:funny: Less than one second into the trailer and it was obvious why Merkin TV is shit . Watch the BBC or Channel 4 programs about Little Boots to see the difference .

It's never a good sign when the producers fill the background with Muzak to create an atmosphere of dread and drama in a documentary. Pulls it down to the level of that movie with the giant mechanical shark, the title of which escapes me now, possibly because I've only ever seen the ads for it.

Edit: I googled. Its called Jaws, and it looks like quite a few of shark-horror movies were made.

Caligula was the nickname he was given when he was barely past toddlerdom, and it stuck. Everybody knew him by this name then, and whoever is aware of him today knows him by the same name. Are you trying to create a problem out of nothing? Would it make much difference if future generations discussed the Iron Lady rather than Margaret Hilda Thatcher?

Not at all. That part of the name evokes Goethe, Bach, Beethoven, Roentgen, Einstein, Brandt, Brecht, Copernicus, Marx, Engels, Weber, Leibniz, Schiller, Gauss, Cantor, Riemann, Hilbert, Noether, Kepler, Böll, Mann, Hesse, Remarque, Humboldt...

Ugh.... again with the American stuff sucks, go with the _______ in some other country bullshit.

Dude - we have hundreds of different television channels. You have the BBC, which is one of your channels. Maybe it's awesome, or some of it is awesome. But, in the US, have many many channels that have great history shows. The History Channel took a nosedive, 'tis true. But, we have History International, Military History Channel, American Heroes Channel, Discovery Channel, Science Channel, multiple PBS channels, National Geographic channel, and many more with great programming.

It's like all going on about beer and cheese, ffs. Yes, we have bland Bud-Light and American Pasteurized Processed Cheese - sure. We have shit like that. But, we also have 100's of breweries brewing excellent beer in a wide variety (Sam Adams, Yuengling, Deschutes Brewery, Sculpin, Sierra Nevada, Blue Moon...and the list goes on and on), and we have Wisconsin cheddar and other cheeses which are among the best of their varieties in the world.

FFS with this Merkin such and such is shit....

I saw a documentary on one of these American history channels recently. It followed a historian who proved that Hitler went to South America after World War II....

No. It was supposed to prove that Hitler didn't die in Berlin but fled to South America and had a peaceful death in the sixties surrounded by family.

The History channel goes in for a lot of pop-culture-history stuff these days. You'll see them featuring Erich von Danikan and all the "It was aliens" guys showing how they think ancient aliens helped build the pyramids.I saw that show about Hitler escaping to south America -- it was a rather thin on "proof." However, lots of Nazis did go to South America after the war, and so it's got that kernel of plausibility built in. Proof, however, is a bit of an overstatement.
