What went wrong?
Discovery Channel and other 'educational' channel
Other urls found in this thread:
The future is wild and alien planet are both kino
They realized that idiots are a majority and could make more money with shows for them.
They got away from nature documentarys and started turning out shitty reality TV
>wives with knives
>deadly affairs
>scorned
why would I pay to watch them promote killing a spouse
At least animal documentaries are and always will be near universally appealing. Flat out history shit is boring as fuck though.
>it's all about making more money bro
I just find it hard to believe they're actually making more money with all the lame bullshit that's on now. Really, really hard to believe.
Fear Thy Neighbor is pretty good.
History channel is basically back to back ww2 content.
That's sad, they should do more WW1 stuff and older stuff.
Science fuck yeah happend. Normies think science is a bunch of explosions and party tricks.
Why is it hard to believe? People are stupid as fuck.
Just took a look at the listings for Discovery:
>crazy dudes in a tundra
>crazy dudes in a forest
>Mythbusters spinoffs
>CSI
Jesus. This is almost as bad as G4 or Spike in it's final days
Jew executives
Atleast they have Battlebots
They discovered bigfoot but he's just too elusive to catch on camera.
You mean WW2 propaganda. They never aired what really happened, about Typhus and how it was impossible to gas so many in such a small amount of time and cremate all the bodies. They also expect us to believe that Hitler moved muh 6 gorillian TWICE during the war (once to the ghettos and then AGAIN to the camps).
HELLO Yea Forums I HAVE USE FOR YOU
it became the Alaska channel with nothing but goldmining and hermits survival bullshit
>when I was 7 years old I used to watch documentaries about cool shit like sharks, dinosaurs, tornadoes, earthquakes, hurricanes etc. on the Discovery Channel and TLC
>the state of both channels now
Especially TLC. Jesus Christ what happened there?
They discovered how to make more money for less.
Reality tv is substantially cheaper to produce than regular programming.
They're also hemmorhaging cable viewers and are afraid to risk putting money into more costly educational productions when their average viewer just wants to be entertained.
Maybe 20 years ago...
kino pair coming through
you just know
So what's your favorite Discovery Channel show back then user?
I remember liking Mythbusters, How it's made and Wild Discovery and that one Dinosaur documentary (Planet Dinosaur/Dinosaur Planet I think).
Discovery Kids was kino:
>Strange Days at Blake Holsey High
>Mystery Hunters
>Truth or Scare
>Flight 29 Down
First seasons of Mythbusters was based but their editing became horrible as the seasons went by. I remember the cut-recap versions back then being only ~20mins.
>ywn never take Snowbird's virginity in our love shack made of old tires.
I miss Discovery Health, holy shit I loved watching the ER shows and freaks with diseases & they literally replaced it with a channel dedicated to fucking Oprah
Americans are retarded.
Simple as.
Anyone with a brain knows the holohoax never happened. The propaganda don't work no morr
Modern TV was a mistake
>Modern TV was a mistake
It's dying and youtube is taking over. What could possibly go wrong?
Last time I tuned in they had a show about making robots based on animals and making them fight in cgi, is that still a thing?
That's 'Animal Face Off'. The show is from 15 years ago user. I was still a kid when first watching it, and I still remember very disappointed with how lion manages to beat tiger and anaconda beating a jaguar. The CGI was bad then, and even worse by our modern standard. They also have silly 'obviously who is going to win' fight like Hippo vs bull shark or elephant vs rhino lmao.
Hell yeah
I remember putting on TLC in the early 90’s and watching a gastric bypass with a sprinkling of gallbladder surgery before dinner
Discovery and History are basically redneck TV now with constant blue collar, storage, and pawn shows.
I remember watching Discovery Travel and Adventure all those years ago...
They changed from actually showing cool shit like top ten industrial disasters to doing reality television instead. Remember when TLC was the learning channel? Now it’s just about exploiting trannies and freaks. Sad
“Reality” television brings in viewers while being extremely cheap to make. This all started with Deadliest Catch.
Their final season was an abomination of editing
