Ok, another rant. Just wondering, when the HELL did the History Channel become a reality TV station? Really? Swamp People? How is that remotely related to history? A bunch of toothless inbreds chasing alligators across the swamps. Or Pawn Stars? A bunch of overweight guys nickel and diming people over garage sale treasures. American Pickers, Top Shots, Cajun Pawn Stars, Ax Men, Ice Road Truckers.... the list goes on and on. At what point as a society did we decide to appeal to the lowest common denominator? I can't help but think Seacrest and Kim K. must be behind all this. Ironic that the movie "Idiocracy" is considered a comedy when, in fact, it could be considered a prophecy that Nostradamus would be proud.
It's an overstated cliche but it certainly rings true. George Santayana said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it". Kinda makes you think... Vietnam, Iraq. I'm just sayin'. Kids, do yourself a favor, pick up a book, preferably without pictures, and read it. And when you're done, talk about it, ask questions, search for answers that aren't provided by E News and discover who you are. I beg you!
I like Top shots and Ice Road Truckers, and would watch them on any channel include ETV if I had to. And I did see a Nostradamus show once on H2
