I’ll never understand what live television became
I remember the days when those channels actually played what the first images show. I used to love the history Channel
History channel: “We don’t understand basic concepts of engineering or physics, so here’s some shit about how aliens must have built the pyramids. We also have no idea how skyscrapers or bridges are constructed, so that must have been aliens too.”
The Learning Channel (TLC) is just white trash reality TV now.
If Discovery’s reality “people in the jungle” is anything like the Primitive Technology channel on YouTube, that might be good. I was really impressed by that, and it was popular on Reddit. Some guy – IIRC a Kiwi – heads out to the forest with nothing other than his shorts and starts building up technology from scratch, using only what’s in the forest – last I watched, he’d gotten up to iron production.

Looks like the guy is still going:
