kaitouSo at first I thought April Fools came early. But no, it's apparently true. The Discovery Channel is going to pay a million dollars an episode to let Sarah Palin host a show about Alaska. Screw you, Discovery Channel.
I went ahead and wrote to the Discovery Channel. The website is frustrating in and of itself, incredibly slow to load, and it has no location for general comments, or something about upcoming programming. So I ended up putting it down as a comment related to 'The Alaska Experience.' Palin believes in letting Creationism into public schools, and doesn't believe in Global Warming. I don't want her near my educational programming.
I live alone, I don't have a lot of expenses, so I splurged and got the nice big cable package when I moved to St. Marys. I've got Discovery and Science and Nat Geo...History International, BBC America... And I love nonfiction programming. Give me Top Gear, Planet Earth, Walking with Dinosaurs...The Daily Show, Mythbusters, Ancient Discoveries... But I'm getting sick of this constant slide into less and less rigorous programming. At first the History Channel was all Nazis all the time, and then they came up with History International, which was cool. But now History International is all Nazis and the History channel is all Monsters and Nostradamus. And now the Discovery Channel too. >__<
I think it might be time for me to look into Boxee, or AppleTV.
