What is wrong with discovery channel??

[Cknight199]

WHAT CHANNEL??????????!!!!! I need to put my dvr to use

sent from a galaxy far far away

It was a while ago but it was the science channel. They also aired "how it's Made" which I always thought was interesting! They only do reruns now it seems like :/

I like the first 48, except that 1/3 of the episodes seem to be in Birmingham. Bad city.

Bomb patrol Afghanistan, Hotel impossible, football :thumb:

And at least half of the remaining 2/3 being in Memphis

The Porter Ridge show reminded me so much of a junkyard about 10 miles from here. If that show is made up they had to use this one to go by. The owners look the same and the whole place looks the same. I'm movin.

There is no sponsor money anymore for TV shows. Reality shows are cheap to produce and I cannot stand them. My family watches very little TV anymore. We watch a lot of classic movies.

In color or black and white?

X2 on White Collar, that show is awesome. New show on USA as well called Graceland who is produced by the same guy who produces White Collar and is really good as well. Sons of Anarchy is pretty good along with The Bridge. Street Outlaws was okay. The folks on Gold Rush are idiots but I still dvr it and watch every episode

Reality shows are The Dumbing of America

[hondarider552]

I'm still hooked on deadliest catch although it seems like I get sea sick just watching it. The whole boat does a :ban-hump:

 

[MadMaxx61]

HGTV is about it and most of the shows are going to shit.

I download what I want to watch as I am never home when stuff is on tv anyways.

Burn notice ( like said going down hill )
Royal pains ( funny but only seen season 1 and 2 )
NCIS ( not as good as it was )
NCIS LA ( not that good but the gf likes it )
Lost girl ( hot chick kicking ass bad acting lol )
Hawaii five O ( I like crime stuff )
Castle ( more crime )
Supernatural ( going in the crapper but killer sound track. )

Thats my list.

RIGHT! There's only so many times I can watch baldy, and oompa loompa try to piece together what happened.

 

[durallymax]

We've never had a cable/sat bill and never will. I get the networks over the air (OTA), it's the best HD signal that can be got.

For other shows I enjoy like Deadliest Catch, Ice Road Truckers, Yukon Gold, I have a "Raspberry Pi" running xbmc. It's the best $100 I ever spent.

I'll have to check out Engineering Disasters and revisit Junkyard Wars on the Pi this evening. What else is good?

YOu still like Ice Road Trucks or you did like IRT? The first season was interesting, but like any other reality show they have to try and add some drama to it because there is only so much you can video tape about driving a semi. I know enough people who drive on the ice road and its honestly no different than many other roads. Sure it takes a different set of skills, but its not some elite status with death around every corner. Its like any other road in America, you are more likely to get taken out by some distracted driver than anything else.

It takes awhile to get through all of his videos, but I enjoyed watching Dave Redmans "behind the scenes" videos about IRT. At first I though he was just whining, but after I got through them I realized he seems like a pretty nice dude that they made look like a crabass. I 100% agree with his opinion on reality shows like this, there is nothing wrong with making them, just don't lead people to believe this is really what happens. Put a disclaimer at the beginning that the show is based on real events.

Holy crap do I hate reality tv, history channel is dead to me. What happened to modern marvels!

x2 Love that show, its on H2 once and awhile I think. I think its funny they had to make another network because their original one was too full of BS.

It was a while ago but it was the science channel. They also aired "how it's Made" which I always thought was interesting! They only do reruns now it seems like :/

I remember seeing Junkyard Wars on there as well awhile back. They play How its Made nonstop it seems like.

X2 on White Collar, that show is awesome. New show on USA as well called Graceland who is produced by the same guy who produces White Collar and is really good as well. Sons of Anarchy is pretty good along with The Bridge. Street Outlaws was okay. The folks on Gold Rush are idiots but I still dvr it and watch every episode

I've been wanting to watch Graceland, previews look good. USA makes a lot of good shows.

Hell by the time I get home it's King of the Hill, Family Guy, and if I manage any later, Squidbillies haha.

 

[Vrabel]

That's why I only watch Family Guy

 

[Chevy1925]

Hell by the time I get home it's King of the Hill, Family Guy, and if I manage any later, Squidbillies haha.

Holy hell, thats about all i seem to get to watch! :rofl: when i get home, im usually in the garage working on something. i usually come in late but have been setting a "cutoff time" lately cause getting up the next moring sucks. By then, thats all thats on

Anymore, i watch the cooking channel (cut throat kitchen is kinda funny), BBC for top gear, fast n loud, mythbusters when it comes on, and other things i find interesting flipping through channels. my 2 years for direct tv is up in two months and Erin has finally bugged me enough to get internet in the house so ill probably switch to Cox for two years, then go somewhere else again for a deal.

 

[lts1ow]

I don't watch TV, and would get rid of it but the other members of the fam refuse to let it go.

That guy loves to talk!

I agree the Discovery Channel has gone bananas! Reality TV as a whole has gone bananas. Look at TLC which stands for The Learning Channel. They produce and air Honey Boo Boo! What are we learning?

 

[02greysixer]

Yeah TLC went in the crapper a long time ago. Seems like all it is now it's that asinine honey boo boo, a bunch of shows about babies, and shows where very feminine men pick out women's clothes for them. I don't know how they can still call it "The Learning Channel"

sent from a galaxy far far away

 

[blk smoke lb7]

I can say ive only watched 1 honey boo boo and I felt genuinely dumber afterwards at no point did I get any learning or entertainment from that show and just couldn't believe that a show like that could make it even to a pilot status.
