Archie Sweeney is one of a dozen veterans featured in "WWII in HD," a 10-hour series that tells the story of the war using 3,000 hours of rare, color footage unearthed from archives and private collections all over the world. The History channel restored much of the footage - some of which has never been seen before - and converted it to high definition.

The series follows the experiences of Sweeney and 11 other Americans throughout the war using letters, memoirs and interviews with their family members.

Larry Miller, a researcher from the History channel who summered in the Adirondacks and has written books about the region, has been working with Sweeney's relatives since February. He said Sweeney was actually the last one to be included in the series.]quote]

Fuck 'em both.

10 years ago, they were good.


Years ago, History Channel actually did shows about real history - and Discovery actually had shows with science content in them.
Shocking and antiquated as the concepts may now seem.

Now, it seems like every other show is some tinfoil hat conspiracy nutcase show.

Read this in Mike Rowe's voice, as a commercial on Discovery channel;
According to Nostradamus, the Aztec Calender, clues in the latest Dan Brown novel, numerical codes in the Bible, and reading the entrails from neighbor Bob's poodle Fluffy (sorry Bob), the world will end in 2012.  A special presentation from the Discovery Channel. Coming up NEXT!! after Ghost Lab: Michael Jackson's Mansion

Iknorite. Some gorry stuff though. They showed some soldiers looking down and the camera panned to what they were looking at.. a charred body with no limbs.

Gary Sinise is doing an excellent job.

I also enjoyed the WWI in colour. That was quite good too.

National Geographic ftw.

I do love the History channel though, my mates always slag me for watching their cool documentaries. It makes me sad.

I do enjoy the odd How it's made/how do they do it/Deadliest catch on discovery though.

History, apart from the Nostradamus crap every week or so, most of the shows are good, Modern Marvels FTW (maybe that's just the engineer in me)

History Channel. The only 2 awsome shows on Discovery is Mythbusters and Ultimate Survival.
Rest of them is either about fishing or some other shit that is on all the day.

I don't know that Hulu is available anywhere but the U.S. to be honest.  I know for a fact it's geo blocked in Australia.
