TheVipaGTS 1 day ago#6 When reality shows and shock value took over. I'm just surprised they didn't go the MTV route and create History2...that showed history for the first year before becoming an "ancient aliens" marathon network. reportquote

masterpug53 1 day ago#7 I feel like whenever they do actual history anymore, they're putting all their eggs into high-production miniseries like The Men Who Built America and The World Wars (both of which I personally enjoyed quite a bit). Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. (edited 1 day ago)reportquote

SpiralDrift 1 day ago#11 I haven't watched since like 2008 but it was getting pretty bad even then. When the channel first started it was legitimately great though. Do unto others what your parents did to you. reportquote

Guess they chose a good name for the channel Head of the Benevolent Church of the 3-13 Archer. "I'm the stripper your husband hired." ~anonymous.

Shadowplay 4 hours ago#17 I remember that documentary they did on The Dark Ages was one of the last good things they did before switching over to the reality based format they have now. H2 had a lot of potential and for awhile it actually had some shows and documentaries related to history and even aired new episodes of that great show The Universe. Last time I checked though, it went down the crapper like the main network. I make a topic in Final Fantasy 12 to ask if Tifa! They said no Tifa. Hardness gone!-gandob reportquote

You can say that about any channel. Like FX. I loved all of those original shows they did in that NYC apartment. Like Breakfast Time. I Loved Breakfast time!!
