More years ago than I care to admit, it was...okay, I suppose? There's only so much you can do putting the Punic Wars or whatever into a 30 minute show, and it probably did okay within those limits.
Whether it was intentional or not, I read it as a backhanded compliment, as in, “His range may be described as a cyber truck: limited, without strength, and only enjoyed by white men who are high.”
So he tries to find something that interests him for an hour, only to close after three minutes, disgustedly staring into the empty eyes of the pitiful face in the reflection of the now blank screen?

Nothing to do with the OP, just wanted to let you know that as a former bartender and eternal nerd, I count you my enemy forevermore for coming up with such a fucking powerful handle before I could.
This conjures rather unfortunate images of old men beating off to Pawn Stars, The Curse of Oak Island, and William Shatner explaining Ancient Aliens...
I have a history degree, and I believe him. That channel has been garbage in terms of actual history content (aside from WWII, which they were decently accurate on but weirdly obsessed with) for decades.
Well, it's partly just that focusing on like 5 years out of the thousands of years of recorded history doesn't really fit with being called the History channel, and partly that a whooole bunch of the content was specifically about Hitler and the SS and you start wondering which side they'd be on.
