Back on topic, my favorite all-time WW2 doc TV show was The Color of War, where they only showed footage shot in color.  Focused a lot more on the troops than on the battles.  They need to re-run that.

I use to watch that miss it now.  :(

That's a real shame, because Sig and the gang on DC are great. Frankly there's little to no originality on TV anymore. Oh, and while I'm venting... What idiot decided that anything shot with night vision gear is automatically "scary?"

Typical scene from "Ghost Hunters" (predictably moronic green tint  :rolleyes:)
"Here we are on the condiment isle of Tom Thumb after-hours in search of paranormal activity... OMG!! what was that?"  (camera shakes, grown man screams)

Puleeze :rolleyes:


 I think Sig should change his names spelling to Cig. As much as he smokes I think his chances of dying from smoking is higher than dying from the Baltic Sea.  :D

I agree, but I don't think he's gonna find nearly as many crab in the Baltic Sea.

Ice-Road Truckers... no... I did like Axe Men though.

Most of the shows we are talking about are one-hit wonders, if that. Deadliest Catch is a good show though, actual danger.

I WOULD like to see the old show 'Tales of the Gun' that was an awesome show. Showed a certain military weapon, and then fired it, even had an experimental rocket pistol that this guy shot... :O

I miss that and Dog Fights...  :(

Dogfights got a little stale since it was only from the perspective of the American side. Would have been a better series if they included dogfights from the British, Japanese and German perspective.
