The History Channel now pretty much sucks. I mean whats with all these shows about prehistoric monsters and people crashing dirtbikes and stuff? The Military Channel seems to be mostly WW2 related so it gets boring pretty quickly.
My timeline of the History Channel:
Appx. late 1990s/2000ish: a nice blend of military and other history combined with great movies on Friday and Saturday nights.
Appx. 2004: WW2, Civil War, WW2, Civil War, WW2, Civil War. Only show of any interest is Mail Call.
2007/2008: science fiction, truckers, ice fishing, History of Hot Dogs, monsters, etc with the occasional WW2 show from 20 years ago being re-aired is the order of the day. Mail Call is nowhere to be found.
What went wrong here and why? What made them go from a pretty decent lineup that could attract me all day to one where I pretty much want to bash my head against the wall?
