| What the hell does Ice Road truckers have ANYTHING TO DO WITH HISTORY?????????????????????? |

While we're at it,
HEY SYFY, Nobody wants to see a show of people stmbling around in the dark going, "What was that??!!!" that doesn't have real ghosts in it! Likewise, back to History, if you're going to have a show called Moster Quest, at least find some monsters. |

Quoted:
the only way to deal with this is find the idiots that are actually giving this shit ratings and drown them I said something similar a year or so back. (Something along the lines of hitting them in the heads with an ax and freezing them in ice.) I chose to have my cable turned off. |
| Their shows have gotten bad in the last couple of years. Ax Men??? I think that Life After People is the worst show they have. Number one its not history....its pure speculation in the Future. Number two I don't care if the eiffel tower falls down 10,000 years after humans are extinct. Who cares if monkeys break out of the zoo and run through the streets? And whats with all the shows that they have trying to discredit the bible and christianity? They are very anti christian but, I don't think I've ever seen any show try to discredit buddhism, hindu, islam, or any other religion. I'm just saying. They should just stick to Modern Marvels and WWII footage. |

Much of the older shows have been placed on this channel... http://military.history.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_History_%28TV_channel%29 Good luck finding a carrier though.  |

I hate what has become of the History and Discovery channels. No shit. It was the only reason we kept dish network as long as we did. Gangland, Ice road truckers and Monster quest SUCK! And they make up most of the programming. I can't argue with that. I've been disappointed in the History channel for some time now. And WTF is up with their show about loggers? They cut down beautiful forests in the Rockies or recently, this old dude is floating some old growth log down river?
Give us some HISTORY FOR F*CKS SAKE! |

Verizon FiOS has it. No commercials either. They just stick bits from Mail Call or other shows in where the commercial breaks are. |

Ice Road Truckers are a bunch of pussies. I've seen full size excavators parked at the edge of the ice dredging channels on Lake of the Woods near the MN/Canadian border. Digging a hole through the ice with a 60 ton excavator takes balls. Driving a truck on ice is much safer than on the interstate where you have to deal with other traffic.
It pisses me off to no end that History Channel is going the reality TV route. I usually find myself watching National Geographic now. If you've never seen it, you have to watch Shadow Soldiers. |

Quoted: bad as it is Monster Quest bothers me more. Back in 2000 I could watch the History Channel all day. I wish they would bring back Tales of the Gun and Civil War Journals. Don't watch MQ any more. They never find any monsters. They make it sound real exciting so you sit through all the BS and the crazy or drunk people telling their stories only to find out they saw a bear or a manatee, or some other normal animal. |
|
Quoted: Nowadays the best conclusion to come to is.... ....TV is crap. My opinion at least. I agree for the most part, which is why I had my cable turned off about a year & a half ago & haven't bothered to gat a converter box for regular TV yet. But there are some shows I do miss watching. |

Well I enjoy Ax Men, Madhouse and Pawn Stars It's not that those are bad shows, it's just that they have no place what-so-ever on the fucking HISTORY channel! God Damn I miss tales of the gun. 
This is true, Discovery would be better place for it, but they are separate. Tales of the Gun OWNED.......They had the best experts on there. |

Quoted: Quoted: Pawn Stars is one of my favorite shows........go Chumley You are the fucking cancer killing the History Channel. Actually I think that happened on the 20th year in a row that they showed the same old black and white WWII films. But I guess some people can watch the same shit over and over again and not get bored. |

My girlfriend and I were discussing this when I told her that the "new" American Top Gear was getting picked up by History. She mentioned her dad likes that "Pawn Stars" show. We both agreed that the History Channel is becoming little more than a hodgepodge channel that occasionally shows historical stuff and of course weapons related stuff. |

Wasn't Civil War Journals the show that was narrated by Danny Glover? That show was the best. I wonder if they ever made the series into a box set DVD? |
