Let's look at how The History Channel has changed.
Modern Marvels: Christmas Tech: To be more honest, if we had a show telling us about how Hitler was actually Jesus, it would represent early History Channel when it was The Hitler Channel but that's beside the point. Modern Marvels feels like classic History Channel. It's boring but informative. First, Christmas trees are awesome. For that matter, we get to learn even more about how people put together their freaking Christmas Displays. I can never get away from this stuff.
The Final segment is on Fruit Cakes. The way that it's mass produced makes me glad I've never had a taste for the stuff. On the bright side, the stuff they're showing only lasts around 6-8 weeks so it's not as bad. Maybe.
Pawn Stars: I could also have watched something about Jesus being an alien but I prefer the obviously staged nature of this show. In this episode, people wear Christmas things and a secret Santa occurs. I will say, the fact that they mainly look at things of a historical nature does work to make it feel like an honest to God History Channel program. Then we get yet another "Chumlee is an idiot" segment and I'm out of it again.
Of course, we get a second episode about a Christmas Party. No one brings in anything of note and they all walk away disappointed. It's pretty painful to be honest and I think I'll stick to Antiques Roadshow for my watching people try to sell stuff, thank you very much!
Notable Commercials: Viagra commercials have next to nothing to do with erectile dysfunction anymore. You could easily think it was any other medication commercial these days.
Non-Viewing Thoughts: I can't even remember the last time I was involved in a Secret Santa. It sounds like it would be fun.
Late
Christmas Ideas:I wouldn't mind going to Vegas someday.
