To put it plainly, it sucks.
Once The History Channel replaced Dogfights with Ice Road Truckers, I stopped watching.
Television in general is unwatchable.

I'd rather wathch the animation of Dogfights than the silly air naration of Showdown. I don't give a rats posterior about the guy sitting in the back of an AT6. Dogfights was a better presentation even if it was animation.

Agreed.

Although the constant re-explanation of basic flight and combat maneuvers was annoying. Honestly... I could just watch 20+ minutes of Computer animated Air Combat, without narration just Radio Chatter  :D
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

The air narration stinks but the repeating of material within the same show is worse then Battle 360 even and that got on my nerve. I understood it when they were using animations but its pretty easy to shoot more footage.

Once our vets are lost to the ages it will only get worse.

             Used to be a time I really enjoyed the H.C. most everything they had on. Here the past
        (?? couldnt even tell you), its really been poor programming for the most part. Never really
         had to pick through it before,especially while back when there was at least "Mail-Call",
         "Dogfights", "Enterprise 360" and a multitude of other war-history programs.

            Everybody has to just get on the "Reality" band wagon and I never thought H.C.
            would ever do that. Now its "Ice Road Truckers" over and over,(just in case you
            didnt get enough of it the 3rd and 4th time through!), and several others Im not
            even going to waste my time saying.  Any other fans besides myself been just
            a little disgruntled about this?...and dont get me started on "Gangland"!  :furious


I liked Deadliest Catch but HC has gone overboard with Ice Road Truckers. It was cool when it was a special episode after that all down hill.

I haven't even turned it on in 2 months. All military channel for me now.

Yeah. I agree!!!

Hardly watch anymore, too many inaccuracies,
or total BS revisionist history on now...

Those mega BS shows like, UFO hunters, Monsterquest,
Ice road truckers, Sand hogs, Axe men, are just the
outward signs of the propaganda machine at work
behind the scenes...

Then on sunday morn, they have a show that
spews liberal political garbage from Neil Gabler..
(A self avowed socialist)
And they represent it as "History"?

Are ya getting an inkling of our liberal media future???
If history doesn't support your viewpoint? Just Change it!!!

LOL, how do ya like it?

                                                   Totally agree Ripchord.

                   Anyone have the E-mail link? Couldnt find it on their site for all the garbage.

There's still some good stuff on there, but you have to pick and choose.  They DO still show the old WW2 docs, but maybe just not on at the prime hours.  Ice Road Truckers was super lame, it was one episode of material at best.  The Iditarod (sp?) Race one was pretty good for the one episode I watched, but that's probably not History Channel.  Now that I think about it, you sure Ice Road was on History and not Discovery or something else?

History International, Discovery, Military, Science... if none of them have anything good, there's usually House marathons on TNT or something like that.  House being one of the best shows on TV and in rerun.

Absolutely nothing on television has meaning anymore. Only thing decent is certaain sports. History Channel has nothing going for it,at least discovery has "How Its Made". The international media is trying to sway our beliefs in a certain direction that goes against what history has taught us. Sometime soon someone will step away from the crowd and it will be shuned for not following everyone else.

I was actually watching a dogfights episode from a while back on History International last night and say the AH commercial.  the first though that wen through my mind was, "Stupid two-weeker HC noobs."







NOTE:  Who's the voice in the commercial?

Unless you lived inside 8 Mile, why on earth would you ever be a Lions fan?

(they played a hell of a first half Sunday...)
