I was SO surprised to find that out about TLC. I have only ever associated them with shows like say yes to the dress, cake boss and toddlers and tiaras.
Comment on Why do people hate TV shows like The Biggest Loser and My 600-lb Life?

I remember when TV channels like TLC used to air educational content (The Learning Channel was actually an appropriate name). It has since morphed into a channel that airs “lets gawk at these people who aren’t like us” content. It’s no longer educational.

You remember Connections, with James Burke?
John Romer/Roemer, whatever, his docu-series on Egypt?
That kind of thing.

Connections was only like 20 years before my time, so not really.
I did however see that they made some form of re boot last year, so I will try to check that out it sounds fun.

Get this: The History Channel used to show documentaries about history. Everything is turning to shit. Capitalism rocks.
