The Travel Channel has had better historical shows than The History Channel lately, maybe History should buy some of the old ones.

Eg Mysteries at the Museum - kinda funny editing but genuinely I learned SO MUCH History from this show and it really stuck with me. The story about Galloping Gertie and the dog stuck in the car for one.

Or Expedition Unknown, which that guy actually interviewed and nearly went on the Titanic sub. That episode was scrapped for safety concerns (lol) and not really historical, but he's had plenty at old ruins etc.
