I'm a nerd and I don't hide it. I have said countless times that the History Channel is one of my favorite television channels. I love history and have always loved history. If I had went to school for teaching...yep you've guessed it...I would have taught history.
So imagine my excitement when I found out that the History Channel was introducing a new show to the line up about mummies. The advertising promoted the show as being like a docu series following around the knower of all mummy Egyptian -ish, Dr. Zahi Hawass, and some other archeology folk as they excavate mummies and discover more artifacts.
So, as I watched the show...after the first 5 minutes...I realized that the show was scripted. I can tell that Dr. Hawass' team are acting, like on some The Hills, type steez. I was just mad, torn, hurt, and bamboozled.
I mean what on earth has the world come to that I can't even watch a show on the History Channel, without worrying about whether it's real or not?
I never thought my favorite channel would sell out like that. Damn shame.
I guess I should mention that the History Channel hasn't actually said that the show is "scripted", so all this stuff I'm spouting...is alleged. I have no proof.
But hey don't take my word for it. See for yourself. Chasing Mummies airs Wednesday nights at 10/9c.
And as they are archaeologist and archaeology students, rather than actors, it even is very bad acting? ;)
