General Grant On History Channel

[WillBrink]

The 3 part series from the History Channel started last night and it's quite good. I'm looking forward to part 2 tonight. Grant was an interesting character and this show does not white wash him, but attempts to give a very human and well rounded account of the man and the general and the terrible difficult mission he was given to save the Union.

History Channel has picked up their game the last couple of days.

Can you rename this to make it clear which Grant? Like

'Grant' on History Channel

or

'Grant' about General Grant on History Channel

or something. When I saw this I thought that our Grant had somehow made it onto History Channel, maybe in an interview about some firearms related thing. LOL

Same with me. I fixed it for him.

Dunno, I would not put it past him to have a horse and a sword or two stashed someplace.

Sadly, they'll be back to Gold Rush Pawn Aliens soon enough... this ain't the History Channel of back in Gunny Ermey's day, though they do occasionally do some good mini-series.

Wasn't that good back then either. His show included. I'd go back to the 90s

They have a lot of good programming coming up on Sunday's until after the 4th of July.

I liked History Channel back in the early 2000s when I used to watch "Black Sheep Squadron", "China Beach", etc on it for a couple hours. They had a morning block and an afternoon block (repeat). I think they also had a few other old "war" related programs they were re-running. Then after those blocks they started the special History stuff theat they produced (and it was not all Alien's Pawned my Grandma type stuff -- things like the History behind the stories in famous movies, or events in history deconstructed, etc.

I don't even have any sort of cable programming now and have not watched it in a few years but when I did, it was all stupid stuff a few years ago.

Satellite TV in general has really gone downhill. I have enjoyed the “Grant” miniseries but it will be over tomorrow. They should change the same to the “Reality TV Channel”. Another channel that has gone downhill is the “American Heroes Channel”. One of their favorite re-runs lately is “I (Almost) Got Away With It”. Idiots.
