What happened to Discovery channel?

[Siggles]

Now it's Deadliest Catch channel, which I think is the most stupid piece of shit every created by mankind. What ever happened to shows about nature or aliens or the ocean or some other shit besides a bunch of fucking drunk hobos catching crabs in the middle of a storm.

[TheArtist04]

I didn't know it was that severe. :( Wow.... Planet Earth and storm chaser shows are good though. :) Buy the boxsets I suppose

[Phantom]

Discovery really did use to be better. Some episodes of Deadliest catch are alright, I like Ultimate Survivor and "How it's made" but a lot of the shows seem out of place.. Brainiac, Time-warp and Myth-busters are all O.K shows, but on the Discovery channel?

[Judzfell]

People arn't entertained by that anymore? I dont fucking know, I sure am. Deadliest catch sucks.. MYTHBUSTERS is fucking pathetic aswell.

[Leidolfr]

whatever it used to be Mike Rowe power hour all day everyday....he reminds me of earnest

YES! FINALLY! Someone other than myself sees that that show is SHIT! Back when I was a kid, I used to be able to just watch mythbusters all day, but now it's either deadliest catch or one of those stupid-ass logging shows. Really, if the jobs are "soooooo dangerous oooooooh", then how do they get cameramen there?

[SeeInTheDark]

Imo I think it's sort of a sell-out to gain a larger audience, one that likes a higher entertainment-to-new knowledge ratio. Or it could be that many previous watchers now watch channels more like National Geographic Channel (digital cable).

[Joshiwa]

Its probably just a marathon on at the moment. Honestly I don't watch that channel much other than dirty jobs, mythbusters and man vs. wild from time to time.

[Cafei]

The Discovery Channel must have died when they stopped soliciting hot porn for minors.

[Sensationalism]

You and me baby ain't nothin but mammals so let's do it like they do on the deadliest catch channel.

That's not right!

HOLY SHIT you read my mind. I was just thinking this awhile ago when I saw a commercial for deadliest catch. Since when did catching crabs give people such a hardon? Ice road truckers is another bullshit boring show... starring suicidal alcoholic truck drivers.

[RandomExploit]

The best thing they've caught is a fucking outhouse.

[Nintendavin]

People with big wads of cash, that's what happened.

THEY SHOW BRANIAC?! That is the best news I've ever heard.

[alucardxmeow]

Yeah I agree, a lot of the good shows aren't there anymore, however Man vs Wild is a pretty good show. So is How it's made.

As for deadliest catch, I don't know how people can get into that. Seriously I tried watching it and it was boring as hell.

[dgple]

discovery is amazing. the only bad show is cash cab

[CrazyDelmar]

I just wait for the next season of Storm Chasers. I can relate to it, with being in SKYWARN and all that.

[reveihca]

Probably the same thing that happened to CourtTV, now known as TruTV (a mediocre reality TV station featuring "The World's Wackiest Police Chases" as its signature program). Viewers would rather tune in for "Deadliest Catch" than "How The Earth Was Made."

No they don't show Brainaic. I don't know where he got that but he is wrong.

Also there is so much Deadliest Catch on because they are starting their now season. It wasn't on that often, if at all, during its off season.

[americanidiot2f]

Television series have to end at one point.
Plus in my opinion, The Discovery channel isn't that horrible.

[Hiphopopotamus]

The only good series they have is Mythbusters and Man VS Wild.

[Jamoke]

Don't get me started on the Discovery Channel. Now-a-days the woman's got me constantly watching Dr. G: Medical Examiner. I never thought they could make something as monotonous as an autopsy into an over-dramatized reality TV show. And oh my god the cliffhangers.
Coming up after the break, the results of the toxicology test! DUN DUN DUN *GASP*
And in Florida, it's always meth. No surprises there, but they like to make you think there will be anyway.

My advice to anyone watching Discovery Channel: change it to History Channel, and maybe you'll get lucky and catch the tail end of an episode of something hosted by Carl Sagan.

[Metal-Sonic-v2]

Well, I rarely watch shows on that channel. But, whenever I have watched MythBusters and Dirty Jobs, I've enjoyed them.

[Eyeguy]

It just used to be American Chopper channel with a little Mythbusters in between.

[Judzfell]

Myth busters is just fucking bullshit, they do things, trying to prove their myths, yet they dont do them properly, which results in millions of viewers believing things are impossible when they REALLY arn't

[Estamel]

I agree, But another show I hate is destroyed in seconds, They take 5 - 10 minutes to explain and do 1000 action replays of 1 tiny disaster. Though a show if you could call it one that I like is the "Worlds top ten best ______".

[thatoneguyfromDD]

Planet Earth and Mythbusters are cool.

[DanBomer]

Better than that cash cab bullshit.

[Ultor]

Loads of channels declined in quality throughout the years I suppose they are trying to find new ways to phase the viewer.

Remember its all about ratings if everyone is watching that all the time then they will air it more often.

Dont worry eventually everyone will bore of it.
