Regardless of being able to channel switch, this new channel is motherfucking BS. I was super pissed when they started having commercials about it in February, and they said how "Your favorite H2 programs will be on History". Well so far History has stayed History. They have too many reality type shows. I didn't even mind H2's more outlandish shows like "Ancient Aliens" (which started out not so zany), "Monster Quest", and "Hangar 1". They had a lot of repeats of cool shows about the Presidents, or different wars, or Benjamin Franklin, the mafia, drugs, etc. Plus informative shows like "The States" or "How the States Got Their Shapes".
Plus other ones I liked and found interesting, shows like "Brad Meltzer's Decoded" and "Lost History with Brad Meltzer", "The United Stuff of America", "America's Secret Slang", "American Book of Secrets". A lot of those shows had really cool anecdotes that helped get a different view of how some historical things occurred. Had those other ones like, "101 Gadgets that Changed the World" or "101 Weapons...." or "101 Fast Foods...."
If it wasn't one of those shows then it was stuff like "Modern Marvels", "The Universe", "Life After People".
There's others I'm forgetting. They show some of those on History now, but they've always showed some on History now and then. History 2, H2, used to be comprised almost solely of these shows and it was a channel I could almost always put on as either background or something to get interested in for a bit.
