Rewrite history, or ignore it. Who won the war ultimately?

While I do think American Pickers is one of the few reality shows on the history channel that actually has a great deal to do with history, I also agree that it's odd to have them playing on D-Day...

Didn't they just put out a new documentary on Gettysburg just recently?

Haven't seen it yet, but the previews looked interesting...

I pitched "Hot...Dog...Vendors" to history/discovery about bikini clad girls vending hot dogs but have not heard back as of yet.

What I got from this is...
"I can't pay respect so I am going to whine that someone else needs to do it for me  :cry"

I am sure there is something in the line up for today involving D-Day, but they are not going to dedicate an entire day to it.

Nope...  American Pickers until 7pm CST, then an hour of Pawn Stars, then more American Pickers...  It is pretty much the normal History Channel Monday night lineup.  Nothing about DDay in their schedule at all today according to my digital cable guide.

Yesterday they had a special on D-day, it was done very well. "Surviving D-day" is what I think it was called. :salute

That was on the Discovery Channel, not History Channel.

The History Channel has to get money from somewhere, and if that's reality TV, then ugh, so be it.

The so called history channel is too busy making money from folks who have no interest in history to worry about history.


They have lowered the IQ requirement for viewing to get more viewers.

Just as the SciFi channel has also.  SciFi went from having some unique, well written shows, to carrying Wrestling and an annoying food show.  I used to watch SciFi channel programming at least a couple nights per week.  Now I watch nothing on SciFi.  Will watch Eureka when its new season starts though.

The USA network is the only one I can think of that is running some shows worth watching, like Burn Notice, White Collar, and In Plain Sight.
