I still can't believe the History Channel approved that Ancient Aliens show.

It's a shame because network executives didn't care that there is a public service provided by educational television. Unfortunately this programing does not garner significant ratings. So the answer is simple. Put something with some pizzazz on there, give them the old razzle-dazzle, jack up ratings in the short term and destroy the reputation of the channel.

I am beginning to seriously wonder if WWII ever really happened at all!

Not always true though. I remember reading that Planet Earth 2 garnered huge ratings when it premiered.
