History Channel SUCKS

[Brock Lee]

I like watching all the different shows so I can analyze the people. You will see interesting trends. Bible scholars bear an eerie resemblance to UFO researchers.

 Maybe they should just change the name of the Channel to the "sci-fi" and pawn show.

How about that douchebag Nostradamus "scholar" who appears on all the Nostradamus related shows and dresses up like him?

I love pawn stars!  I don't know why they employ chumley, he reminds me of Blue bear from the old Boyd Cottington show or Mikey from the Tutles.

One thing I've noticed from these TV shows over the years - you can often tell what era a historian digs just by looking at them. 

Lookit the Civil War shows for example.  Some of those guys are strutting some pretty epic beards & moustaches.

most of the war stuff is now on the military channel. great shows!  and mail call will be back somewhere sometime this coming year as r lee ermy was just at my base filming an episode

almost everyone does that. Like the guy that brought in that clock. He took $500 because as the pawn guy told him, it wasnt working and didn't know how much it'd take to fix it. The pawn guy paid some guy $50 to fix it and now the clock is worth $2k. Do these people (the sellers) think much at all? If the seller had bothered to have it looked at before he took it in, he might have made an extra grand. That's what kills me about that show.

first i think RICK paid him $700.00 for the chronometer he didnt hold a gun to his head either  and  knowing what the cost of the repair was going to be was a key factor its not like that was an old wind up watch that repair costs are around $300.00 - $400.00 it was chronometer and would cost a bit more to repair , let alone trying to find somebody who does repairs on a chronometer  here is an example of a qoute given to a guy on one of the WATCH forums

Marine Chronometer Repair

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello-I have a chrononmeter that I would like to get repaired. It says on the chrono face 'VERSGLASHOTTER UHRENBET RIEBE'. I believe it is vintage WW2, gold hands and until recently ran fine. However when I last went to wind it-I felt like the key was just turning without it's customary resistance which leads me to believe that the only thing wrong is connected with the wind up mechanism (please note I know nothing about intricate watch mechanics and this is only a guess). I brought the chronometer to a watch repair facility in Fort Lauderdale where I live and was quoted a 3900 expected quote which I thought was outrageous and totally beyond reason. If anyone who reads this knows of any place in South Florida or any chrono enthusiastis that could guide me to a more reasonable repair person I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks! Chris

History Channel really has started to suck.  I think it's a marketing thing.  They moved alot of the good content up  the dial to the Militay Channel and History International Channel.  Sign up for the more expensive package and get the good stuff again.

So for me it's pretty much watered down History Channel and the Boob Whisperer. 

[ACUDANUT]

 SUCKS even more...Life after people ? who care, WE won't be around anyway...Monster quest ? yea, they are everywhere...UFO's ?? I am pulling the plug.

[Khyron]

to be honest I loved the 2 hour "Life after people" but I agree the series sux.

Monsters / ufo's all that crap should be on scifi channel.

"Boob Whisperer"  LOL




History channel seems to be doing the MTV-style bait & switch.  
They'll keep moving the most popular content to another channel until everyone is buying several channels from them.
