That and the fact that I thought they showed way too many shows that I would not consider "history". ("Ice Road Truckers" and "UFO Hunters" to name but two).</p>
<p>What I found HC useful for was piquing interest in a topic. They also had some good shows about the American Presidents and the kids loved the shows in "10 Days that Changed America".</p>
<p>We don't get the History Channel any more, but I do occasionally get the DVDs from the library.</p>
<p>You are so right that "history needs to be taught using many sources".</p>
