I swear that I learn more from Modern Marvels than I ever learned in school.

Modern Marvels and The History channel in general, I love it in HD.

But I did go to school a long time ago, so I was really stoopid back then.

if i had history channel in HD i'd watch it (used to watch it a ton)

but for now it's just discovery channel

You often do learn more when you're interested in the subject, an active interest matters more than any amount of teaching in my experience. If I actually want to learn about it, I can learn more in one day than an entire semester.

I use to watch the History Channel all the time. Unfortunately I don't watch tv as much, but I've been watching a lot more history channel. I'll probably watch history channel and movies for a week straight after surgery. I hate the UFO stuff on history channel...

Yeah, those aren't the best. I also dont like the guy who does the underground stuff on Lost Worlds. He gets a little too excited about basements.

Heh, for some reason I read Marvel Comics.

Since we got a new tv subscription package, I've been watching a lot on National Geographic and the Science channel. Beats the crap out of Discovery (except for their major features).

I learn a lot from History, Military, Science, and Discovery Channel.

wooohooo! film from BOTH world wars in glorious hi def! it's like i'm there....
honestly, the pic quality on History HD is awful. much of their content was shot in SD and the upsampling looks bogus.

back to the point: history, nat. geo., discovery, the learning channel - all good stuff. thank you BBC

The only thing I don't like about MODERN marvels, is that they have to go so deep into the past of that one thing that it takes up more than half the show. I rather watch Build it Bigger on Discovery Channel. It's funny, entertaining, and educational.

I show Modern Marvels, Mythbusters, and several other Discovery Channel, TLC, History Channel shows in class and the students find them informational and entertaining.
