Overall, channels like history, the learning channel, and science channel have gone to shit. They now show so many stupid reality shows. What a shame they jumped on the band wagon. Have to keep the ratings up, i guess.

Lol it's ironic you may think it is. Fact is even most of their history stuff is mostly nonsense. The only thing they're good at getting right is WW2 stuff and interest in that is dropping like flies.

YES!
They need to go back to shows like Historys Mysteries, Battlefield Detectives, and History vs. Hollywood. Not this Pawn Stars and Cajun garbage.

I watched Vikings after the Walking Dead because I was curious. It seems promising so far. The Bible started after and I changed the channel. I've been around long enough to have seen too many versions of it.

The first 2 episodes of Vikings can be seen on hulu:

History Channel Blessed with Another Ratings Hit in ‘The Bible’
History Channel’s miniseries “The Bible” premiered to heavenly ratings, delivering 13.1 million viewers (and 4.6 million in the key Adults 18-49 demo) for its debut on Sunday night.
It also reigned as the #1 show of the night across the board, easily beating the broadcast networks, and now marks the #1 cable entertainment telecast of the year to date. The total viewership increases to 14.8 million for the night when you add in the repeat airing.
Those kind of numbers put it in league with History’s previous surprise ratings smash “Hatfields & McCoys,” which drew 13.9 million viewers for its premiere last summer. Pulling in nearly double the audience of the broadcast shows, “The Bible” thumped Trump — Sunday’s “All-Star Celebrity Apprentice” (also produced by Burnett, by the way) season premiere drew just 5.2 million viewers, while ABC’s promo’d-to-death debut of “Red Widow” had 7.1 million viewers. Meanwhile, History’s first-ever scripted series, “Vikings,” which also premiered Sunday night, pulled in 6.2 million viewers (and 8.2 million for the night).
“Clearly, the passion for this project has resonated with our viewers and across the nation,” said Nancy Dubuc, President, Entertainment and Media, A+E Networks. “We are thrilled, and the story is only just beginning.”
“The Bible” comes from executive producers Mark Burnett (“Survivor,” “The Voice”) and his TV actress wife Roma Downey (“Touched by an Angel”), who also stars as Mother Mary, along with Portuguese TV star Diogo Morgado as Jesus.
“We could not be more thrilled with this out of the gate success of THE BIBLE on HISTORY,” added Downey and Burnett in a statement. “The world is watching right now and we are incredibly humbled by the reaction to the series.”
This re-telling of the stories from “The Bible” reveals new insights into these iconic characters and will feature some of the most famous stories ever written from Noah’s Ark and the Exodus to Daniel in the Lion’s Den to the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, according to the press release.
The miniseries will air four more installments every Sunday, concluding on Easter Sunday, March 31.

The third episode of Vikings can be seen on Hulu now before it airs Sunday.

Hahaha! Yes! Brother Arce! And this is the reason I wont watch this blasphemous, fraudulent garbage. It's not historically accurate!
That's all I have to say about that.

YES!

It's only gonna get worse... The more people who are interested in real history, the more the Hierarchy will rewrite it with shows on the so called History channel. The History channel was great at one time. They drew people in and then pulled the sheets over their heads with shows listed above. The shit is totally out of control.

History IQ was really cool. Kind of like Jeopardy.

History’s ‘Vikings’ Renewed for Season 2
The History Channel’s first gamble on a scripted series was a worthy adventure.
“Vikings” has been renewed for a second season of 10 episodes, the network announced Friday. Production on Season 2 is slated to begin this summer and will air in 2014.
The series is based on the legend of Viking Ragnar Lothbrook (Travis Fimmel) and co-stars Gabriel Byrne, Jessalyn Gilsig and Katheryn Winnick. “Vikings” has averaged five million total viewers in its time slot on Sunday nights, with four more new episodes left before the first-season finale airs on Sunday, April 28.
“Vikings is a win-win for us. As our first scripted series, ‘Vikings’ has paid off in a big way with critical acclaim, strong ratings and a passionate, loyal fan base. It came out of the gate strong and has stayed on top, solidifying History as a major player in the scripted genre, just as we are in reality,” said executive vice president of development and programming Dirk Hoogstra in a statement.
“Vikings” airs Sundays at 10/9c on History Channel.

'Vikings' Enlists 'Hunger Games,' 'Law & Order' Actors for Season 2 (Exclusive)
The drama has tapped The Hunger Games' Alexander Ludwig and Law & Order's Linus Roache as series regulars, The Hollywood Reporter has learned exclusively.

Roache, whose credits include more than 60 episodes of NBC's flagship Law & Order series as ADA Michael Cutter, will play Ecbert, King of Wessex. The character is described as a being full of strength, knowledge and undisguised ambition.

Ludwig, whose résumé also includes Race to Witch Mountain and The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising, is represented by ICM Partners, Untitled Entertainment and Hansen Jacobson.

http://herocomplex.latimes.com/tv/comic-con-vikings-will-land-with-stars-free-comic-boat-races/#/0
Comic-Con International attendees are in for better treatment than the monks of Lindisfarne, however: Costumed shieldmaidens will beckon them to board miniature Norse-styled ships, grab a paddle and race on the “Vikings” Interactive Waterway close to the convention center, and fans who turn up at the hit History show’s Friday night panel will receive a free comic book.
Hero Complex readers can take the first look at the comic’s cover, which shows the bold, bright Ragnar, his fierce, loving wife Lagertha, his envious, scheming brother Rollo and the all-father, Odin. (See a larger version of the cover here.)
The story is written by show creator Michael Hirst and features interior artwork by Dennis Calero (“X-Men Noir”). It’s set before the events of Season 1 and sees Ragnar and Rollo alongside their father in battle, along with the brothers’ first encounter with Lagertha.
If the show’s WonderCon panel in March was any indication, the “Vikings” Comic-Con hour could be a feisty one: Though his character worships Odin and Thor, star Travis Fimmel seemed more in league with Loki, mischievously joking about a risque scene involving his Ragnar, Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick) and their captured monk Athelstan (George Blagden). Audience members intermittently roared “Ragnar!”
Fimmel, Winnick and Blagden are all scheduled to appear in San Diego and are set to be joined by Hirst, Clive Standen (Rollo), Gustaf Skarsgard (Floki), Jessalyn Gilsig (Siggy) and History executive Dirk Hoogstra.
The “Vikings” panel will take place on Friday, July 19, at 6 p.m. in the San Diego Convention Center’s Room 6A.
One thing to watch for: whether Skarsgard’s reactions are as eccentric as Floki’s.
The cast is also scheduled to appear at the “Vikings” Interactive Waterway from 11 a.m. to noon on the 19th. The attraction, which also has a photo area, runs 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. from Thursday, July 18, to Saturday, July 20. It will be located at 450 Second Ave.
“Vikings” was the second-most-watched cable program in the second quarter, with a viewership of 5.2 million per episode, according to Nielsen, our sister blog Company Town reported.
In her review, Times television critic Mary McNamara called the show “the tried and true story of an open-minded upstart challenging the corrupt establishment” and said that it is “a mostly noble attempt to humanize a group of people who have been reduced to the fact of their stature (tall) and their propensity for barbarism.”
It returns for Season 2 next year.

As for the Bible since the ratings mean money suddenly NBC wants to air what comes next:
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/nbc-snags-mark-burnetts-bible-578021
NBC Snags Mark Burnett's 'Bible' Follow-Up Series
A.D.: Beyond the Bible continues NBC's valuable relationship with Burnett, who executive produces The Voice. It also marks the first project under NBC's new long-form programming initiative following former ABC long-form executive Quinn Taylor's move to the Peacock network as executive vp movies, miniseries and international co-productions in mid-June.
A.D.: Beyond the Bible, from Burnett and wife Roma Downey, begins in the days after Jesus' betrayal and death. With NBC partnering to bring the follow-up to broadcast, the network is hoping to duplicate the success History Channel had with The Bible. The 10-parter debuted to 13.1 million viewers March 3, before wrapping up Easter Sunday with 11.7 million.
Since its release on DVD and Blu-ray in April, The Bible has become the top-selling miniseries of all time, having sold more than 1 million units in the past three months.
In April during NBCUniversal summer press day, Burnett hinted to The Hollywood Reporter that a follow-up project was already in the works, with the stories falling "in the same world." "We feel there is a void, and we're filling that void," he said at the time.
History opted to move on from the follow-up project, instead putting its focus on original miniseries already on its slate, like Houdini with Adrien Brody.
“NBC is thrilled to bring this highly anticipated sequel to Mark and Roma’s The Bible to network television,” said Jennifer Salke, president of NBC Entertainment. “There was huge interest in this project within the television community, and NBC is gratified by Mark’s confidence in our ability to partner with him and position this miniseries as true event television.“
“I followed the development process of The Bible closely with Mark and knew that the story was far from over after Christ’s crucifixion. In fact, what happened in the aftermath -- which is essentially the beginning of Christianity -- is utterly fascinating," said Bob Greenblatt, chairman of NBC Entertainment. "The day after The Bible premiered, I told Mark we were on board with no hesitation for the follow-up miniseries. This will be attention-getting in every way, and we’re proud to continue our association with Mark, which has just grown exponentially from The Voice.”
“We are thrilled to be working with Bob, Jen and Quinn Taylor to bring the follow-up to our hit cable series The Bible to broadcast television with NBC," said Burnett and Downey in a joint statement "Our new series, A.D.: Beyond the Bible, is another massive project and a major commitment, but it’s a story that has to be told. It’s a story that changed the world. We look forward to making this an enormous television event on NBC."
A.D. Beyond the Bible will be executive produced by Downey, Burnett and Richard Bedser. It is a co-production between Downey's and Burnett's LightWorkers Media, Hearst Productions and Universal Television. (Hearst Corporation owns 50 percent of A&E Networks — consisting of networks like History, Lifetime and A&E — and has a 50 percent stake in Mark Burnett Productions.)
There has been renewed interest in long-form programming, with networks adding a growing number of limited series to their respective slates (Fox's 24: Live Another Day and Cosmos, FX's Fargo, ABC's How to Survive a Plague, to name a few).
Religion-based programming, both on the scripted and unscripted side, is attracting viewers -- especially on cable. The success of The Bible has proven that there is a demand for such faith-based series. "We knew the subject area [was of interest to] our viewers and beyond," History executive vp development and programming Dirk Hoogstra told THR earlier this year.

Vikings is the only thing worth watching on the regular History channel these days.
They need to make an ancient history channel.
