    As I recall back in 2003 when MythBusters started there were still some okay shows left but it went downhill quickly from there.

    I haven’t been able to find a good list of Discovery schedules by year, that would make it clear when it became reality only.

    The good shows I remember from the 90s was:

    • Dinosaur! and When Dinosaurs Ruled with Bob Bakker
    • Connections with James Burke
    • Beyond 2000
    • Time Team
    • WW2 documentaries
    • Flying Squid@lemmy.worldOPM

      Discovery showing Time Team made me a lifelong fan. Most of the old episodes are on YouTube now. They have a Patreon to fund new episodes. They aren’t as good because Tony doesn’t host them, but they’re still fun.
