This channel is awful. Even their actual history shos suck. There were nothing but holiday specials on the other day, so we ended up onn the History Channel on a show about Caligula. A "historian" was talking about how he took drugs so he could eat more food. She said "it was like the opposite of a Vomitorium". My 9 year old daughter says "hey mom, she doesn't know what a vomitorium is!" so I asked her, what is it? I remembered it wasn't for vomiting, but couldn't remember what it WAS for. She said she thought it was part of their theaters, but couldn't remember which part. My husband thought it was the entry way to the baths. We looked it up, and it's the entry way to the theaters and amphitheaters. (So both were at least partly correct).
Point being, my 9 year old had more accurate historical knowledge than one of the shows "historians".
