Mythbusters may have been one of the single greatest programs ever.
I miss Modern Marvels and How It's Made.
Myth busters was one of the shows that signaled the end honestly.
It was a good show but it was a signal that pure educational television no longer worked. Myth Busters was a quasi intellectual show but it rarely followed any scientific method other than “we tried it this way and will extrapolate all results from that”
Great show, lots of entertainment but it was definitely part of the “we need to be flashier and shinier and louder”
Plus all the filler. I love the Streamlined Mythbusters project, but it's absurd how short some episodes get when cut down. Iirc there was one that was cut down to 11 minutes of actual content.
Those were all great.
Also, A&E (Which stands for Arts & Entertainment) used to show opera, ballet and classical music concerts. Maybe it wasn't hugely popular, but my family would watch.
They also aired reruns of Twin Peaks which was pretty rad.
