Why your iOS device may be a better cable box than the Apple TV
- te_chris 12y agoAnyone else saddened by how high the "history" channel ranks? Last time I tuned in there was a show about Nazi's and Aliens and then a whodunnit about Jesus. All rather sad really, on a channel ostensibly about history.

- tzs 12y agoApproximately 35-40% of the shows History runs (by show, not by air time) are fairly straight history. Another 10-15% are historical dramatizations or are arguably straight science rather than history (for example, "The Universe"). The Nazi aliens and such pay the bills that keep the serious stuff on the air (although "Pawn Stars" gets a lot of viewers, yet actually includes a lot of serious history content, so there is hope for making money without resorting to aliens or ghosts). Use your TV schedule and DVR to skip the silly money making stuff.
- harlanlewis 12y agoTomorrow's schedule: http://www.history.com/schedule.do http://www.history.com/schedule.do * Swamp People (multiple episodes) - Cajun reality show * Down East Dickering - knockoff Pawn Stars reality show * 'Info Documentaries' - pretty sure this is 3 hours of infomercials * Gettsyburg Civilians - a history show! At 4:30am. * UFO Files - from 7am til 5pm * Ancient Aliens - 5pm til 8pm * more UFO Files until midnight That's the entire schedule for the day, no omissions. Reality shows, then informercials, then 17 (seventeen!) straight hours of aliens. They do spend 30 minutes on Gettysburg at 4:30am, which along with WWII is the only history the History Channel even considers touching.
