Anybody else watching this crap on the History Channel? It's like the Mayan calendar nut cases, the Apocalypse nut bags and every other end of the world wingnut got together and made a series of documentaries. History Channel, what happened to you? I can only get about halfway through these episdoes before I give up.

Wow, I'll have to make sure the SO's mom knows about this one. She's all over the Nostradamus thing (I always piss her off by calling him "Nostra Dumbass")

This was six minutes of vague content stretched......and stretched.....and stretched and then repeated over and over and over....well, you get the idea.

Is that any different than anything on the History Channel. Any historical based movie gets at a min of 3 different shows and they run it for 2 months. In this case 2012.

I tried watching this when it first started but couldn't get through it.

Each episode I watched had such repititious material. They could have done a better job on the one about Nazis for example. There is a lot of material about the occult beliefs of the Nazis but they kept showing the same stuff over and over again. I gave up on this mess.

I must not be as picky as some of you here, I like the show and watch every episode.

I am not usually that picky but with good editing these could be half hour shows and not miss any content.

I haven't watched this specific show, but I watch various shows on the history channel.. fairly sporadically, but sometimes. I thought that the 7 deadly sins show was pretty good.

It's not like the History Channel endorses the wacky theories. It's kind of like "In Search of..." for the new century.
