Animal Channel and The History Channel because of cheap reality programming. Our TV line-up seems to be flooded with formulated Jerry Springer T & A and lets see 'who gets thrown-off of the island', shows. Having that idiot Ted Nugent on the Discovery Channel was a new low for a science based station.

A Ted Nugent story, I was at a concert back in the 1980's and Ted came onto the PA system with a backstage interview. He started talking about being a hunter and blowing away animals for sport. People in the audience began to boo. Being at a concert and the audience giving a quarter of their attention to the announcements for this or that, the question started going around, 'Who is this asshole?'

Poor Ted, a day late and a dollar short just did not get his day in the sun with his God giving gun in hand...
