The Science Channel is highly praised as an essential viewing experience, with strong recommendations for those who don't currently have access. In addition, the discussion highlights a fondness for memorable commercials, particularly the HP ad featuring a quirky character and the iconic Steven Seagal Mountain Dew commercial. There is a humorous debate about the taste of Mountain Dew, with some expressing strong dislike while others defend its appeal. The conversation shifts to television programming, with critiques of the History Channel for its focus on World War II content, leading to a desire for more diverse historical programming, particularly ancient and medieval history. Participants also express nostalgia for educational content on channels like Discovery and PBS, lamenting the shift towards less educational programming in favor of reality shows. Overall, the thread reflects a passion for educational media and memorable advertisements, alongside a critique of current television trends.

My favorite channels (besides News & Sports) are PBS (Simon Rose, Rick Steves, others) Discovery (NOVA, Myth Busters, the occasional Tom Friedman report, etc.), History (for war and peace, I'm not fussy), Comedy Central (almost entirely for the Daily Show) and Bravo (mostly for the West Wing and James Lipton).

I don't have cable but my favorite shows are still NOVA and Nature. Always have been, even when I was a kid.
