Jesus, The History Channel. First you were the Hitler Network, then you were the Pawn Stars network, now I guess you're the "cash in on whatever's popular now" network.

Remember when Bravo was the snooty channel where you watched opera telecasts?

Haven't they been doing that for a while nowt? Basing their programming around what's popular/in theaters at the moment?

Bummer, I actually like history.

They haven't rebranded the network as just "H" yet? That's going to happen eventually, right? They can't stay The History Channel forever.

If they do, I hope it's just a black "H" in Helvetica Normal. Better yet, make it lowercase. Maybe add a period after it?

h.

As dumb as this is for being on that channel, I'll probably still watch it.

I get all the History channels there is like 3 of them used to watch them constantly but you can only go over WW2 so many times

Even when The History Channel was the "Hitler Channel", at least it was actual history. These days between the pawn shows, swamp people and the endless number of specials focused on Nostradamus, the Da Vinci Code, or Armageddon it's not actual history. It's a bunch of crack pot myths and unsubstantiated conspiracy theories. The History Channel used to be among my most watched channels but those days are long gone. Even H2 (formerly History International) is dead to me.

Discovery Networks' The Military Channel is the new "Hitler Channel".

Yeah, they've been doing that for a while, but they still cover actual history despite airing actual history a tad less.

The History Channel and Discovery channel going to shit are the reason I cut my cable, fuck me.

Damn shame. History Channel was one of my favorite channels when I was a kid. At least it was actually about history.
