RIP Discovery Channel
As I recall back in 2003 when MythBusters started there were still some okay shows left but it went downhill quickly from there.
I haven’t been able to find a good list of Discovery schedules by year, that would make it clear when it became reality only.
The good shows I remember from the 90s was:
- Dinosaur! and When Dinosaurs Ruled with Bob Bakker
- Connections with James Burke
- Beyond 2000
- Time Team
- WW2 documentaries
The weather channel now is ads.
Wasn’t Bravo originally for performing arts? I thought it used to show theater productions and stuff like that.
Isn’t the weather channel just mostly ads now?
David Zaslav is the common denominator across all these examples, and now he’s in charge of Warner Bros…
Television is shit
YouTube is shit
Social media is shit
Wait…
Reality shows have people I never want to meet, mostly.
Reality TV is cheaper to produce than scripted shows. Profit is the reason all they show is reality shows.
No one has mentioned that MTV invented the reality show in 1992 with The Real World.
Yeah, but it is really funny how many people are putting out documentary quality output on YouTube.
This is incorrect. There is also reality tv on the weather channel.
Coming up next “See which wildly underpaid meteorologists bite the dust this time. Coming at you live from inside the storm”
Gold-diggers have it real good, two areas of influence

So disappointed to hear about what happened to Discovery channel. Though their Youtube channel is still amazing!

The Gold Diggers and Gold-Diggers caught me off guard, that’s funny.
