With the exception of Masterpiece Theater and Man Vs. Wild I think all of those shows suck.

Really! I think that list underscores how bad TV is today.

Conley
12-28-2011, 07:04 PM
Though to be fair, I've probably only seen about 10 out of that list. :laugh:

The ones on the History Channel aren't just bad but they simply don't belong something called the History Channel. Swamp loggers? Larry the freakin' Cable Guy? Seriously? One minute you're watching the Nazis invade Poland and the next thing you know it's Larry the Cable Guy?

Conley

Is Swamp Loggers a reality show about guys who log in a swamp? I didn't even know you could get good lumber in a swamp! I figured they would go to the forest. :grin:

That's exactly what it's about. Apparently, there is a lot of logging in LA swamps.

I have seen part of one show. I'm not knocking it on that score. Hey, whatever floats your boat. But on the History Channel?

Yeah. Well its not just HC all those channels are like that now, Bravo Arts and Entertainment The LEarning Channel you know.

The Learning Channel was great years ago. It went downhill a while back. There is nothing on TLC I watch anymore.

Conley
12-28-2011, 08:32 PM
I'm fairly certain TLC is the channel responsible for that horrible Jon and Kate Plus 8, which then spawned horrific creatures like Octomom and other tales of fertility treatments gone wrong.

About 10 years ago before we had all these other channels Discovery and TLC had most of the documentaries.

True. I enjoy documentaries, these days I normally watch them on Netflix.

The On Demand I have is pretty good. I usually put one on before bed. Last night I listened to a couple episodes of Decoded.

I am surprised they don't list all the Cops shows.....I would like to see that list. Then it will show ya all the sheep in both groups. No orignality at all. CSI ......<<<<<put the name of any major city next to it. Law and Order same thing.

D is right......on the history Channel? Swamp loggers, American pickers, AXE- Men and their war with the trees and each other. Ice Road truckers. Pawn Shop what a joke he buys History. It's tougher in Alaska. This is not history. They should have to put that shit on some reality channel.

Anything for a sponsor nowadays. Plus I hate that repeating of shit. Show the same damn movie back to back. I am glad I don't watch much TV anymore.

Kate Plus 8.....how the sheep created a celeb from a show where two people met as Contestants For dating. To be honest they needed to have stuck with the format of the dating game. Then let them choose.

I don't like any of these shows but I'm not even saying they're bad shows. It's just why would they be on History?

MMC
12-29-2011, 10:36 AM
All I know is I would like to see more History than that garbage. Plus lets see some of those Indian battles. Warring Kingdoms and Dynasty Warriors. Quit showing the same thing all the time with Rome. Our Civil War. Our Revolution.

Save that bullshit about it's tougher in Alaska too.

What Indian battles? Not the Georgio stuff! :shocked:

Pre Azteca and Pre Mayan.....Ulmecs and What was happening here in N. America and South America.
Apache Vs Cheyenne. The Modoks of California. The Iriqouis vs the Eastern Tribes. Etc etc.

:laugh: Oh OK. Scared me a for a minute there, MMC. That would be very interesting although most of those societies weren't literate so we don't really know much relatively speaking.

Yeah thats the thing most was passed on by word of mouth. Still there is a lot they can put on there with the North American Tribes. They don't always have to talk about Parker or Geronimo all the time. plus we know who the Ulmecs were warring with. Just not so much about them.

Also I go for some indepth shit on the Turks and the Russians with those Armenians. Some things about Australia and those Aborigines. Are there any you can think of? I mean there is a host that can be put up from India and Pakistan. The Kymer Rouge and Thailand etc etc

No offense, I was just curious...I used to watch it as a kid back before we had cable and there were only a few stations. Word puzzles are fun.
