Vikings is pretty decent. Not history per say, but it keeps me tuning in every week.

[AFMUG] OT - TV documentary review
History Channel has produced a lot of bad programs lately, but today I saw a documentary titled "World War II From Space" that is worth watching. I think it was made in 2012 in the UK, and it's not actually from space. But it's produced in a way that will hold the attention of a generation raised on video games and CGI movies. Fast paced with good commentary and graphics. Obviously in 90 minutes you're not going to cover every detail, but I highly recommend it as an overview for people young enough to maybe not realize the enormity of that conflict and how it continues to influence events today. I am a baby boomer, my dad fought in that war, and yet I found it pretty riveting with some "holy crap" moments. Sorry, I realize this is OT, but it's unusual to see something on old fashioned "linear TV" worth recommending, especially since Sunday is such a TV wasteland except for sports.
