That's because TV is nothing but vacuous reality TV -- especially come summer time. People are starved for any creative programming with writing and acting as opposed to seeing the exploits of gay Alaskan cops that horde Peruvian shrunken heads they got while cruising the Yukon Territory across a lake covered by 2 feet of ice. -

For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

History Channel struck gold. The History Channel has been a wasteland...worse than Food Nanny and American Ride. So far Hatfield and McCoys has more than surpassed my expectations."The mind is not a boomerang. If you throw it too far it will not come back." ~ Tom McGuaneComment

Watched Part I last night and the beginning of part II this morning. So far I'm really enjoying it. Tom Berringer plays a pretty good low life."They're good. They've always been good" - David Shaw.
Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.Comment

Did a little reading on Wikipedia to see how much the mini series is deviating from history. Randolph McCoy fathered four additional children with his wife Sarah after 1865 when he returned home from the Civil War so 'Ol Rand's man parts were still intact. Also found out that Sarah was his first cousin but that was probably not uncommon for that era.Originally posted by Katy Lied View Post“Not the victory but the action. Not the goal but the game.

She already mentioned she "wasn't paying close attention". I'm sure it was a reference to Bill Paxton portraying Randolph (Ol' Ran'l) McCoy. It didn't help that Jeff Daniels kept interupting the show with commericials for his new news anchor show.Originally posted by DrumNFeather View Post“Not the victory but the action.

Easy there. Pawn Stars is a show I can watch all day, even as contrived as many of the situations are. And isn't American Pickers on the History channel? You don't enjoy watching grown men haggle over $5?Originally posted by Non Sequitur View PostComment

Looks like we're going to get more of these kinds of shows from the History Channel.Originally posted by Coach McGuirk View Post
They've got a ton a stories to tell, they're the History Channel dammit.
Here's one right off the top of my head, and it's influenced by last Sunday's Game of Thrones episode -- but how about a miniseries about Charles Martel and the Battle of Tours? Would the History Channel even touch this? Muslims nowadays seem to get pissed off over a lot less than they would over a dramatic recounting of the story of a European army beating back an aggressive Islamic army.
Maybe they could extend it out and have it be about Charles Martel through Charlemagne, take some of the emphasis off the Battle of Tours. This might be too ambitious for the History Channel. This would require some major coin.Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”Comment
