Is there a reason to why the History Channel is now providing programs about 2012 or doomsday in general? Is it meant to scare us? I really do not understand.
 
I used to call it the Hitler Channel because all they ever had was WWII stuff. Then the Military Ch happened so they moved Hitler over there. Anything that is narrated by Edward Herrmann is excellent, but I wont waste my time with anymore of the 2012 nonsense or Nostradamus stuff, or trucks that drive on ice (that's history?) or searching for UFOs or whatevery dribble they put on there sometimes.
 
You mean the Hysteria Channel? I used to love them, but lately it seems like they care more about the stuff that will get the big ratings instead of objective history. I've watched some of their shows, like the ones about Ancient Rome, and have been screaming at the television as they rattle off untruth after untruth.

especially when they do shows about new age garbage like the 12 crystal skulls, which a quick wikipedia search afterwards gave the origins of the skulls as being manufactured sometime in the late 19th century in Germany... Geesh, is their quality control so bad that they don't even do wikipedia searches to ensure historical accuracy?

And that 2012 crap really brings my piss to a boil. They don't even frame it in a historically accurate mindset that it is widely regarded as pseudoscience, just a bunch of neo-mystic hacks shamelessly promoting themselves.

That's why I generally don't watch Hysteria Channel anymore. Some of their stuff is ok, like their WWII stuff, but for the most part, it's just noise.
