In happier news, Cosmos (2014) is now on Netflix.
What I really wonder about the devolution here is if/how the viewership has changed?
If people who are interested in the sort of material that Discovery used to show have simply moved on to learn and explore their curiosity elsewhere while the channel fattened up on insatiable reality TV consumers raised on network TV it would be sad.
If people who were interested in the sort of material that Discovery used to show have been gradually transformed into reality TV consumers it would be tragic.
- click170 12y agoI used to enjoy Discovery Channel shows but lately I've all but lost interest in favor of BBC, ITV, Smithsonian, Al-Jazeera, and HBO for Last Week Tonight. PBS Frontline is still pretty good, but it seems like Discovery Channel, History, and Nat Geo seem like they're producing shows of lower and lower quality.
