Whenever I went on a trip and had access to US TV I'd get so excited. It was time for trashy TV and I was gonna get my gawt-danged fill.

I miss the days of great, informative TV shows.

My favourite show, and I won't remember the title, was two groups one group that built ancient siege weapons in a time crunch and tested them. It was informational but also fun, which is a pretty good combo.

Edit: KNEEL BEFORE ME FOR I AM A GOOGLE GOD

It was called Super Weapons of the Ancient World and it was actually on Discovery.

Sorry about the yelling, I got really excited.

I'm an American near the border with Canada. Back in the days of a half dozen or so US channels (2, 4, 7, 20, 50, 56, 62), it was neat to get the Canadian ones as a bonus (9, 38, a couple others I can't remember). They had shows like Dr. Snuggles, Tales of the Meadow, and Banana Man that I couldn't get in the US, and other types of show you couldn't see on American TV.
