Anyone else watch this? I've found myself watching SC quite a bit since I found it a few months ago (DirecTV 570). It reminds me of what History Channel used to be with mostly documentary and investigative shows. I'm hooked on the air/sea disaster investigations and aircraft/ship biographies.

Yeah, I’ve watched Air Disasters forever, this is like the third different title they’ve used depending on the production country/channel airing it. 

‘Towed Under’ was the last episode of the newest season of Disasters at Sea, just sucks they don’t date them so your DVR can pick up the new airings. 

Tried to tell you!

Disasters at Sea, replays at 10 this morning, 8 & 11 Tuesday night on Smithsonian is about the Destination sinking. Worth a watch.

Lulz, yeah most of the programs are repackaged older shows, but I don't really care about that. Towed Under was a fantastic episode. You would think it would pull them by the stern, but they didn't run the line through a stern eye which I guess is SOP. We always ran a low line through an eye, but I was never on a tug.

Stuff like this is why I love this channel. It's Jack Webb "Just the facts, Mam."

I’ve been watching Aerial America and it’s reruns for the last ten years. They did an Aerial New Zealand and an Aerial Ireland a while back, I wish they’d make more. The four parter on the UK was really good, too.

Came here to post this. Good stuff. Have watched every episode.

I also like taking in all of the National Park specials.

Makes you want to take a Road Trip.

this is my standard go-to channel.  

Only downside is the main age group that watches that channel must be the uber-olds because 90% of their commercials are either for some sort of crazy Pharm meds, or  AARP.

It’s my favorite channel. Air Disasters, Aerial America, and loads of WWII docs are terrific. The best thing is that there isn’t a single “reality” TV show.

Cher was on Colbert last week promoting a new show on Smithsonian about an elephant she rescued and moved to a sanctuary. The story sounded fascinating because there were plenty of hoops she had to jump thru to get it done. Cher & The Loneliest Elephant.  The US Smithsonian Channel premiere is scheduled on Wednesday, May 19th at 8pm ET/PT.

I didn't get to finish it. Bastards actually expected me to do some work while I was at work.

I also enjoy Aerial America. For you P1's the narrator is Conrad from the little Ticket.

Conrad does a lot of Canadian and Adult Swim productions.

Aerial America is fantastic!

I’ve found the “Inside the Tower of London” series to be really interesting. It mixes the modern day to day lives of the operations crew with it’s medieval history. They’ve been replaying an older series titled, “8 Days That Made Rome” that I’ve seen before, but am watching again.  I recommend both for anyone interested in those periods of history. 

Love that Rome series. I also would like to motorboat Bethany.

Bettany Hughes taking a motor boat up the river Nile is on Tubi, the free app which is mostly junk content and b-movies

 

I would give Bettany the best 15 seconds of my life!

I'd motorboat her Nile, Ganges, Amazon and Mississippi.  Viva knowledge y informacion y Smifson y on!

And again tonight at 7. Guide info is wrong as usual, so a DVR won't catch it as new.
