It seems like every time I turn it on, I see something about aliens, shooting targets, or Larry the Cable Guy. What the hell happened to actually covering history? WWII in HD, Amerca: The Story of Us, all of those shows are what I think of when I think of the History Channel.
Not this guy.

Because reality TV and conspiracy theories are what brings in the ratings. Ratings=$$$ and history channel likes $$$

When they made their slogan History Made Everyday, they really changed up their programming to shite.

History channel sucks, but H2 is the real deal. They actually show history programs 90% of the time.

Because reality TV is the least expensive thing to produce.
All it takes is a camera, a small crew and one or more idiots that what to be semi-celebrities.
No research, little work & no talent.

Least expensive or not it wouldn't be on there if people didn't watch it

If we don't learn from History Channel, we're doomed to repeat History Channel.
