Mine are "non fiction/educational" stations, since that is mostly what I watch.
History Channel used to always have something interesting on (even if it was Hitler/Nazis/WW2 for awhile) but now its mostly:
*Cool Things Found/Brought To Pawnshops/Auctions
*People Surviving/Working In Dangerous Environments
*The End Is Nigh/Apocalypse.
*Aliens-Did-It/Conspiracypalooza
Rarely I will find something that is not of the above. The first two would be interesting, if they weren't so dramatized and overabundant.
Discovery Health/Fit&Health was fascinating for awhile, now it's like the modern day freak show style shows on TLC had a love child with Lifetime Network. It has become:
*Look At How Big/Small/Fat/Thin/Deformed This Person Is!
* City Name ER or Wild And Crazy ER.
*Let's Gawk At The Mentally Ill Person's Hoarding/Weird Eating Habits/Obsessions.
*"Insert the Blank" Pregnant/Pregnancy.
If the first and third where handled better I would watch them (I hate the "Look at this strange person!" vibe some of them have). I can't get pregnant and I've done two. I like the shows like Mystery Diagnosis or the ones that followed the Schizophrenic girl named January.
