Science programming on cable TV channels
 

This is really brilliant:

The only thing Green about the Green Channel by the Discovery Network is the word "Green" in its title.

About all I watch is the History Channel. And that is mainly for the WWII in HD stuff. I also watch the Ancient Aliens and Myth Busters.

I lost hope on Modern Marvels when they started doing things like underwear. Not my idea of a modern marvel...

The Weather Channel has gotten in on the reality TV bandwagon too. I call their shows; "Let's Watch Stupid People Die!".

The History Channel one is incorrect...

"Show about Adolf Hitler/Third Reich/WWII" should be about 87%...

My wife calls it "The Hitler Channel" but she puts up with it because I'm sort of a history buff...

Later! OL JR :)

PS... "and now we return you to "Thanksgiving in the Third Reich", here on the History channel"... (fave quote from "Klyde Morris" cartoons by Wes O., founder/proprietor of Dr. Zooch Rockets) :chuckle:

If they aren't showing Third Reich, it's gangsters.

Gangsters, or GANGSTAS? :rolleyes:

That sounds more like National Geographic. And Military Channel seems more like the "all WWII" channel. History seems to be focussing on transport (IRT, etc.) and junk (Pawn Stars, Pickers and Am Restoration).

Y'know, for ALL of these channels, I wish themed just settle into schedule and STICK TO IT! All these marathons are driving me crazy - no predictability at all. :mad: And these guys seem to take any excuse they can to run a marathon ("it's Saint Swithens day... Time to run a 'Deadliest Catch' all day marathon"! :p

I can't wait for the "Hitler's baby pictures revealed" and "Hitler's 100th family reunion" marathon on Weasel Stomping Day on The History Channel...

Crap?? Sir, Pawn Stars is not crap. (I'll agree with you on American Pickers). Chumlee is my hero!!! Chumlee for President! (Hey, can't be any worse than what we got now!!) My six year old daughter has really gotten into "American Restoration". A couple years ago she wanted to do a painting on her own and take it into the Pawn Shop and sell it... I told her "They won't buy it-- they want famous artists", she said, "well, I'll tell them it's by someone famous!" (Crafty kid! LOL:))

Personally I like "World's Dumbest" and "Operation Repo" on TRU-TV... always good for a laugh... Keira like "Lizard Lick Towing" (which is okay I guess).

hahahaha... people suck! LOL:) OL JR :)

I like both American Pickers and Pawn Stars. I like seeing capitalism and entrepreneurialism depicted in a positive light :)

Seriously, if we're ever gonna get our economy going again, I think entrepreneurialism is gonna be a key element. We need to get away from the notion of being "employees" and start thinking about being entrepreneurs. That's what Mike and Frank and Rick are. And I'm pretty sure they're making decent money doing it :)

Unfortunately, that wont support the economy. And, there are people like me, who have tried (repeatedly) and can never get my own business off the ground. Just not in my skill set, I suppose.

Which is why most of my carrier has centered around factories. Bad part of that is that a lot of them are in China now. While I am a good swimmer, that is a bit far...
