Fuck you discovery channel!

[LlamaMaster]

Every fucking time I turn to the discovery channel, I'm greeted with deadliest catch. AWESOME. In case you haven't seen deadliest catch, heres a complete overview of the series:

Hurr imma catch crabs lol. OSHI, wave!

Must they show this piss stain of a reality show every other hour!?!? (sometimes more, I haven't counted) Just look at this schedule!

http://dsc.discovery.com/tv-schedules/daily.html

I can't remember the last time I've learned something from the discovery channel, or have seen something other than bullshit reality shows. (cash cab, it takes a thief, and all the other lame ass shows they toss at us.) Pretty much the only good show they have anymore is mythbusters, which hasn't got a new episode in ages.

In short, discovery channel is a rating driven slut of a network. The Science Channel has the only shows that actually mean something.

Oh, and one more thing. Planet green can suck my balls.

The Science Channel has succeeded the original Discovery Channel in terms of learning new things. However, they need some new shows.

[Xetsuei]

I watch history if I want to learn shit, I occasionally like to watch Deadliest Catch (if there are any new episodes), but when it's a constant 24/7 marathon I don't care for it that much.

[Con]

I totally agree. All that seems to be on is Deadliest Catch, Dirty Jobs, Criss Angel Mindfreak, and Strangest UFO Stories.

[TeeKup]

I used to like deadliest catch. But I think they've been pushing it too much because of lack of material. The History Channel however seems to turn out new shows at least every season or every other season. I'm looking forward to Evolve and Jurassic Fight Club this tuesday.

[Warsaw]

I remember the days when the History Channel was "OMAGAWDWWII!" all day, every day.

[TeeKup]

Good grief. How long was that interesting? The first week? I'm glad they changed it up. Although I AM a fan of Battle 360.

E: A Haunting is really the only Discovery Channel show I look forward to now.

[Warsaw]

Anything having to do with ghosts, spirits, etc., I find to be utterly unconstructive. Leave that crap to channels like FX and whatnot. They do not belong on channels whose names imply that they will present factual recounts of world and universe happenings.

You crazy americans and your pay TV. When will you learn to stop paying for shit so they have to make it free.

[Snowy]

I like Deadliest Catch... but I think I like Ice Road Truckers more.

Oh, and "A Haunting".. I hate that show.

[Warsaw]

You crazy americans and your pay TV. When will you learn to stop paying for shit so they have to make it free.

And how many channels do you get, good sir?

[Mass]

Still better than G4

[Hotrod]

Well, one great show that was on the Discovery Channel was Monster Garage, you know, the one with Jessie James, and they'd take cars, and make them all cool (I remember one where they made a cop car into a mobile doughnut maker). Also, Daily Planet was interesting, but it plays in the morning, when I'm sleeping...

[Xetsuei]

Monster Garage was fucking amazing, what happened to it?

[n00b1n8R]

And how many channels do you get, good sir?9.

Unless your going to spend your whole life sitting infront of the TV how can anybody justify having 15-20 channels?

[Amit]

It still is, pretty much.

I have about 800+ and don't even watch most of them.


Everytime I turn to Discovery I have a 50/50 percent chance of watching something good. If I'm lucky, Mayday will be showing which is a personal favourite. Last Sunday the marathon of Jetstream was showing which was pretty cool. Dogfights on History is one of my most fav TV shows. G4 is probably the channel I watch most though. Space and Spike are for Star Wars/ StarTrek/Movies/Disorderly Conduct/UFC.

:lmao:

[Xetsuei]

My family has over 9000 available, but we only purchased 150 or so, most of them HD. We only really watch about 10 or 15 of the channels though.

Less here. Probably the same 10 for me. I occasionally watch others for certain shows are movies that are showing but it's mostly just G4, Discovery, History, AMC, and a few others. Also why so many G4 Haters? I can't imagine where else you can get such indepth E3, CGS, CES, Comic-Con, and other event coverage. The website has even more coverage and up to the minute updates.

[Zeph]

My sentiments exactly on discovery channel.
You cant watch anything but The Dog Wisperer on National Geographic now.
History Channel has next to nothing other than ice road truckers, tougher in alaska, and people falling trees.

E: A Haunting is really the only Discovery Channel show I look forward to now.

The way A Haunting is presented is frickin' lame. They make it seem so much scarier than it originally is by adding the stupid motion blur/special effect shit.

[Heathen]

I like deadliest catch, dont like ghost show, like dirty jobs, and idc what else is on. Its the only channel I watch nowadays.

[MMFSdjw]

I haven't had a tv in a couple years now.
The only tv I watch is on DVD or downloaded.

[Heathen]

That sucks.

[n00b1n8R]

Your all stupid. The only pay TV channel worth watching is cartoon network.

[Heathen]

Furrill. Also, I like G4. Since ZDTV. Yes, it has degenerated, but they still stay true in some instances. I would love to have TechTV back, but I like my AOTS and shit like that. Its the goofy shit that I like.

[Terin]

Hulu.com ftw

The internet is MY TV.

Surfthechannel.com

Very well presented.

[DrunkenSamus]

The only thing I liked on History Channel was Wild West Tech and Band of Brothers. Everything else is UFO/Armageddon/Computer generated dogfights/mega disasters.

[Heathen]

I love UFO stuff srsly. Idk why. I think its all bullshit but I love it.

Fail broadcast is fail. Ditto for regular cable. I have ~200-300.

Also, I watch maybe 5 or six channels. My siblings, on the other hand, aren't quite as active as I am, and thus require more channels to prevent boredom. :(

[Random]

No love for mythbusters >.>

They need some new episodes though.

We get 4 channels here for free :downs:

Discovery channel here generally only has new episodes here on after 8:30 or 9:30, otherwise it's just repeats of Dirty Jobs, Deadliest Catch, and a bunch of engineering shows. National Geographic is alright, except for all their "Is it real?" type shows.

[LinkandKvel]

OMAGAWD. We get like 6, but I have cable :) I can still watch Rocko's Modern Life :awesome:

[n00b1n8R]

Why is everyone always so "OMG ROCKO!!"?

It was rubbish. Catdog and Angry Beaver's took it out behind the outhouse and did terrible things to it's anus.

surely your not implying catdog was better than Rocko.

[Bodzilla]

Ice road truckers and deadliest catch and all of those other shows are awesome.

theres nothing quite as awesome as being able to tune into the show at ANY TIME no matter how long it's been running and be brought up to speed by it's constant repetition. :awesome:

Yes.

[Arteen]

Yes, even Catdog was better than Rocko. However, Angry Beavers was great.

[Kalub]

Rocko was kinda lame....

[Mr Buckshot]

Canada's Discovery channel doesn't air Deadliest Catch or Dirty Jobs quite as often as you'd describe (it's still a little too often of course). However, we are constantly plagued with "Canada's Worst Driver" and "Canada's Worst Handyman" on Discovery channel. WTF happened to Mythbusters? That was my favorite show, after those random nature documentaries (which are non-existent now). The current Mythbusters episodes are all re-runs btw, which sucks.

Thank god I have National Geographic HD nowadays...

[blind]

you and me baby aint nothin but mammals so lets do it like they do on the discovery channel

[StankBacon]

Hulu.com ftw



hulu is an awesome website i must say, been watching alot of shit on there lately... finally got to watch firefly as well thanks to hulu :D

[Bastinka]

Isn't planet green that show that shows like beautiful places around the world? If not I'm thinking of something else. Also, Deadliest Catch is pretty interesting to watch on a Rainy Day if you drink some Hot Coacoa and think of them all as pirates searching for booty and finding Giant Golden coins instead of crabs.

Discovery of imagination. :P

Angry Beavers ownd everything though.
but catdog was fuckign weak. It was the beginning of the end for humorous cartoons :(

[Heathen]

I never liked those cartoons. The only cartoon like that I ever watched was....Tom and Jerry. I know its not the same but I never liked anything Nick or Disney. I was then introduced to DBZ when I as about 4-6 and my cartoon fettish took off from there.

Dexter's Lab, 'nuff said.

now we got shit like camp lazlo......

[LlamaMaster]

I'm going off topic, but whatever. Rocket power and rugrats suck. I can't really remember if it was any good, but "ahhhhhhhhhhh, real monsters!" comes to mind as a decent nick show. Oh, and INVADER ZIM FTW. Also, nothing will ever beat toonami back when it was good. To many awesome shows to list.
