If you were only allowed to keep one of those two channels, which one would it be and why?

I choose the history channel. I think they have better shows. But then again, I like history more than someone getting muddy or blowing up a two liter with pop rocks or something.

History channel.

Sure they might go crazy with the Hitler documentaries but the Discovery channel is nothing but sharks and lions.

Probably history, because the only show on discovery I like is Mythbusters, all it plays besides that is shitty reality shows like Deadliest Catch

Discovery's been getting shoddy recently. I think I'd go for History. R. Lee Ermey kicks ass, Gangland kicks ass, history in general kicks ass.

Its a tough call, Discovery often has cool engineering docos, but I love a lot of the WW1 and WWII docos on history...I'll have to say history, because a lot of the time the Discovery docos are so far dumbed down its like reading lego instructions.

I'm tempted to say discovery because science > history imo but geez... some of their docos are utter craptacular and most are quite simply mediocre, mythbusters excepted. On the other hand history channel docos are usually pretty interesting and well made if not so flashy. so history.

History.. they have space Tuesdays (the Universe, how the Earth was made..etc). History is also airing WWII in HD right now and it is incredible.

NATGEO, The Science channel, and the Smithsonian channel are also great.

Discovery. History can be interesting to me, but not when it's WWII special after WWII special. Plus, of the two, I've spent more time watching and enjoying Discovery anyway. I'm one of those science people that loves seeing how shit works and learning about the world around us

Planet Earth in HD as a series was cooler than any single series on History channel but as a whole the History channel has better shows.

Yeah, for me, Discovery is 50/50 with good, interesting stuff, and retarded ghost hunting bullcrap.

Tough choice.
I like the WW2 documentaries in History Channel but hate those about socialism/communism which air often in Italy.
Discovery channel on the other hand has Mythbusters, Future Weapons...Mack yeah!, Weaponology and other cool stuff...
So i guess i would choose Discovery.

Discovery Channel is nice when you're bored as fuck and cba to do anything that requires effort

American Chopper, Deadliest Catch, Smash Lab, Ultimate Survival - lulz

in Italy we don't have that much cool new stuff.
Most of the stuff aired are stuff from last year or before that are repeated and repeated and repeated.
Sometimes we get new stuff but rarely.

History would be my choise too. I'm so un-thrilled with the crappiest catches, whatevergaragetuningbuildingshit, rednecks on icehighways, blowshitupbusters, nooyolkdiggermoles and whatnot gojira-sized shack builders. "We have a deadline here guys! If we once again miss it, which we have never done, we won't be getting our milliyns! Instead we have to go suck our thumbs in the corner while the mid brunch shift comes and fucks us up the ass for they have to work 5 shifts in a row because of us since we didn't catch anything!" Bla bla bla...
