I'm with you on that with Mythbusters. But Discovery does have a few other good shows occasionally.

Thanks

And who could forget the "How it's Made" shows.  Some of those, though abbreviated, can be interesting.

Judging the quality of a History Channel show is easy: if the narrator has a British accent it is probably a BBC production bought by the HC.  It has a much better chance of being good.

I once saw a HC program on the American Revolution.  The narrator was telling of the battles for NY State that culminated in Saratoga.  He mentioned the British invasion of central NY thru the Mohawk River valley.  He said it departed Montreal up the "St. Lawrence Seaway".  Of course they meant the St. Lawrence River but that shows lousy proof-reading or fact-checking or something.  I have never since completely trusted anything I saw on HC.

I would only be worried if the train orders read"...Steve,you're way behind time. This is not 38,it is Old 97,you've got to put 'er in Spencer on time."
Ride Amtrak. Cats Rule, Dogs Drool.
