Anybody hear of this?

Jobu88,

Regarding the MC, I think as they realized that they couldn't keep just replaying the same old documentaries (many of which were decent, some of which were quite good) and had to make new ones, the quality dropped quick. Now they shovel out mostly superficial drivel with the same old archival footage included in every other doc, and prop up the hour with about 20+ minutes of commercials.

I also like the 1-2 minutes of recap of the preceding 10 minutes that they feel is necessary after every commercial break to fill out time. Although considering the length of some of those commercial blocks, it's not the worst feature. :rolleyes:

And it's not just the MC channel either. The other Discovery channels, The History Channel (probably the worst offender), Natural Geographic and the rest are just as bad. Most of that programming has gone from Must See to background chatter for me, unfortunately.
