The normal history channel doesn't really have any good historical poo poo on it, at least in terms of actual, informative programming. Most of their "history" shows are riddled with some pretty bad inaccuracies - especially if they're trying to talk about historical arms and armor. A lot of their other stuff is just hillbillies, truckers, or weirdos selling you poo poo. And Ancient Aliens. Only show I think I've watched recently from the history channel and enjoyed is Vikings, and that's just historical fantasy. Bummer that H2 got flooded with dumb stuff I guess, but Viceland tanking is pretty funny.

Vice was good twice, when it was a skateboarding/fashion zine out of NYC way back in the day, and for a brief period when they started doing news on the internet. Vice now can suck a dick tbh

It's genius - get all the 18-30 year olds that don't have internet with enough disposable income to buy cable. How much does cable cost these days? Ours comes in with an internet/landline/TV package that I don't even think can be unbundled, but I live in a socialist EU hellhole that regulates the gently caress out of it so it's fast and good internet with decent cable for like, 40 Euros a month.

Mumpy Puffinz posted:was it the history channel that did the WWII in color thing, where they collected all the footage and made a film? or was that Discovery? Watch the BBC version on Netflix it's infinitely better and it breaks down the entire war with ALL the color footage.

History channel will be pretty much what TLC became here shortly and Viceland helped nail it to the cross, ironic considering Viceland will probably fall off the air within a year thanks to poo poo numbers. Remember when TLC had poo poo like Junkyard Wars? Now you get to "learn" all about midget families and toddler pageants!

I missed the surgery shows on TLC. nothing like eating a big bowl of icecream during a very graphic open heart surgery. Heck, I'm moving away from Netflix to watch youtube.

The Human Animal I think it was called on TLC. It showed people loving filmed through an IR camera so it was just grainy enough to be uncensored. Then they shoved a tiny camera in the chick's bajingo to film the dude giving her a creampie and then showed her orgasm, all from the inside and all uncensored. Vaginas are weird as hell externally and get even weirder once you get all up in there for a tight close-up of a jizz-splattered, spasming cervix.

Honestly, a lot of those types of channels are poo poo now, probably cause reality TV is easier to make and gets more viewers. As far as history stuff is concerned, I definitely know youtube has a lot of great historical content on it to. Channels from NARA, the Wallace Collection, the National British Museum, and more all have pretty interesting content, including lectures from historians and the like. And, for stuff like arms and armor or historical warfare, there are a decent amount of channels with information based on serious research out there. You can even find speakers from conferences!

Remember when A&E stood for "Arts & Entertainment" and tried to be all cultured and poo poo? Honestly, I only have vague memories of Newsradio re-runs an dthe Mission: Impossible dude doing and intro for the next episode of Biography before I changed the channel.

I remember watching a bunch of Bible shows on A&E before we got the internet because they had paintings with naked chicks and if my parents walked in, they'd be all "awww, our son is such a good Christian" while I quickly acted like I wasn't cranking it under the blanket.

balls Deep, Weediqette, and gently caress That's Delicious are all pretty good but for some reason the channel seems to rerun the gently caress out of the incredibly boring gay vacation show and the first two episodes of the music show

there is so much poo poo on the Vice website, I don't know why they can't just run that if they need to fill time. just throw up a bunch of Vice poo poo like I swear that stupid Chicago episode of Noisey has been on every single day since Vice premiered and it has sucked since day one. Kendrick Lamar sucks

I went to a friends house and he had this channel on. The first show was some hipster hanging out with bears ( big gay men) and gets naked with one and they fondle each other. The next episode he is at some orgasmic meditation group and all the guys are trying to find partners to fingerblast. Nobody wants to be his partner except the gross fat girl, so he goes to town on her. Quality television. such edge

be honest, who has cable that their parents aren't paying for - who is paying $100 a month in 2016 to have commercials screamed at them for 20 minutes of a 30 minute show??

I pay for cable and don't mind, I don't want to torrent everything or watch it on my computer. I like turning the TV on and flipping through the channels.
