Rediscovering the Discovery Channel (and its sister, the History Channel)

My television basically never leaves the Discovery channel, and "The Deadliest Catch" is probably one of my favorite programs. It's amazing to watch men risk their lives and work so hard.
I love that commercial you brought up also, it's a very catchy song!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one one who LOVES that "boom-de-ah-dah" spot! At first I couldn't figure out why my TV was singing Girl Scouts songs and then I listened to the lyrics and loved it veen more!

No lie. Whenever I'm channel surfing and I run across a Deadliest Catch rerun, I always have to stop and watch.

Hi Gael, so happy to see Test Pattern is back! I have to admit, I am loving those shows, too. My 3 yr old daughter sings the entire "I Love..." song every time it comes on, and often rewinds the TiVo to watch it over and over.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that watches these channels when they are completely out of my demographic. I love the ad and even better, you can download the mp3 at discovery.com. Now it makes me happy anytime I want!

"Ax Men" is great. We record it every week and watch it with my parents on Wednesday nights when we join them for dinner. It's a lot of fun to watch, mostly because these guys are crazy for what they do.

I love that Test Pattern is back! And I love the Discovery Channel. Mythbusters and Dirty Jobs are two shows my husband and I always watch. And that mp3 will be on my iPod shortly.

We were in Denmark recently and saw a reality program like survivor on Danish or Norwegian TV where the contestants were in a cold climate on a farm in northern Norway or Iceland. We saw the very last episode where a girl won the 1 million kroner. So there are survivor type reality shows in the cold weather. I guess Scandanavians are used to it. We froze our butts off at Tivoli.

I thought I was crazy, my son and I love this spot and have recorded it so we can watch it over and over. It does make you smile.

I love, love, love the History Channel & the Discovery Channel (and its spin-offs). There is always something on that I find fascinating. One thing that bugs me though - my fave of the bunch was probably Discovery Times (the Discovery Channel & NY Times partnership), but it no longer exists. That channel is now called Discovery Investigates or somthing - not at all what I loved.
Also, there's the new History Channel International, but it doesn't seem that Time Warner Cable carries it.... major bummer.

Hey, Gael. Good to have you back. I just noticed today that you were back.

I am also a huge fan of Discovery and History channels. I am an addict of Deadliest Catch and Dirty Jobs. A couple other shows that I like include Cash Cab and It Takes A Thief.

I normally ABHOR commercials and mute the TV or change channels when one comes on. However, that Discover promo spot is so well done with a great song. The first time that I paid attention to it, I was surprised to see Mike Rowe and some of the 'stars' of the other shows and how they had changed the words.

In another station, but along the same lines, I enjoy watching 'Ghost Hunters' on the SciFi channel. Some of their encounters have creeped me out.

Love the Discovery ad and sing along with it every time it comes on. Since I've been out of work, I watch a lot of Discovery channel and Deadliest Catch is probably my favorite. We lived in Alaska for 3 years and it makes us miss it. I like watching people do things I could never ever do. Dirty Jobs and Man vs. Wild are also favorites in the same way.

I love Dirty Jobs and the Deadliest Catch...mostly because of Mike Rowe. He's a hottie. I try to always have my television on the Discovery Channel or the History Channel. P.S. I too love that commercial.

Cute tune and anyone who watches the Discovery Channel will get a chuckle from that one. I'll be singing that chorus all day now.

My favorite is the Marine Corps silent drill team in cities across the United States commercial.

Here's why Survivor always takes place in warmer climes: Contestants wear far fewer clothes, can get wet without fear of hypothermia, and have greater access to exotic fauna for meals. Twenty parka-wrapped people chewing on tundra does not a blockbuster make.
