God, I miss when MTV actually played MUSIC instead of all the "reality" show
garbage. Likewise, I miss when the HISTORY Channel used to run HISTORY
documentaries. They used to run so many WW2 documentaries that people jokingly
called them the "Hitler Channel". At least it was entertaining and
educational. I also love American Civil War documentaries. The pinnacle, of
course, being PBS's Ken Burn's Civil War, but the History Channel used to have
quite a bit of material on the ACW. I've had the DVD boxset of Ken Burn's
Civil War for a long time, but just picked up the bluray set not too long ago.
The material isn't dramatically improved, but there is a lot of extra material
such as the full interview with Shelby Foote, which is worth the price alone.
I've read quite a few of his books and he was a great story teller.
History Channel these days is that "Ancient Aliens" garbage. When you thought
TV couldn't be dumbed down any further, they prove us wrong!
