.... on this date, 76 years ago, WWII started in Europe, with the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany..... mmmmm that's a pretty important date, let's see how the channel, that still has the nerve to call itself HISTORY, marks this date ?

WHAT !!!!!!! An all day crapathon of COUNTING CARS ??????? Oh well, maybe one of the cars will be from the 1940's.... this useless piece of garbage channel really needs to change it's name, as it is it's a disgrace to the word "History", and an insult to all those with an interest in "History".

Words can not express how much I detest the steaming cesspool of garbage, Nancy Dubuc has turned my once favorite channel into.... ALA CARTE CABLE SERVICE... PLEASSSSSSE !!!!!!!!!

If you deflect the topic of the thread from the show to me, our discussion is over 

Were any of the cars from the 40s?

Why do you rely on TV to get your history? Read a book, you'll learn a whole lot more doing that than watching a black-and-white documentary on Hitler.

There's been numerous threads on the message boards discussing the fact that certain cable channels (or nearly all of them) have made programming decisions for the ratings. Never mind what their programming goal/themes were when they started- with a very specific example, I think that's what the OP was getting at.

Why do they give out letter jackets to marching band? It's not a sport! We all know it!

It's true a book is a better source for history, but I think the point was why history channel shows non history programming so much and I couldn't agree more. When history channel shows history programming I think it's a fantastic channel but like all cable channels that start out specific to certain material and then sway away from that material, they quickly go downhill and I think that was the point of the original post.

I get the point but it is what it is. Whoever owns it can put on any programming they want and you can choose not to watch it. OP sounds like a whining baby who can't get what he wants.

Like I said, read a book instead of asking to be spoonfed by TV.

Sometimes making your point why you're unhappy with a product (cable network or anything else) is productive. Nobody is stating History channel CAN'T show whatever programming it wants, but consumers don't have to like it. Of course it is what it is, and what this is is a message board about TV networks that's being used to voice why we're not always watching the channel. I didn't take it as wining, I took it as an expression of an opinion.

Yeah, History fúcking blows now.

I don't even *check* what's on that shïtty station anymore. Just *another* channel that went from great to absolute shït.

Hell, *all* the former "educational channels are like that now. They all cater to the retards who love "redneck reality" crap. It pisses me off some much.

And when History actually *does* play anything "Historical", they just *have* to present it in such a stupid way. It's almost like it's a *Luxury* now, to show anything *remotely* interesting, educational and/or historical.

Such bullshït.
