History is quickly sliding into series featuring Bozo', idiots, half rate comedians and little history.

WTF is Historical about guys driving trucks, stuffing dead animals, killing alligators in a swamp or some loony stretching facts out of shape to fit some myth about Aliens? A recent program was so stupid it made most of the theories look sane. The guy was putting forward that the Aliens, who were capable of flying across the Universe, needed a line of stones to guide them once they got to the Earth.

I kid you not.

Then we get the personality led programs. Pawn Stars, Storage wars, American Pickers, Mud Men, 80% dribble and 20% history and sometimes some clowning about.

As for the series "Only in America" Yes this is spot on. Only in America would a company produce such dribble and find an audience.

Thankfully for the other History channel and Nat Geo.
