The History Channel transformed into The Conspiracy Theory Chanel so gradually, I barely noticed

May 18, 2012 By Kathy Shaidle

Actually, I didn’t notice at all, because the (American) History Channel isn’t available in Canada.

We used to be really bummed about this, because we’d occasionally hear of some actually fascinating (to my husband) sounding shows about tanks.

Chris Queen tries to explain how the “Hitler Channel” devolved into the “I’ve Got A Really Horrible Job Channel,” with a side order of alien autopsies, hosted by that ubiquitous “I’m trying to look like my hero Nostradamus” Guy.
