Whats wrong with Discovery Channel?

I used to enjoy discovery channel, but all I am discovering there lately is horrible programming. First they give Cody Lundgrin the ax, now it's this poorly done Russian Yeti thing that resembles The Blair Witch Project. Jeeeezzz!

It was a really awesome network in the 90's. It was all about science and nature. They showed really trippy documentaries on a regular basis. TLC was the same way. The History Channel was excellent until a few years ago. It showed really cool history documentaries all the time. While I'm at it, MTV and VH1 used to be excellent networks. Those are all pathetic networks now. I hate what happened to them.

Nobody watches those channels anymore. Find some good science shows on Youtube and watch them instead. Television is dying, you should be happy.

YouTube channels typically don't have the budget or resources to make top documentaries. The BBC still makes decent documentaries (they tend to be on BBC4 in the UK) and the nature footage is amazing. TV isn't dying and neither are informative TV shows, it's mainly just a weird American problem.

I agree with this. BBC makes some quality programming. They make what people actually want, as opposed to whatever inane concepts American TV makers seem to be dreaming up.

YouTube has a lot of really good documentaries that were made for the once cool networks.

Foodnetwork is getting worse too.

I can still see Giada's breasts a couple times a day, but there are so many goofy cupcake competitions and food truck crap and other reality nonsense. I miss me some Julia and Jaques, pronouncing things horribly and cooking awesome food.

Good to see I'm not alone on this. It is like the fall of MTV etc. Good origional concepts turned to crap after a few years.
I tried to like youall's comments, but I guess my like button has gotten stuck.
Soooo....like to all!

Thanks. Senseless Banter doesn't have the like system.

One of my favorite networks was LMN, Lifetime Movie Network. It's not the same as Lifetime. It's just the movie network owned by Lifetime. Well, it was a movie network. They played a whole lot of movies with the theme of a new lover turning out to be psychopath. I'm a huge fan of that stuff. Now LMN plays a bunch of crime reality shows. They are trying to be A&E or something. They also show Celebrity Ghost Stories. That network is done too. I think the cheap movies about lovers revealed to be psychos aren't being made as often as they were, so LMN doesn't have much to work with other than movies they have already shown and other types of shows.

I think there is too much scripted"reality" shows nowadays. NatGeo still has some good nature shows a few times a year and hey.....SHARK WEEK is coming up. That is usually interesting untilled they and some scripted docudrama in the line up.
Haha I never noticed Giadas boobs! Lol, yeah cupcakes and cakes are over the top. However I kind of like the Bar Rescue show and the one where they save the restraints too.
