So ... it occurs to me, as I'm watching the History Channel, that it doesn't actually seem to have anything to do with History anymore.
Sort of like MTV - "Music Television" - and VH1 - "Video Hits 1" no longer seem to have anything to do with music or music videos.
Every time I switch over to History Channel, it's showing Ax Men or Ice Road Truckers or (usually) Modern Marvels. Not really much in the way of History if you ask me.
Back in the day, I loved to watch History channel; I learned more about the Romans, WWI, WWII, the Civil War, and even Vietnam than I ever learned in school. I loved to watch Automobiles. I dug finding out more about places like Petra, Venice, Moscow, Germany and America.
What happened? When did the History Channel decide that it wanted to be the Discovery Channel?
Next thing you know, they'll be showing wrestling on the Sci-Fi channel. Oh, wait...
Your pal,
Meat.
