Nature Host:

"Ah yes, the elusive Zombetula gora, otherwise known as the common stalking zombie, is a rather clever creature who will hide in plain-sight and wait for the typical minor character in a B-rated sci-fi or hapless cheerleader to wander across his path. The zombie will suddenly appear and eat the minor character when he is most distracted with the cheerleader's bra. Here, we see the brute in the process of devouring the brains of a divorce lawyer..."

Continuing the last post.

As you can see, he slowly consumes his prey, waiting for- *SNAP* Oh Bloody Hell! He has spotted us! Run!.....

Gasp* Thank god we got out of there in one piece, eh, Reginald?... Reginald?

*Zombified Reginald comes up behind the host and kills him, beginning to eat his brains. The camera man is soon the only one to survive in yet another anti-climactic zombie apocalypse story in which the person who survives wasn't even a necessary part of the story.

Thank you, NatGeo for this insight into the future (not).

Love how they're all for the Lowest Common Denominator theme programming, but couldn't be bothered to run ONE commemorative program on D-Day.

I was a bit dissapointed with that as well, even the military channel didnt have much.

divorce lawyers?

of course they do. they convince one spouse that they can and should rake the other spouse over the coals, because they don't get along anymore. they also convince the spouse that they'll be rich.
 the spouse doesn't realize that the rich person that the divorce lawyer is talking about is himself.  :noid

On the opposite side of that...have you ever thought it might just be a Halloween weekend type of thing?

However I typically don't watch that channel anyway.

Hm up here, NatGeo had an entire day special on outer space... "Naked Science" - lots of episodes about possible life in space etc.

Though last week's Discovery Channel special on space was MUCH more in-depth.

Did the zombie start from the head and work his way down or did he just start straight at the arse?

I've lost all faith in the only 3 channels I could consistently enjoy a few years back. The Discovery and History channels have both turned to reality shows to attract viewers, and it must be working, because the shows are taking up more and more air time, with new shows in the works. NatGeo does air probably the most tolerable mix of quality and moronic programing, though they have the reputation of their publication to maintain. Unless of course they decide to drop the magazine and start up Deadliest Swamp Pawn Restoration Logger Truck Weekly.

I think the only channels I ever watch anymore (though very rarely) are SPEED channel (3am when they're doing Le Mans and such, also Red Bull Air Racing from time to time), BBC America (Mostly for Top Gear), and a couple of music channels that I can just have on and not really watch TV (usually some sort of soft jazzy type music).

Military and History channels have all gone to the pooper Imho, especially with the loss of Mail Cail and any sort of R. Lee Ermy :cry

No.  Idea for a history show: Lumberjack pygmies driving trucks in swamps.

Not to hijack, but I can't stand them either for the series Border Wars...

Every time they catch the illegals crossing they do the obligatory interview that is basically talking points:

"All I am trying to do is make a better life for my family"

No doubt the Nat Geo camera crew have little business cards with that printed in Spanish on them that they give to the "Victims"

Nauseating

Yeah that has to be the most shocking video to ever be made, at least in my opinion.

I've had a National Geographic subscription since 1981. When I was a child I really enjoyed reading the tales of far-away lands and would dream of visiting them one day.

In the last 10-15 years I've noticed a severe decline in this type of article. Nowadays it seems that sensationalism and political opinion is the norm for this once great magazine. It's a shame.

P.S. The girls with the cup is one of those things that you can't un-see. (shivers)

I lost all faith in SyFy when they had the Ultimate Gamer show on... that is reality TV not Science Fiction.
I lost all faith in the Travel Channel when they had the Poker series, you don't have to travel to Vegas to play poker.
I lost all faith in ESPN when they had that spelling bee, watching 10 year olds spell is not sports entertainment, sorry.
I lost all faith in HBO when they showed boxing, its supposed to be movies on HBO.
I lost all faith in LOGO when they had Buffy not making out with other girls... nuff said.
I lost all faith in TLC when I saw I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant, if what you learned is that you're pregnant, I don't need to watch.
I lost all faith in USA when I saw Borat: Cultural Learnings Of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation Of Not The USA.
I lost all faith in TWC when I wanted to see my current weather and they were showing some Star Wars ripoff, When Nature Strikes Back.
I lost all faith in DirecTV's 101 when I saw it was also on channel 239.  That just doesn't make sense.
I lost all faith in the Science channel when they showed Rescued: The Chilean Mine Story, sounds like the History International Channel to me.
Speaking of History, I lost all faith in the History Channel when I tuned and it wasn't about Hitler.  Some things I had learned to accept.
I lost all faith in the Discovery Channel when they discovered crab. Alaskan King Crab. For the 99th straight year in a row.  ITS NOT A DISCOVERY ANY MORE!

But I finally found a channel I can stand.  I tuned to MTV and saw a music video.  My new favorite channel!

they still play music there? i stopped watching mtv years ago when they went from good music, and good music videos, to playing half assed shows, and in between, they rewarded killers and drug dealers by playing what they were trying to pass off as music.
