This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I switched channels to the history channel so my daughter could get some education value in her TV watching and they had on a show called 'Swamp People', which was a bunch of guys holding up a gun going to shoot an alligator. They were showing the point on the alligator where it was best to shoot them. What on earth does that have to do with History? My daughter was upset. Watching a bunch of red necks shooting animals is not History and this reflects the reason why this country is turning into a bunch of gun totting, uneducated people destroying our environment. Shame on you History Channel.

While I don't think that the depiction of violence on the history channel is necessarily a bad thing, the channel has gone down the tubes a bit with its programming. Where are the actual documentaries? The programming is full of shows like swamp people, ice truckers, ancient alien conspiracy theorists, UFO sensationalism, ghost and paranormal tripe. I have really given up on the History channel, and instead watch History International, since they seem to have shifted a lot of their decent programming to that channel, and have filled their original channel with the kind of junk the poster described.

if the history channel actually read this, look at the red neck pieces of low life ### you are attracting to this channel.
swamp people is a glorified sick show that only emphasises how ###ed in the head these people are.
Its not interesting, its not educational, and anyone who watches this has an extremely low, if any moral thought in there body.

I didn't realize that you are unable to change the channel, and that The History Channel controls your TV set...

Six was well made second season picked up and had a great ending. MUST bring back it was a fast paced show actors true to their part. History Chanel's SIX is worth saving and bringing back so people can see what goes into defending our freedoms. The books are excellent
Please reconsider and Bring it back!

Why have you canceled one of the best shows on tv? It's a clean wholesome show, with a great cast and great ratings, and you choose to cancel it. Please give me a good reason why. Because I can't think of one, and I am sure millions of other viewers can't either. So please put one of the best shows on tv back on tv.
Thank you

I have not received any magazines, or nothing after you changed the magazine to Warrior. Now I hear the club folded and I just out of luck. No refund, no magazines, no benefits. What is the word on this from you ? I would like a refund from you and your company, this is dishonest.

The show had many followers but you dangled season 5 for 2018 and then left us hanging. Could you at least make a statement about whether it is going to air or not. If so, when. If not why. I've searched on-line and I can't find a word.

I paid over $350.00 for charter lifetime membership. I did recieve the gift items and magazine for a few years. Where can we file a lawsuit against the History Channel? No website and no magazine or any of the other benefits.

We need to unite all the members and file a joint action lawsuit.

Help!

I enjoy your programming. Your logo, in full-color and full Rez, supered big and bold the entire duration of programming, diminishes that enjoyment. In short, it's annoying as hell.

Since when do you need a narrator explaining what we are watching? It's stupidity.
"They shake hands." "Driving in traffic on the Strip."
You are ruining the viewing pleasure by adding unneeded and irrelevant chatter.
It's annoying and detracts from the show(s).

I have made several complaints about the history channel app suddenly going off the tv's in my house with FireStick. I can access the app just fine on my smartphone. I have yet to hear how, when or what is being done about it. I have followed History Channel for years and can't believe the no responsiveness!

Every week the show Mountain Men plays on Thursday at nine pm. It takes far too long for the episode to be loaded to Google play. I have complained so many times but it only helps for one or two weeks. I'm just so sick of it!

How can a called History channel not have not even one story or review about Memorial Day and the past ? This company pretends that they show history but decides to show a marathon of American Pickers .Bad enough they always throw in the concentration camps during black history month, but this is a joke!

There's many things to complain about: Incessant showings of Reality Show Drivel to Hitler. But I want to know if History Channel is going for some television record by showing that M1 Abrams blurb (narrated by R Lee) endlessly for at least 10 years?

I am a LIFE TIME MEMBER and the magazine suddenly changed to Warrior in Nov 2015 then last January (2016) it stopped completely; no response to inquiries then received a $60.00 bill from Warrior. I sent a note back asking why and never heard anything again ! ! !

I have not been getting my lifetime subscription and have not been given an notice of stoppage. If this lifetime subscription that I paid for is no longer available, I should have a refund of my lifetime membership.

That zombie commercial for LG is highly inappropriate for viewing by the general public. Children, guys arm falling off, mid day?
You must realize it's disgusting & I change the channel immediately when I see it!

What does Pawn Stars and all of these other crap reality shows have to do with history? Why don't you just change the name of your network to the Garbage Channel? You used to show interesting historical programs. Now you are nothing but another reality station. It's a shame that you have lowered yourselves to the lowest common denominator.

I would like to complain about the programme we have just watched on Thursday 2/11/18 re a blade competition and where the competitors knives had to cut a goats carcass in two. I found this so offensive and unnecessary, quite shameful! Please up your game for entertainment without the shock factor or change your job!

Why is it even called the "history" channel? History 2 was even OK (reruns mostly)...but now that's gone. There is currently nothing on that I care to watch. 99% of the shows are reality...so change the name!

You people really need to bring back H2, I have lost about half of my programming thanks to your little change to Viceland. I am so disappointed with your company right now I barely watch any of your channels and History is a disgrace as well. How many more complaints until you actually listen?

I am totally disgusted with your decision to install the debauched violence that you call viceland. I am going to do all that I can to get you removed from my cable company's offerings.
What a great disappointment you have become.
