When I was younger, I loved TV shows about history. The world wars, ancienty history, and anything in between was something I had a great passion for. So, naturally, the History channel was one of my most frequent sources for my favourite shows. As I got older however, I started to drift away from such shows and pretty much abandoned the channel.
I recently started to rekindle my interest in history and as such decided to go back and visit the old channel once more.
And what did I find?
Ice road truckers. Storage wars. Ax men. Deadliest roads. And a multitude of other shows that have virtually nothing to do with history.
What happened? This was supposed to be a channel devoted to talking about the past, and yet recently it seems to have been taken over by shows that don't have any place anywhere near the word "history".
