The History Channel can get quite stale, they have a lot of repeats and regurgitated programs. Personally, I think the Discovery/Science/National Geographic channels are better.

I'd have to say Discovery is the better channel, all i really like watching History for is the show 'MasterMinds'.

Discovery, even though I haven't seen it in a while. Not much of a history man here.

History Channel, though it definitely goes overboard with WWII.

Definitely the Discovery Channel. I think it's a lot more interesting than watching TV shows like "Growing up Amish"

Yeah, the first time I saw him he was doing something called the 7 Deadly Venoms where he tracked down the 7 most deadly snakes in Africa. He got bit by three of them and had to be hospitalized each time. Now that's compelling television.

History Channel, although they show many shows that deal with the Nazis, there is much more to history than that.

I like History Channel - International as it has more variety, along with the Science Channel.

thats the main problem, the History Channel doesn't focus on the interaction between Mammals like the Discovery Channel does.
