Over the years, whenever I was sick of American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, or Saved by the Bell, I could always turn to channel 65 and know that I'd find something interesting.
But now, in a weird move to catch up to Fox, the History Channel has started producing shows that are neither Historical not Entertaining.....here's a list of them:
- Axemen - really? somehow a show about contemporary lumberjacks is historical? I mean, I understand that they serve a valuable role in our society, but I still don't see why its on the History Channel. Move it over to Discovery, and I might give it a shot. what really irks me is the tagline "An American Original Series"....so does that mean that all Americans took part in the creation of this?
- Ice Road Truckers - see above...same shit, different location. did the History Channel hire somebody from Fox to come up with this crap?
- Gangland - This one is a bit hazy...I'm still not sure how I feel about this show yet. While I actually like the show, I still don't see why its on the History Channel. This is another show that's ripe for the Discovery Network.
- UFO / Monster Hunters - wtf? that's I can say.
As I'm stuck in my hotel in Tampa, I'm stuck watching either reality tv (regular broadcast channels), sports (nothing good until football season), Bill Mayer reruns on HBO, the election cycle (gag), or...the History Channel. I'm hoping that they get back to their roots!
