Discovery Channel

This channel has gone from decent to pure sh ite in the last 4 or 5 years, series after series of pure staged reality crap, such as those crappy storage programs and gold mining series full of paid actors.

A new series has just started tonight Railroad Alaska same as all the other crappy series with some idiot voice over claiming everything is life or death.



Phew glad I got that out

used to be my favorite channel, even when every week was shark week

the history channel is just as bad

All of the "documentary" channels have gone to the dogs. PBS I think is the exception. Ice Road Truckers, Railroad Alaska, Naked and afraid, it's all rubbish.

I have to agree. most of it rubbish

I do like the gold programs though. I like the process but you have to look past all the crap

all the storage programs are all staged, nobody would leave that stuff in there. there cant be that many people dying and the locker being forgotten about . surly there should be some law naming the next of kin or who to contact if they failed to contact you

I watched some of railroad Alaska. its total crap. all staged and blown up . they claim the train is hurtling towards them and they have to jump out of the way if the rocks arnt cleared

I do like the factual documentaries on aliens. The X Files is also a good re enactment show for the H2 channel.

iano.p

I am the same myself. I only look at the gold ones (years ago I worked in a mine on a year out so like looking at it now) but all the other shows are cat. I seen the mermaid one they done a few years ago and haven't looked back at any other shows since then.

Some of the stuff on CI does be decent too.

The History Channel shouldn't be called the History Channel anymore! There is no history on it! H2 isn't too bad for documentaries. But they have all seriously gone to the dogs the last few years. Just like MTV doesn't have music anymore either. I hate so called "reality tv". Most of it is staged anyway! I miss the actual history programs. You get more out of the half an hour of Reeling in the Years nowadays.
