2. The History Channel is sadly misnamed.

I know many suffer from a form of ADD, i.e. no "razzle dazzle" equals "boring." I did like the miniseries "America: The Story of Us," but I was a little confused as to why historians or scientists weren't speaking. Don't get me wrong, I loved some of the guests, but it was more "fluff" than substance.

There are so many wonderful topics in history, including...gasp...non-American topics. Since I majored in languages and linguistics, I learned much history of various cultures and the history of various languages. I know it is about ratings, even for cable channels, but it really would be nice to have a "visual history classroom" on TV.
