Yep, this is basically what TLC, Discovery and History have reduced themselves to. Sadly it's also infected some of the surface tissues of the Science channels. I'm afraid network decay is terminal... The very moment someone thinks a show where a bunch of morons try to catch fish with their bare hands counts as "education" is the moment when a channel is dead. Even Animal Planet has been infected. They've got a show where hunters fish up crocs. Steve Irwin would death roll in his grave if he saw that.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
