    Having watched Ancient Aliens quite a bit, it still has real historical stuff in there, just interspersed with the question “what if it was aliens? Wouldn’t that be fun?”

    All these newer shows on History do this. They’re trying to make history a bit more appealing to the masses by putting it into different perspectives. Forged in Fire and that Butchery competition show are also on History and they frequently cover real historical facts about weaponry, tactics, people of consequence, butchery techniques, food preparation, etc. All the historical facts relevant to the program.

    And lemme tell you: it sure beats the hell out of the 24/7 WW2 shit that earned the channel the nickname of “The Hitler Channel” when I was growing up.
