Now get off my lawn.

It's like they have YouTube kiddies producing them.

Wow, last night as I was skimming through the listings, I noticed that it was nothing but dog shows on Animal Planet... hour after hour, nothing but dogs. They need more goat shows. :p

Isn't that what OT here at anandTech is for?

Sexually, goats are near instantaneous, one-shot wonders . . . kinda' like most of OT! :p

the same reason that Discovery now sucks, and that 70% of the History channel sucks, on its way to 100%.

sorry jeff but that plot idea is used up, old and moldy. your show wont last

Andrew Zimmer's show on travel channel is awesome.

I basically watch travel channel more then food network now since it seems more about food. Anthony Bourdain's No Reservation is awesome and Andrew Zimmer's bizzare foods show is also good. Even Man Vs Food is entertaining.

Man vs Food guy was just in Portland. In fact it gave me the idea to go to Salvadore Molly's and get me some of those crazy hot habanero fritters. We'll probably go to that place with the two foot wide pancakes some time too.

The only other good show I've watched lately is Morphed (the one about how the whale evolved from a land animal). Of course, it was on National Geographic which explains why it wasn't about dogs and didn't suck.
