Tonight @ 10 on the History Channel. Aside from the "lol, ANOTHER reality show on the History Channel?" aspect, the show does look kind of interesting. Anyone else planning to check it out?

So when is the "History" Channel changing its name to reflect the actual type of shows it now produces?

They won't, Ice Road Swamp Pawn Stars channel just doesn't have the same ring to it.

I didn't see this . . . I love jousting. Watched the Knights of Mayhem on Nat Geo a few months back, I guess it must have been successful enough for a copycat.

Now if Comedy Central would just bring back 'Battle Bots' . . .

Watched the Knights of Mayhem one as well, but didn't care for it as it essentially boiled down to a high school pissing match between two fools... Would have liked to have seen more, oh, I dunno, jousting? Hopefully this one does a better job of it.

The show was decent. They are trying for a lot of over the top drama and reality tv conflict between the characters... but when it actually shows them do a jousting match it's pretty interesting.

Nah, they thought they'd keep the name because it'll be appropriate for what it'll be in five years...

"History"!
