The 'History Channel', is scraping the bottom of the barrel! I am just waiting for a documentary on 'Cooper's, to confirm my thoughts.

"The Redneck Channel" ..... hahahaha!! So true!!!
I agree. A shadow of its former self. Mostly garbage now and very little history.
But just another example of the much wider (and still ongoing) dumbing-down of television that's happened over the past 15 years or so.

I have absolutely not a clue what any part of that means,
apart from stormtrooper models, and I've been to paris.
But I defend to the death, your right to say whatever it was.
My son asked me yesterday if I was gonna subscribe to planet +1 and Planet HD

If Voltaire had actually said it it would have been "..... I defend to your death your right to say it" Evelyn B Hall got it all wrong

I am deeply offended by the term "redneck" ...........oh, wait, thats the one ethnic name that can still be used.
After doing a reliable Hatfield and McCoys, was looking forward to Texas Rising which turned out to pure fantasy, so I give up trying to guess about the History Channel. Never could understand the lure about reality shows as they are all scripted anyway.
Now you have the Jenners to add to the Kardashians as all their moves you need to know about. There is no level this crew won't descend down to make a buck.

I dropped cable back in 2008. It was a very tough decision, because TV is an addiction in our society full of addictive or obsessive behavior. I had been thinking about it for about 5 years before I did it. I was tired of paying $80 a month for a bunch of channels I didn't want to watch. I thought that the cable companies should offer a la carte ordering and billing. I watch what I want, and get billed for those items. It's easily possible, without changing technology, and it's already practically here, with things like pay-per-view and digital recording. I think the only thing preventing implementing it is the contracts and licensing agreements between the entertainment companies and the cable providers--of which many are now subsidiaries of entertainment companies--and existing regulations. But if they'd ever implement it, I'd probably get cable again.
As it is, I watched things I wanted to (eg, the last season of "Monk", and the last couple seasons of "The Office") online, without having to pay anything more than my Internet access. I did the Netflix thing back then, too, when it was strictly DVDs snail-mailed back and forth, but I found I just didn't watch enough to warrant having an account. Today, with sources of streaming video, we're closer to my vision of a la carte, too, I suppose.
I put some of the money I saved myself into buying DVDs for my library, too, movies I knew I'd watch over and over.
I still get to see TV when I visit my dad, and I can sympathize with you all, there really is a lot of dreck out the air.
Prost!

Reality TV - pardon me while I call for my friend Ralph. The History Channel definitely should re-name and re-trademark itself. Maybe "Lowest Common Denominator Channel".

One problem is a mass of available channels and a limited pool of talent spread ever more thinly. We get a mix of German language TV, French language TV and UK TV via our cable network but rarely is there anything worth watching on any of them. The latest is a nude dating show which is more mindless the your average shopping channel.
I prefer to read the news and have too much to do anyway without watching talentless oafs talk about nonsense or try to be funny. My thing is to watch DVDs of films or good TV series such as the Sons of Anarchy, Sopranos etc. when I want to watch something. As for my beloved Cardiff City FC I subscribe to their channel and see every game.

In the UK I only have Free view which must have a 100+ channels of which I use no more than 10. the rest is crap shopping reality, music & rubbish. However I am lucky enough to go to the sun during the winter six months and stay in either Spain or Thailand on alternate years. Whilst away I don't watch any telly at all. BLISS, don't want it, don't miss it, and the best thing is you are not subjected to ' Did you see so and so last night' when you talk to someone.
When I get back I do have to have a double helping of Carol Kirkwood presenting the BBC Weather so I can have a drool.

Maybe they should have a reality TV show called "54mm challenge." or even "Celebrity 120mm challenge." where competitors paint a figure?
Maybe Edward could host it. He's got the youthful looks.
