Anybody else watch the history channel more than any other channel?
If so which are your favourite history channel shows?

The History Channel is usually a decent bet to flip to during commercials...but theres too much WWII crap on there to keep me interested for any amount of time.

Agreed, I know too much about that period in time, I know more about that period than I do about the decade that preceded my birth.

Well yeah we only get the most popular US shows too (in Canada), but there is still too much WWII, too often!

I haven't seen anything besides horrible reality shows on "History Channel" in a very long time. History International has all the good stuff now, but it's not HD yet.

They used to have non-stop WW2 documentaries though yeah, it was referred to as [H]itler Channel.

Seriously. They have a show on the history channel now called Big Shrimpin'. http://www.history.com/shows/big-shrimpin
What the fuck.

Yes! That hardcore pawn is beyond awful. Just people arguing the whole time.
Pickers is a good show though, I do like that stuff, because of old historical/antique items... Pawn Stars is good but I notice it's been getting more and more scripted as it goes on. Still about as decent as reality shows gets. There's 2 new ones I noticed called Picker Sisters and Pawn Queens lol. Can't stand the Storage Wars thing though.

Ancient Aliens and UFO Hunters are cool in a sort of scifi kind of way. Decoded is a joke. I tried watching the Sharp Shooters or Top Shot show, but I can't help but be annoyed at the loud commentary during it, it seems like it would be much better if there wasn't a play-by-play "announcer".
I still watch all the reruns of The Universe when they air too.

US Top Gear is awfuuuul haha.

Got the box set of the World at War and BBC4, never feel the need for the history channel

Too many weird shows with outrageous claims and reality shows that have nothing to do with history imo

International is where it's at
