An open Letter to the History Channel

Dear History Channel.

I understand that times are tight and that television programs about history are expensive to produce, but Top Gear USA, Really?   Top Gear USA belongs on local community access cable.

Yes, I realize that that off-hour, early morning infomercials such as Light Relief therapy and Bosley Hair Loss Answers bring in revenue.  Yet, you choose to spend that revenue on absolute crap such as Top Gear USA, Only in America with Larry the Cable guy, Ice Road Truckers, Top Shot and Stan Lee’s superheroes.

I’ll give you partial credit for Pawn Stars, American Pickers and American Restoration only because of the minor historical connections that some of the items featured may have.  I can almost forgive Swamp People for “cultural” reasons.  Notice, I said almost.

How bout taking one of your programs to heart…”Save our History”, either that, or change your name to the “Infomercial and bullshit programs channel.”
