I remember when the History Channel was a respectable network...

I don't give a fuck, I like watching some of the shit tv these days. Hoarders is like the greatest show ever made. I love how all the old women hoard cats and they end up pulling out a pet cemetery. I'm surprise more neighbors don't torch those fucking houses. We need involuntary commitment for these people. I also love all those fake shows where they have reenactments. I'll watch any fucking show with an reenactment. "I Married a Mobster", "Who did I Marry?". Even the missing people shows. great shit.

Now we have Big Rig Bounty Hunters to inform the viewers about the history of truck bounty hunting......

I remember when Disney was a respectable family studio that made movies with valiant themes. What the fuck happened there?

the former courttv which changed to trutv (the first sign of doom) used to have court footage and commentary of interesting cases going on in the country and, occasionally, the world. they also used to have those crime shows that tell the story of a murder and how they caught the murderer.

just this past week it changed format to 2 hours of court and 22 hours of horrible reality bullshit shows and late night infomercials.

I think this thread now qualifies for a series on the History Channel seeing as it will be a month between replies

What I don't get is all these Bigfoot shows where a bunch of rednecks run around the woods to not find Bigfoot each week.

AND its on Animal Planet which used a damn good channel for nature docs and programs. Everything is getting dumb downed to appeal to the largest possible audience. If you want intelligent programming you have to buy premium packages from the cable company.

Just like KFC no longer stands for Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Ironically, Tru TV's programs are the most phony shows on television.

Bigfoots are technically animals aren't they.

The thing is the show is called "Finding Bigfoot". To my knowledge, they have yet to find on Bigfoot.

This week, American Experience aired a documentary called "Silicon Valley."

It's about these 8 guys who started a company that's basically the grandfather of all companies.

The leader of the 8 guys went on to found Intel.

It's another awesome doc.

Enjoy!

Thanks for posting this.
American Experience is a great series. Along with American Masters also on PBS.

I used to love the history channel 24/7 all Hitler all the time channel. When I would have bouts of insomnia it was guaranteed to put me to sleep. It's evolved. no red meat.

i love watching ancient aliens. I've been perfecting my affected accent (not the greek guy, but the kinda fat american one) so I can drop into it during business meetings when i think the current approved process is horseshit but i don't want to say "horseshit".

"What we have here, would have to be done by developers with advanced, possibly hand-held laser programming tools. Who would possess these advanced coding tools? Possibly aliens."

There isn't a worse show then the stupid mutant pig family of crooks:




A guy walks in with the actual JFK man on the moon speech, passed down through his family. He's about to lose his house and needs cash. So the bald asshole says he needs to get it verified by an expert. The expert verifies the item and says it's priceless and then leaves. The guy is all excited and says, now what will you give me? I can give you $500! What? But the expert said it's priceless I need at least $50,000 to save my house, NO sorry the most I can give you is $600! Any more and I'll be losing money. The guy takes the $600 and walks out defeated and soon homeless. The bald fuck gets on the phone then goes to the back where all the fat fuck family members are sitting around and says, guess what, I just sold this speech to the Smithsonian for $500,000!! I win the bet for the biggest rip off of the day woo hoo!

Every show is the same!

I could not agree with you more, I can't stand this show. And what's worse is-have you ever noticed how much the HC airs this show a week? I checked on my Direct TV guide, and this week alone there are 75 showings of Pawn Stars. 75!!!!
