have fun too.

Kinda like what they did with TLC a few years back with the home improvement / swapping homes crap.

I hear the Military Channel is next and Vanilla Ice is gonna have a reality show called "Who Wants To Be A Navy SEAL?" Follow the antics of a washed up has been white rapper as he subjects 10 celebrity "has beens" to BUDS.

Automaniacs with Goldberg is another show I despise being on the History Channel. I just don't get it

I'm betting the bit ont eh idea of getting in on the 'Reality' show craze, with the 'history' twist being about 'classic' cars.

Just as annoying as the tornado &  ocean storm shows on the History channel. Isn't that  what the Weather channel is for?

I used to watch Discovery Wings all the time but now I don't even remember what the channel number is.  It seemed every time I turned to that channel they were running "The Tuskegee Airmen "  or the first woman to do this or the first black to do that.

h/w, i did see him talking about armored ganster cars and as he was holding a tompson, his finger was off the trigger--till he shot

at least he seems to have a little gun safety

but the cars he mentioned sucked

Why are there car shows on the History Channel?

I would guess because much of the 20th century ties into the development of the automobile.  
Just a quick list:
Manufacturing: assembly lines, factories, sourcing of parts
Commerce:  equipment used to haul goods everywhere, costs related to transportation
Technology:  Electronics, internal combustion, Radios/CD Players/DVD, crash test dummies
War/Military: Jeep, Humvee, Redball Express, Tanks, APC, Airplanes to an extent
Safety: Air Bags, seatbelts
Travel: across country, day trips
Employment: commute to work, truck drivers
Leisure: NASCAR, Racing, etc
