That is an astoundingly debatable statement. Especially the past couple years.

Previously it was the Hitler channel. Now it seems to be the conspiracy and mystic codes channel.

History Channel is in this weird situation where honestly a lot of the good crap comes out in the off hours like the middle of the night, because then's when you get to hash out actual specific historical content that doesn't necessarily conform to a primetime-format appeal that led to their homogeneous WWII fixation.

The conspiracy-and-mystic-codes stuff I am more than willing to explain away as a daytime-tv-disease. Even Discovery Channel does it. Everyone goes off to work and then the television demographics get all dumb, and out comes the shows about pet psychics and bermuda crop triangle haunting landing fakes shows.

Yeah, I find that whenever I have a chance to watch, HT is usually showing either recycled WWII stuff or that mystic codes crap.

But, when I look at the tv guide and actually check some programs out, they have some fantastic documentaries on various topics. History Channel gets a bad rap, despite the fact that they earned part of it.
