the History Channel effect

Dumbing down a prestigious and serious scientific publication, website, or channel in order to appeal to the uneducated masses, cut the budget, and get higher ratings.

Have you seen the new National Geographic about ghosts? It got the History Channel effect, man.

Channel the Tater 

A good way to remember how to say Channing Tatum's name in the proper order.

Its Channing Tatum, remember Channel the Tater.

the weather channel

Yet another TV channel that has lost it's purpose in the pursuit of finding a larger audience with reality style, documentary crap. They no longer play weather for much of the day on the Weather Channel. Instead you get these shows about historical weather events. Finding out the forecast on the Weather Channel is about like trying to find a video on MTV.

Even when they do report the weather on TWC it is a joke. Often a two or three person job. One person will give you the south for 2 minutes and after being exhausted throws it to another anchor for the current conditions of the west.

True story: There were severe thunderstorms, hail and a tornado in my county and not a peep from the Weather Channel. TWC was playing a documentary of a tornado in Alabama that killed several people 3 years ago due to a failed warning system. Though no one died here it was still an ironic broadcast from a channel that is suppose to report the damn weather updates.

They must not pay well at the Weather Channel. There is always someone new.

The Estrogen Channel 

A television channel featuring programming targeted to appeal to middle-class, white, suburban, middle-aged women. Lifetime was the original Estrogen Channel. Now competing for estrogen with WE and Oxygen.

Hey, there's another Sandra Bullock movie on the Estrogen Channel tonight, and after that they're showing "Hope: One Woman's Struggle with Breast Cancer" starring Melissa Gilbert and Peter Gallagher.

The Hitler Channel 

A disparaging name for The History Channel. It comes from that channel's propensity for showing WWII or Hitler related documentaries.

"I saw this show about Lincoln on the History Channel"
"You mean the Hitler Channel?"
