The Discovery Channel and "The Learning Channel" and a couple others are owned by the same folks...whose new headquarters is just 15 minutes from me...I have actively considered putting on a suit and showing up at their front door and asking for the "vice-president in charge of inane balderdash" Anyone want me to deliver a "special" note? *grin*

They (the conglomerate) still DO have an occasional program of interest, but usually they run these on the same night on competing channels. On most other nights we get "environmental horror" (volcanos, tidal waves, earthquakes, meteors) narrated in sonorous tones designed to make us pull the blankets over our heads and suck our thumbs!) Or "morbid crime stories"...every serial killer in 40 years has been done & RE-done!
Or maybe..people sneaking in and re-decorating each other's houses...with eccentricities of color that would cause Dali to spin in his grave!

And they are planning MORE "grouchy guys yelling at each other and pounding metal into fast toys" programs...hot rods, and one MORE motorcycle show.

I tell ya', it ain't restful!
