    I do watch the History channel for such programs as the Pawn Stars and Forge in fire from time to time but come on in search of Hitler or Aliens or to me the boring pickers shows and ice road truckers.

    With all of human history to draw from why oh why is there any need or excuse to have such shows dealing with Hitler hiding out after WW2?

    History Channel hit the lows when they feature fake shows like Pawn Stars. Discovery is just as bad with Alaskan Bush People and crap like that.

    History Channel has been infatuated with Hitler for as long as I can remember. Before the surge in reality TV shows that entire channel was basically one long continuous WWII/Hitler life documentary lol. Years ago I wondered when they were going to actually run out of Hitler stuff to talk about but it seems like they still haven't yet.

    Oh well at least its actually history and not more reality TV. History and Discovery Channels turning from educational historical media to reality TV was a shame. I used to watch nothing but those channels for the nature and history stuff and now I rarely ever turn them on.

    There is nothing about "History" in a show about pawning stuff to a bunch of greedy creeps..and nothing discoverable in watching fake bush people who have been outted for years as being liars and con artists.

    I almost throw a shoe at my large living room TV monitor when the history channel have someone looking for a small black hole resting on the ocean bottom off the east coast shore.

    How in the world would a mini black hole with at least the mass of a small mountain and the size of an atom rest on the ocean bottom instead of just going to the center of the earth number one.

    Number two by all current theories small black holes can not exist beyond a few micro seconds after the big bang.

    Speaking of the History Channel, has anyone watched their new series Knightfall? I missed Vikings and don't feel like going back through 4 or 5 seasons right now. Also Templars > Vikings in my opinion 8)
