As a kid I use to LOVE Animal Planet and Discovery Channel. I mean I was obsessed with those shows. To this date I have seen every single documentary style show on dinosaurs or Ice Age animals and I use to obsess over shows about snakes and crocodiles. On my weekends I use to sit and watch Steve Irwin and Jeff Corwin talk about all sorts of really awesome snakes, lizards, amphibians, and mammals. When Steve Irwin died I was still rather young and I cried for a whole day (which contrasted with my parents who were much more upset about the recent passing of Michael Jackson).
Now the shows that are on these channels disgust me. Everything from Ice Road Truckers and Rattlesnake Republic and whatever other crap they're showing anymore. They've all started showing 24/7 reality TV garbage because that's what sells I guess :/ it's not like I understand though because I can't stand watching those programs. I just want the old channels back. And I want to see the end to all of these unscientific scare-tactic dramatized programs that neither educate or entertain me.
