[QUOTE=Brokenfriend;1103576] When was the last time that you saw History on the History channel? QUOTE]

lol That is so true. When History Channel started, they showed documentaries about, you know, history stuff. Now, it's hours and hours of shows about contemporary hillbillies. (Boring, because, for me, it's like watching home movies. ) The criteria seems to be, "It was filmed last week, so it's history, right?" These days, a MASH rerun is as close as that channel comes to anything historical. Pathetic.

A&E is the same. When it started, it was supposed to provide higher cultural content. Yeah, I can see how a show about people fighting over the contents of storage lockers is equivalent to watching a performance of Hamlet by the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Like you, I watch a lot of excellent documentaries on YouTube. What period(s) interest you, especially? Maybe we could swap recommendations.
