    There was a time when I used to respect Discovery channel and the television programming they had. Now just like the "History" channel, MTV and all the other stations, it went to shit, sold out for ratings build on bullshit. The whole fucking internet is going that direction too (Upworthy, Buzzfeed, etc) the world of information is going be be one moronic place in 10 years time.

      I don't get how BS like ancient aliens is on the history channel. Or pawn stars. Or countless other snoozefest shows.

        Pawnstars actually isn't that bad, but the scripting is becoming obvious that it's mostly all fake. Some guy even posted a video on youtube a while back showing that most of their pawn store just sells Pawnstars merchandise such as t-shirts and mugs.

          The thing is, all of these shows are bullshit, its all scripted and made to look legitimate because the writers seem to think that people don't have the attention span for real TV anymore. Literally, all the shows you discover are nothing more than a fictional scripts full of bullshit, nothing is real anymore... its all tainted by the ratings monster.
