History Channel / A&E Television Networks vikings

We looked forward to the premier of the Vikings this week as we have been following it since the beginning. It has been showing scenes that have been increasingly violent and sexual but Wednesday night's premier took the cake. The lesbian kiss was one thing, but the oral sex scene was going too far...why-- because by the end of the season you'll no doubt be showing sex scenes with the villiage animals. In years past, we could count on the history channel to air educational programs that children could watch with their family. No more...by the way, Ragnar's character has become a joke...your writers need to do more research. You lost 2 viewers this week. I'm sure there will be more.

History Channel / A&E Television Networks counting cars

A good friend has tried many times by email to have his father's car restored by counting cars. His father served in Vietnam where he was shot down and listed as missing in action. In 1970 to his mother thinking that her son was dead she could not look at the car any longer so she sold it.after her son returned home and after receiving the Congressional medal of honor . They gave up searching for the car. In 2014 his son located the cooler outside of Atlanta Georgia. Couple months later they tried many times to contact Counts Customs in Las Vegas Nevada to have the car restored.I have read the emails that were sent to counts customs where my Friend stated that they were not trying to get over the TV show by your network, all they wanted was to have the car restored for the father. After many attempts by email they never had a response whatsoever. The show has always boasted about how they respected the veterans. If a Congressional medal of honor recipient does not gain respect I cannot understand why at least they meaning my friend has not had any response to their request. My question is why Counts Customs the respect or common courtesy to at least reply to the emails of this American hero.

History Channel / A&E Television Networks commercial

I am appalled, disgusted and disappointed in A&E broadcasting for showing the Distateful Hardee's commercial. I have been a huge fan of this network and TV programming, however after sitting with my 15 and 10 year old sons ( watching a family friendly show) and three half naked females come on I am in shock! Sexual innuendo's, nudity, I mean you could pretty much call it soft porn! It's inappropriate and needs to be removed. I will no longer be watching this network until it's removed!

History Channel / A&E Television Networks shows on american history

Right now I'm watching America the story of us. It referred to our new government as American Democracy.
IT IS NOT! The Declaration of Independence doesn't say that and the constitution definetly doesn't.
In a Democracy the rights of the individual are forfeited for the rights of the majority. That is the opposite of the tenants of the Declaration of Independence. Our government is a constitutional republic! Which insures inalienable rights to the individual. Allowing for individual rights above and beyond any rules that may be imposed by the majority

History Channel / A&E Television Networks billion dollar wreck

Why are you glorifying a convicted murderer by giving him a reality show? Captain Martin Bayerle called his ex-wifes lover outside and put 7 rounds in him without any provocation from Stefano. I am not watching that half a man, murdering, pussy that should still be in jail, become a hero on your network. Kind of stupid to put this murderer on a show, when you could have chosen a real man. What is he gonna do when things dont go his way? Shoot the crew in cold blood too. If he does find all the gold, Stefanos family should sue him for all of it. Too bad for the pussy, one eyed murderer. Get this ### off my television.

History Channel / A&E Television Networks program theme song

Just wanted to say that I love Swamp People. And I'm not even from the south. But to watch these people hunt these animals is impressive. But, I do not like the opening song switch to Born on the Bayou. I get it, but I really think the original is appropriate to the setting. And when the narrator says, "Welcome to the swamp" well, there you have it. Now that's an intro.

Completely (but respectfully) dissagree. I've said it before, but as someone who actually grew up in the boonies, seeing the way they cull their wildlife is absolutly disgusting. Hunters who dont care about an animal's suffering are sociopaths

History Channel / A&E Television Networks programming

The programing that is on the History Channel now stinks. The only day I watch the channel now is Friday. Please tell me what stupid mountain men & mechanics have to do with History. This channel has really become a disappointment, I used to love watching it, but not anymore. Whoever you have finding & putting these programs together need to be fired then find someone who knows what the word HISTORY means. What a failure.

History Channel / A&E Television Networks texas rising

I been enjoying this show Texas Rising. I do however cannot stand the extent of graphic content being shown in this show. I know it's suppose to be a authentic representation of what happened back then and I to upmost extent respect that. However, the showing of children and adorable animals such as pup dogs getting butchered and slayed really upsets me and has killed my taste for the show. I wish they could of done this show without all those depictions because I cannot stand watching stuff to that extreme.

History Channel / A&E Television Networks flash adds

Hey History Channel we are tired of the crap. What happened to good TV programing? I like to watch and listen to the shows content not jumping around all over the screen trying to read flash adds. It's bad enough channels have to remind you what channel you're on with there logo at the bottom of the screen blocking part of what you're trying to watch! I'll be glad when someone comes out with a app to block flash adds on tv programming.

History Channel / A&E Television Networks swamp people

The TV show swamp people abuses innocent alligators for no good reason.I don't think that is acceptable. Shooting alligators for no good reason other than for a show. Since they get payed to do the show they are basically getting payed to kill alligators. I do not think that is acceptable. There is no reason for it. Other than for people that like seeing alligators get shot. There is no reason for it to be on History because it is not historical at all. Just abusive and cruel. Regardless of the sickos that want to watch this junk, I think the show should be cancelled. So I think we need to put an end to this cruel show called Swamp People on History.

History Channel / A&E Television Networks abusing animals isn't funny!

My family and friends have so many complaints about the History Channel's programming, there isn't enough room to list them all . Therefore, I'll go with the latest "LOW" the History Channel (H.C.) has stooped to regarding its decisions.
AMERICANS-LISTEN TO ME- Do you really want to know what the decision makers at the (H.C.) think of you? They think you are ignorant, uneducated, underprivileged, and inferior to them and others in their "class".
They exploit poverty-stricken people by encouraging them to do brainless, irresponsible things for ratings. Why do you ask? Because YOU are watching this garbage. One day while watching a rare show on State history (the real history stories are now a rare event), the channel advertised a few upcoming shows. Each one involved killing innocent animals for fun. One man takes a shot gun out and scatters about the poor animals innards. It doesn't matter whether it's an innocent alligator or family pet who was minding his own business. Until they came along to abuse the was doing just fine.Afterwards, the guy stands there and laughs...that's sick rubbish! That's disgusting s well as the fact that they use who they think is an unenlightened, ill-bred man to do the deed. MESSAGE: HISTORY CHANNEL- you have the power to do better, you have the power to influence vulnerable minds in a positive manner.
I do not need to attach photos just "google" animal abuse/neglect on the history channel and see for yourself.

How can you call yourself the history channel when you never have people of color placed where they should be in history. Every main figure in history did not come from the white race.I love history and its a shame that in the the year 2014 you are still trying to deny people of color their truthful place in world history.Shame on you History Channel.

History Channel / A&E Television Networks story line

So sad to see a TV network that as the movie line says "I coulda been a contender!" possibilities. Watched Pawn Stars pretty regular, but latest story line is awful. Has become "the Chumley Show" Let's show how stupid Chumley is, Let's make fun of Chumley, Lets cuss out Chumley, Let's see Chumley screw something up, Chumleys an Idiot, Chumleys the fool. Chumleys..(enter your plot line here).. Enough for gods sake! It was funny, barely, for a little while. And THE OLD MAN, and his constant cursing, rudeness, and just general "being an ###" IS NOT CUTE ANYMORE..if it ever was. Are the producers ever going to get off the story line that Dirt ball Chumley and Dirt ball Corey only know hip-hop culture, know of no movie, music, tv show that came out before they where in grade school? Chumley looks like he smells bad, Both "the boys" need some serious grooming tips. Consider reading a nerd activity? Corey actually uttered the line once "well I wasn't a reading nerd in school, but I did read THAT book! Producers had Corey completely in the dark about the Chevy Corvair, like he never heard of it or saw one, Never ever watched a Star Wars movie, because it came out before he was born. They write in the story line that both "the boys" have to have "ancient" history explained to them, Like John Wayne, the space program, JFK, Civil Rights movement. like I said..anything before they where in grade school. NOT CUTE! Hip-hop c***? Got it! Idiotic overpriced footwear? Got it! Thug clothing, cars music, movies, bikes, Got It..Dude! Comic books, toys that they played with? GOT IT! Anything their parents or anyone older then them might like or know about...Hunh? never heard of it! In closing.. Tea party people boo-hoo'ed and went into mourning because THAT MUSLIM COMMIE FORIEGNER WITH THE FUNNY NAME AND WEIRD SKIN COLOR got elected and it's the beginning of the end for 'Merica! Nah, Pawn Stars, American pickers, Duck Dynasty, Honey Boo-Boo, Anything on Bravo channel..Now THAT"S the beginning g of the end...Sigh..

History Channel / A&E Television Networks nature calenders

I am a lifetime member of the History Channel Club, and so I receive things in the mail a lot; this is OK. Since last year, I was mailed a "Nature Calender" that costs $14.95, with the option of returning it, and each one thereafter would cost another $14.95. I mailed the calender back, but I DO NOT wish to receive any more of these calenders in the mail unless I request them. It costs me money to return them, and I think it is merely a ploy that the club uses to make money, counting on me not returning it and then owing them the money for it as well as for more calenders.

I dont even think that the people incharge of The History Channell care in any way, BUT im willing to complaint anyways! I am disgusted, pure DISGUSTED that they would allow Chasing Tail as a show, it is ridiculous, cruel and pointless. i dont see the point in killing an animal that has N O chance of fighting back. its not even hunting its ###ing slaughter! and i will not watch any tv channell and promotes and advertises such nonesense. not to mention that all of The History Chanells show's are pathetic as well and it only comforts me to flip the chanell everytime it comes on.

History Channel / A&E Television Networks tv show the vikings

My son and husband were watching the History Channel together the other night. We watch the history channel all the time. We encourage our kids to watch it to learn things. This show comes on called the Vikings. There was a guy & his wife having sex, then another guy comes into the room and the husband asks if he wants to join in! My husband quickly changes the channel. Then another time it was on and they strangled a kid to protect the treasure for the after life. He was choking to death! That my daughter was flipping through the channels and stopped on this channel, and it upset her! She had night mares for 3 days! What kind of crap is this? So now, they are not allowed to watch the History channel in our home or any where else!

Now, this I pretty much agree with. I don't like the explicit sex scenes, either...'can endure somewhat, but it disgusts me. If you want to really be upset about explicit sex scenes, try watching "Shameless"...I love that show, but the sex scenes go way over the top. We don't need to have everything spelled out in detail, comeon!...and most "kids" know more than most of us do...don't kid yourself. If you want to live in a bubble and in denial...don't turn on the television or watch movies. The commercials have gotten unbearable...as this person said, they last longer than the segment, especially on Vikings...they RUIN the series; and if you try to catch the program later, you still have to endure commercials...they don't allow you to fast-forward...When I'm forced to watch commercials...I make a point not to patronize or buy that item.
and back to the "pure family"...our world has changed, prudishness and puritanism will bury you unless you can stay in your unrealistic bubble...good luck!

I don't completely disagree, as I think there is too much explicit sex on Vikings. I don't mind sex scenes, but I do think they should be more discrete and LESS of them. also, this program doesn't come on until 10:00 PM, Thursday ...here in LA, anyway...and I would think kids would be in bed by then...and school...you know? My main complaint is the horrid commercials you have to sit through; the program is disjointed because of it and by the time you've viewed 20 commercials, you've almost forgotten what had just happened before they broke for the 20 commercials. AND, the commercials are lasting longer than the programming...My husband and I are getting tired of the frustration trying to watch this series...and it's a GREAT series...but we can't stand the awful, irritating commercials!
