    You're definitely right about that. It says something bad about the average tv viewer.
    Viewers don't pick what's on TV. They just watch it because it's what's on.

    Were the do entaries any good back then? Or were they flag waving crap like WWII in HD?
    Everyone called it the Hitler Channel when it first started, there was some stuff worth watching for sure but also some fluff. Seemed when they started producing their own content it went a bit downhill

    what i dont get after ww1, why did they allow germany to re arm itself for ww2?
    Everyone knew--it was a period in which the world was trying to survive after the crash of '29 and the onset of the depression. Both Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan were quickly bolstering their armaments and were by the early-to-mid 30's, capable of unleashing their forces on the closest nations to them. It wasn't a well-kept secret and industrial spies of the to-be allies reported back to our government with little fanfare.

    What's "on" is what gets ratings... and what gets rating is what people watch the most.

    Yeah I think that's why i got burnt out on WWII docs. I watched the History Channel religiously back in the day and it was almost non stop WWII.

    Finally watched the first episode. Very disappointing. Instead of historians, most commentary was provided by politicians. It spent maybe 1 1/2 hours on WWI, and an hour of that was how the US saved everyone. Didn't really like how it focused on just the "important" people. Weak , tbh. I'm not even gonna bother finishing the series.

    It's good so far. Can't wait till they get to the part where the German's surrender -- for the second time.
    Germany surrendered in WW1?

    Effectively, given the terms they accepted.
