I'm not anti-gun or anything but a show about them is just boring IMO, what's next a reality show based on plumbing?..

Back in my day...TLC had educational shows too, before Toddlers in Tiaras. 😉

All the science stuff has been pushed to Discovery World HD, so thankfully it's still there. Sadly, reality tv is cheaper to produce and attracts the masses more than docs do.

I just noticed that I have a Discovery Science channel...in non-HD. When are we going to get ALL HD channels, instead of this piecemeal shit? I even paid for the "HD package" from FIOS, and I still don't get all my channels in HD.

The one and only show I liked was Deadliest catch and it was/is good, the bad part is that it spawned a lot of mediocre clones, what's next, "Ice road swamp loggers", LOL..

Actually it appears to be 'Harvest', aka bunch of guys in tractors harvesting grain, sometimes running for emphasis, and a small fire for some more excitement! 😵

Oh, OK, I thought it would be "Elbows", a plumbing-based reality show..

In "Hairy Bikers," premiering Friday, October 14 at 10pm ET on History, Paul and Bill embark on an amusing and informative road trip along back roads to immerse themselves in local American history and long-standing traditions. But they don't just cook and eat with the locals—they do everything it takes to put the meal on the table. They spear bullfrogs, trawl for shrimp and capture gators with a cross bow; they clean road kill, harvest wheat for beer, and track down wild boars.
 
I was surprised to find the first post wasn't a daughter vs. daughter thread between American Gunner and Sons of Guns.
Do you have to be 18 to sell guns?

And I like Deadliest Catch, not as much since Phil died though. The only other one I like is Swamp Loggers. Seems pretty legit.

Disturbing how these weapons of death, murder, and mayhem are being glorified. This is why the murder rate is so high in the U.S. People glorify it.

Lol.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate

talk out of your ass much?

I would put it to you that our homicide rate is as high as it is because of our wealth. We're probably the largest consumer of narcotics in the Western hemisphere. The geographic mapping of the murder rates bears this out when you consider that most of the drugs come into our country from Central and south America. You'll see the murder rates are highest in the south of our country, where the drugs are.

Despite all that, we're still pretty low on the intentional homicides list of countries.

Close I think, but this loops in a few more shows so lets try this one on for size. I have already sent an email to discovery to pitch it via their automated reality show processing system:
