    Well the name is a complete sham now.

    It was better when they had real history stuff on it.

    I prefer the Bio channel much more interesting
    History channel keeps repeating Hitlers bodyguard plus numerous others that we have already seen:mad:

    Though I like those cheesy shows I agree there's hardly any history left, apart from soviet storm on the military history channel, I'm quite a fan of that one.

    Discovery is going the same way. Once upon a time the documentary type channels were great to watch. I can't be bothered with them these days.

    The History Channel has gone the way of M(usic)TV, nothing to do with the name of the channel.

    The History Channel has gone the way of society in general, where everything is LCD stuff like Jersey Shore, Big Brother, etc. Its making an already large number of thick people even more thick.
    FYP.

    It was good once but full of trash now

    They produce the odd good show

    I recommend the mini-series Hatfield and McCoys, based on a true story
    Great production, Kevin Costner is in it

    Seems to be Room Temperature IQ TV. Discovery History seems to have much more historical stuff.
