The History channel cancelled it because it was about history. It had nothing to do with cutting down trees,selling stuff at a pawn shop, or picking thru someones barn.   :rolleyes:

The good guy is here
The bad guy is there
If the good guy goes over there
    the bad guy will go there
but the good guy knows he need to go here
so he goes there
the bad guy now ends up over there

repeat the above and add two more sentences before next comersial
the good guy knows that if the bad guy shoots him it will be bad
the bad guy does not want to get shot by the good guy

Gunther Rall was alive while the show aired.  Let's face it, Dogfights' almost exclusive focus on American pilots reflected a belief that the audience was narrow minded and stupid.  I'm glad it was canceled.

Or maybe Rall wasn't satisfied with the show/channel's offer?

Don't forget that most fights where hit and runs in real life.  Especially for the Germans late in the war trying to take down buffs.  They were not there for the fight you know  :lol.  There isn't a lot to tell in most cases.  It would be very hard to find an actual dog fight with a pilot that is now alive to give the interview.

Sure, but they also did a few episodes about WW1 dogfights, and no one was alive from that era.  IIRC, one was about the death of Werner Voss (bad guy loses), and the other about Guynemer and Udet (bad guy could have lost).

You forgot "ancient prophecy" and "future global disaster"
I liked life after people. 1 week after people, the Queen of England, dogs/pissy beds are still alive. :rolleyes:
