The History Channel stopped airing "Civil War Journal", one of the last few good programs it had
Even though they stopped making new episodes in the late 90's, History Channel aired episodes at least once a week for the last few years. I taped many of them. I looked forward to this show on Tuesday mornings. Now it seems to have been pulled. Civil War Journal was a nice reminder of the excellent programming that the History Channel USED to provide, before descending into mindless tripe about ice road truckers, documentaries about dung (no, seriously) and silly science fiction. So little of what goes on that station is real history, but is more like sci-fi, nature programming and pop culture crap. There is a place for such kind of programming, of course, but the History Channel does not even do that well.

The only thing in recent weeks good is Battle 360 USS Enterprise

They shouldnt even show that stupid reality show Ice Road F*ckers, or that other one,
