Things that make me angry: The Learning Channel
When I say learning, you say… that’s right, decorating and human oddities. No matter what you’re trying to learn, you would be hard pressed to put together a worse curriculum than the schedule from The Learning Channel (TLC). Here are some listings from today’s lineup: A Makeover Story; Clean Sweep; Trading Spaces; While You Were Out; Martha; and Wild Child: The Story of Feral Children. Why not put the Dukes of Hazzard on there so I can learn how to make moonshine and slide across the hood of a car? Other recent educational fare includes: The Half Ton Man; What Not to Wear; and a show about a bunch of dudes who run a tattoo parlour. What I really want though is a single show where a huge fat guy raised by dogs gets the world’s biggest tattoo, a new wardrobe and some simple tricks for making his dining room more inviting. TLC? How about WTF?

I think TLC departed from its mandate of educational television long ago, if it ever had one to begin with. You forgot about their "milestones of inadequacy" shows though: A Dating Story, An Engagement Story, A Wedding Story, A Baby Story, A First Time Your Teenager Screams They Hate You Story. If your life doesn't roll out as portrayed on TLC, you're a lost cause, and will likely appear on their primetime line-up in a wifebeater, being chased by either wild dogs, the police, or a tornado.
For the most part I agree with you, but if you have watched the show :Wild Child: The Story of Feral Children" and do not see the value in it, I can not say anything without being derogatory
