The History Channel has no Credibility

The history channel might have inherent stupidity, but they do have a website with discussion with forums covering western and non-western topics.

Got to see that and The History of Underwear. Both while in high school.

It’s the only time I remember getting to control the television while a sophomore in HS. Nobody objected:D

Hey Guinstasia!
My library has the History of Sex on video… you might check with your local library… I mean if the Utah libraries have it YOURS SHOULD :smiley: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

There WAS one episode I wanted to see, and only caught the tail end-it was called The Balkan Tinderbox, and was narrated by Charleton Heston (Yeah, I know, I know). But did anyone catch this? Did they mention anything about the Serbian Royal family?

I caught part of that Nostradamus show. The first thing I thought when I saw it was “This footage looks twenty years old.” The second thought was “Is that Orson Welles?” A few minutes (very few) confirmed both suspicions. Those few minutes were at the end when he mentioned the future as one containing 1982.

???

They’re showing this as legitimate? I hope not. I hope that their justification of this was that it’s a historical “documentary” of Nos., but I didn’t see any disclaimers. Strapped for viewers, were we?

But I do love the History of Britain. Ah, Simon Schama, you have an accent the angels dream of…

Credit where it’s due. I think THC provided partial funding for that series – obviously they weren’t involved in the production or anything serious like that. I guess the end credits would confirm the case.

I didn’t realize that your cable selection included American broadcast TV. On my local cable system (with about four dozen channels), there are two kinds of channels - those that I could get anyway with an antenna and those that are strictly cable channels which aren’t broadcast anywhere. The cable system doesn’t carry broadcast stations from distant cities (or from Canada). I didn’t realize that Canadian cable systems carried American broadcast TV.

In any case, the point that I was making was that what you’re watching on PBS on cable is not a general PBS feed. It’s a particular PBS channel, presumably the one nearest you. PBS channels can choose which PBS shows to broadcast and which non-PBS shows to include. PBS channels are not uniform in their programming across the U.S.

Krusty The Klown said the mice/cats thing, not Homer. It’s in the episode “Girly Edition” where Lisa and Bart host a kids news show. And it goes a little something like this:

“Oh, please! What don’t they learn? Don’t trust mice, cats are made of glass…”

Gosh, you guys are way behind. Here in America now they just lower our IQ’s manually using electrodes.

Seriously, though which PBS station are you getting, out of which city?
