You would think the Travel Channel would show the classic “Around the World In 80 Days” but....no...

@PeetzPoolBoy , unrelated to this topic but a question for you.

You seem to have had some success identifying posters on these boards. There's been some efforts to determine the whereabouts or fate of @T J, who had over 98,000 posts on these sites, but none since October, 2018. Can you assist?

After seeing another post yesterday, I scoured his posts via the search function coupled with certain keywords ( e.g. live, work, wife, home), but came up empty.

T J ( it took me awhile to remember that there was a space between the two initials) ........ never posted about himself or his life situation. In some respects that is a very admirable form of self-restraint, but it now leaves us all guessing about his current whereabouts. I guess that is what he intended all along.

You want to know what happened to the Travel Channel? Well, I don’t know. But I bet they have somebody on some show they air that can get in touch with a spirit from 2010 to explain the move to their “all ghosts, all the time” programming.

People complain about history channel going to shit all the time. And the answer as to why is simple. Money/viewership. Not enough people watched the documentaries about Hitler to justify the time and effort to make them. Shit like Pawn Stars was so unbelievably easy to make, brings in their best ratings, and I imagine was incredibly cheap before all of the Stars became stars and started bringing big $$$ per episode.

Replace History Channel with Discovery, TLC, and every other channel that used to be "good" and is now full of reality show garbage and it's the same story.

The other piece to the puzzle is that many of the documentaries that History channel used to show were owned by the Smithsonian Institution. Those documentaries now reside on the Smithsonian Channel which launched in 2007. The channel is owned by CBS/Showtime who are typically oddballs when it comes to channel availability, but if you’re looking for that programming you’ll find it there.

I really enjoyed the owner of La Colombe's show, Dangerous Grounds when it was running. I can't seem to find any re-runs anywhere online.

Maybe he meant Trivial Channel?

How many people actually sit at home in the living room on the couch now-a-days and physically "watch" whatever is on TV when they are sitting that isn't live sports? Everything is just played from on Demand or DVR or binge watch from a device from Netflix, Prime, etc...
