Battles B.C.

Wow - what a huge step backwards. This is clearly an enormous pile of steaming shit. The people they get to comment on it certainly are third or fourth tier "experts" also - I'd bet the usuals were way too afraid to let their names be associated with something this awful.

Here's a thought, would you rather have Battles B.C or more UFOs?

ive lost alot of respect for the history channel here recently, monster quest, UFO's and reality TV B.S. has really made me angry. ITS THE HISTORY CHANNEl. it should be about history not monsters and little green men. And the whole Hannibal 300 conparison they are making is a great example of how far they have fallen, their documentry directors see a movie like 300 and try to make what they saw apply to the punic war is embarassing. They did the same thing when the movies Alexander and Patriot came out if i recall correctly, alot of the shots and the visual effects in their documnetries were awfully similar as far as i could tell.

wat ever happened to Roger Mudd????? That dude told it how it was, and those documenteries were freaking great. he prolly passed away but man i liked how the history channel did things back then.

I never had any respect for them anyway. They always do the sensational stories. I have not watched TV since I was 10, and the last thing I remember watching on History (sic) Channel was a "documentary" about the purported "Bible Code". They make me sick. Same goes for the "Discovery" (sic) Channel. (sic) because there is no real history or discovery in both. I remember watching some Discovery Channel show one time, and it had busty females in skimpy clothing spraying water on each other and testing various explosives. And that was supposed to be a children's programme. At noon.

Kids in my school seem to think I am a smart nerd, so they always run to me and brag how "they watched the History Channel" yesterday as if it is some exceptional intellectual achievement. I may be a snob and an "elitist" but I do not approve of getting one's own knowledge from television. I read books. I believe I am actually making some effort to learn. Sitting in a couch, devouring and masticating crisps (chips), gurgling a soft drink and then claiming to be "smart" is not something I accept.

Everything intellegent produced in the last 30 years has moved to science channel.

Honestly, it's one thing to produce an adaptation of a fantasy graphic novel such as 300, and entirely another to pass this garbage as history facts. This is wanton mis-education.

The more I watch History Channel... the more I love vainilla RTW.
