The Learning Channel where you don't learn anything!
Wait...is that actually what TLC stands for?! We just got the channel over here and from the moment I saw it's line-up I was thinking something along the lines of Tender Love and Care or something. If anything it looked like a channel aimed at bored WASP housewives. But The Learning Channel?! Man and I thought Discovery Channel had slid. On that note:
Same vein of thought.... Discovery channel used to cover anthropology documentaries, archeology shows about lesser known cultures and now it is about guys who ride motorcycles....
It still has that over here. Yeah there's hot-rod stuff (waste of amazing cars) and motorcycle crap (still wouldn't mind having one) but shows like the Mythbusters, Through The Wormhole and anything with Ray Mears still have a pretty solid place in at least the Dutch Discovery Channel's programming. It's not what it used to be perhaps (where's Time Team?!?!) but compared to TLC...

My sister usually is watching that channel for the Cake Boss thing. I told her she's watching a channel that's liquid retarded. She thinks half of the shows are hilariously.

Well, it is, but I wish it never existed.

That was ages ago and part of reason why I quit TV upon seeing what is on history and tlc nowadays. The few history shows on the history channel are of the elementary grade level anyway. What does ice road trucking have to do with history?

So, history was better when it was the all WWII channel?

Ice Road Truckers is considered a part of Living History.

Eh, yeah. Companies are not allowed to change over time and become something different. They must sick to their original premise until the end of time. No, that's a lousy way to conduct business and a sure fire way to get killed off.

I miss when it was the ww2 channel, at least back them it seemed like they tried to fact check shit, after that they went insane with aliens and now its all about crap people find in their back yard. At least discovery still has myth busters, deadliest catch is good but I miss my damn science shows.

And here I thought you meant TLC as in Fable: TLC and then have some odd screen shot, showing us something really weird and you would ask us why.

But this is worse. Oh, so worse. It's one of those moments where a face desk isn't enough. One of those moments where you just lost a little more faith in humanity. Actually, scratch that. You lose a lot in faith in humanity by watching that. I felt my brain cells dying.

Oh TLC... You have fallen from grace in such a way so as to be almost completely unsalvageable.

Anyone remember when TLC had Junkyard Wars? Those were the days...

It's too bad the pander to the lowest elements of society now.

anc[is]Still beats the History Channel 24 hour Pawn Stars network. At least TLC has a bit of variety.
Before that it used to be the Hitler Channel, considering every time I turned it on there was something about Nazis or WWII being shown. So in essence its not much different cuz there's more to History than Hitler and his goons.

It seems they have split up the real content into their own seperate channels. If you really want engaging TV like the good old days, you have to watch the Science Channel. If you want WWII history, that's what the Military Channel is for.

These are dark days indeed. I remember when Discovery was about science and technology, and TLC was comparable. Remember the old show, "Next Step?" Damn, I miss that show.

That was awful.
What language were they speaking: caveman? I did not understand a word that was said.
Sadly, people will probably watch it.

Woah man, your shock comes about a decade late, and more like 15 years.

The truly sad by is that history, science, and nat geo channels jhave all gone thqe Same direction. American colony, American pickers, pawn stars, ancient aliens-

You still have h2, and PBS.

Get used to it. I will probably switch to a streaming or purchase tv, probably run by apple, the year.

Damn it's hard to edit text on an apple

Indeed, but I saw something on there about the Battleship Yamato. Since I play Navyfield, it was very interesting for me.

Edit: Quoting fail, haha.

Now, I love me some reality TV. I adore Top Chef and Project Runway and Survivor and America's Next Top Model...but you couldn't pay me to watch that white trash BS.
Oh Susan, you womanly woman. Everyone needs a guilty pleasure eh?

Yeah sorry though, I'd see those two go as gladly as...this. Top Chef is okay though but it'd be nice if those competitions would get actual depth and wouldn't have that horribly over-the-top staging so second nature to "reality" TV.

History Channel makes excuses for that kind of crap by saying "History! Made Every Day! And since truckers drive trucks over ice every day..... History, lol!" Yeah, its pretty ridiculous.

And stuff like what the op posted? What is this crap? Lowest common denominator much, huh? I'm gonna go cry in a corner now.

What the actual fuck. This is what passes for a documentary nowadays?! I'm going to curl up with my old video of The Trials of Life and cry.
