Being obsessed with Hitler was the best thing about History. They got a shitload of WW2 vets in front of cameras to talk about what they did before they all started passing away, a lot of those shows were great.

History Channel has always had weird phases

For a while it was basically nothing but WWII shows.
Then after the DaVinci Code came out it was basically the Gnostic Gnetwork with nothing but Biblical and pseudobiblical stuff.

Senator Grassley is that you?

They did give us Fatkino

Wish I could make one about Locomotion, but I was a child when it started, only was around for its last few years before it turned into Animax latam.

i remember watching victory at sea on a&e

You forgot the part where ESPN overpaid billions for MNF, CFP, and NBA rights just before cord cutting happened

Watching it now. Lupe's story

>muh white fragility

>disgusting
Wow, rude.

god I must have watched at least 10 Hitler WW2 documentaries when I was a kid

Tbh i kinda liked their war tactics series. Heavily biased towards americans though

>be mtv
>Music Television
>for the last 20 years people asking why we don’t play music videos anymore?
>still don’t play music videos

I loved the History Channel when they used to show a bunch of documentaries on ancient rome and greece and such. Wish they still did that.

smithsonian channel is good for what history used to be

>people complain about "the hitler channel"
>then they complained when they stopped showing history stuff

There have been worse downfalls

>be National Geographic Channel
>show wildlife, ecology , astronomy to influence the next generation of scientists
>get bought by Rupert Murdoch
>suddenly, pro-war shit, pro-cop shit, and redneck reality shows on for most of the day
>Only one show is hosted by a scientist, and he's usually interviewing scientifically ignorant celebrities
