Okay. So I'm a big fan of TV channels that are educational. PBS is fine, but hook me up to the Food Network, Travel Channel, Discovery Network, History Channel...etc, I'm totally in...However, I am quite saddened to say that there are some channels having an identity crisis. The Food Network has stayed the course on all things food...but the Travel Channel is fairly certain that it's the Food Network. The Travel Channel has marathons of three shows regularly...and by regularly I mean almost exclusively...Man vs. Food, Bizzare Foods with Andrew Zimmerman, and No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain. All three are shows about food. Now, I'm not opposed to the travel channel having a show or two about eating in other countries, but its hard to flip on that show and find something other than worldly foods to watch. I was so excited when I fell asleep watching an informative show about Austria the other night. I mean seriously! Austria is awesome! I'm lovin it those kind of shows, just a little tour of an awesome area, a viewing of the sites, travel tips and a bit of culture.
The History Channel seems to think it can run shows that have anything that's NOT historical...what? How does that makes sense?
The Discovery Chennel is doing good. I like what they have on.
Anyways, that's my current rant. Mind thy name channels!!!
