Discovery Channel my little pony

What does introduction of a same-sex couple have anything to do with a children's cartoon!?!
Life is difficult enough for young children growing up in this strange crazy politically correct environment. Why can't you just show cute ponies sharing adventures and friendships and how to have fun.

Totally disgusted, will write sponsors and not allow my children to watch your show again!

Discovery Channel new voice over on the discovery channel

I used to watch the Discovery channel ALL the time! Now the addition of a voice over explaining what I am watching is SO annoying, I can't watch any longer. What idiot thought this was a good idea, I can't imagine.

All I know is that you have lost one loyal customer forever! If you start losing other customers, this might be the reason why. Please relay this complaint to your programing development department.

Discovery Channel my little ponies

I am now a thirty-three-year-old woman who grew up watching my little ponies. My complaint is actually for Discovery Family. I don't know why the producers of children's cartoons think it's acceptable to show same-sex relationships to our children. Leave the parenting up to the parents. Kids should not have a thought in your mind about someone's sexual orientation at this tender time in their life. It is disgusting that you try to push your agendas on our children. I am not anti-gay. I treat all people with dignity and respect. Where I draw the line is with my kids. It is pure disgusting that you want to put two Pony girlfriends in a kids cartoon. I would appreciate you deciding to play a rerun versus showing gay relationships to people's children. It's enough of that out there already that their cartoons do not need to be invaded! You are about to lose a lot of money with this bad idea. Ever since it was posted on our new site a lot of people say no more My Little Ponies. Very sad and disturbing

Discovery Channel discovery channel on comcast in oregon concerning expedition unknown

At sometime this past year, Expedition Unknown, made the journey from the Travel Channel to Discovery. As I don't get the Travel channel, I was very happy. Many episodes from the prior season were run(evidently in preparation for a new season). All good; love the show. Now, however, Discovery is "repackaging" these previous shows and trying to promote them as new...As they are not new, and I have seen a great many of them, I am very upset...Does Discovery not have the money to make new episodes? Or do they think their audience is not bright enough to notice? I noticed a similar problem with Alaskan Bush people(another show I love). Discovery just started another new season, but it was actually (at least) the last couple of episodes of the last season--just repackaged. And really, how are they Alaskan Bush people when they moved to Cali, then tried to move to Colorado and now are in Wa? Either the name should be changed or they should move back to Alaska.

Discovery Channel wheeler dealer

Tired of the American series of Wheeler Dealer, bring this show back to the roots of the UK where it all began. Their are enough American car rebuilders on TV as it is. Gas Monkey naming just one & fired up garage being another. SORT IT OUT

BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH

Don't want English mechanics fixing up & selling on American bangers. These guys should be concentrating on English vehicles

Its all about money you greedy [censored]s!

Discovery Channel reception

After days of calls and questions starting 5-30, going in circles from your so called experts who had me reset my computer and other things unnecessary was told Discovery channel (streamed) was down.Finally say it is permanent! I as well as many other disabled terminal people, Vets. who enjoyed this entertainment you advertise part of our package is, without notice gone? You are unprofessional, cold hearted and without any respect! Was it really that important to take this away from us?I hope you will reconsider this for many peoples sake.

Can you please take the second narration voice off the 2019 Deadliest Catch episodes it is so irritating. He narrates over the crew member s it's awful. For example he will narrate in third person " Keith talked on the phone." Leave Mike Rowe get rid of the other narrator. My family loves the show but the voice is making us not want to watch

Discovery Channel discovery channel program

We are viewers from Maharashtra in India, Asia-Pacific region
The audio on Discovery is hardly understandable.
There are two languages spoken simultaneously.
Not only is the commentary understandable but it is also very irritating.

Expecting some quick action because we normally mute the audio and keep ourselves happy with just the visuals.

Regards,

M Nair

Discovery Channel gold rush series

I religiously watched gold rush. However, since you started the Dave series, I have totally lost interest. The show has very little to do with the emotions of finding gold that the series used to portray. I find the new series boring, too much walking around, and never really finding the motherlode.
I really miss the gold RUSH.

Yes the show gives background and details of how the people live in these remote areas, but I don't like documentaries.

Surely, there must be more real time gold recovery happening in the world. I really liked your actors (real people, even Dave) you have on the shows. The filming is done well, and the way you edit the films keeps it interesting.

I will keep checking to see if Discovery changes back to a more interesting format.

If you wish to talk with me, my name is Eric, a retired avionics systems engineer. My number is [protected]. Please text since I don't respond to unknown numbers.

Sincerely

Eric

You should be ashamed of yourselves! Basically, all of your shows are based on this premise of capitalistic propaganda! SHAME ON YOU! DO BETTER BY US!

Disgusting. Sad. Shameful.

Discovery Channel street outlaws and other programming

Lately I've noticed that my favorite shows like street outlaws and gas monkey garage are getting away from the focus on the cars and doing way more stupid stuff like the latest Aussie burnout competition. While I'm sure that was a great bit of fun, it's not Street Outlaws and street racing. I dont watch the Gas monkey to see drag racing and monster trucks just like I dont watch street outlaws to see road racing, demolition cars, or burnout competitions. I realize you are trying to make the shows stay interesting but please dont get away from what actually makes these shows what they are.

Discovery Channel deadliest catch - keith colburn

Re: Season 15 Episode 01

I have been a fan of Deadliest Catch for its entire running. As a disabled, homebound individual, it is one of my guilty pleasures. However, in the season premier of season 15, I witnessed something that is egregious. In the episode, Captain Keith Colburn places trash in a crab pot and puts it in the ocean. Shame!

For a man that has stood before Congress as a highly respected member of the Alaskan fishing community, he should know better than to pollute the world's waterways. I would like to see a follow-up of him receiving a citation for his littering. You all, understandably, make a huge deal about small amount of oil being spilled into the ocean and have done entire segments showing them clean up such spills both on and off-board the crab boats. Not showing the same for literal bags of trash being tossed into the ocean gives me pause and lowers my view of both Keith Colburn and the Deadliest Catch production crew.

Discovery Channel over dramatisation

The last episode of American chopper Bonkers in Yonkers, saw OCC building two bikes in record time. But at the last minute one of the bikes wouldn't start due to a dead battery. The bike that failed to start was the brown bike and the blue bike sitting next to it was clearly started as a comparison. Then for the last minute fix just before the reveal a new battery was scoured and fitted to the perfectly working blue bike?

Discovery Channel gold rush white water

It would be nice if you guys would stop making shows for people that have no memory whatsoever. You do this on most of your reality shows. White water being one of the worst for this. The show should be 20 min long. Your constant looping of the same clips over and over is absolutely atrocious. Same [censored] over and over. Really poor production. Just terrible.

Discovery Channel discovery ads

We liked Discovery, however the amount of commercials are ridiculous.They cut into the program out of nowhere, sometimes repeated 3 times in a row and the worst problem ( you are well aware of by all the complaints) about freezing, causing viewers to refresh or even sign out and back in! Latest being the CBS ad. Why would you not correct these problems when you are forcing people away from your channel because it's absolutely unwatchable? Where do you find these people in control programing?

Bring back show that are real or at lease not a total fake how can you film a show like the moonshiners what a piece of garbage find some better show or bring back the ones you had but let go away

Discovery Channel bad chad

Chad is not a smart man but he keeps referring to himself as a genius. I personally think he's autistic. The show it self is cookie cutter and horrible but The self proclaimed genius Chad makes the show unwatchable. I question the decision making abilities of the people at Discovery channel. I hope this is not a sign of things to come in this channel.

P.S.
I do think it's great that you all employ mentally challenged people tho.

Discovery Channel programming on tlc, discovery, animal planet

I see Discovery channel is now running "Crikey! It's the Irwins" on Discovery channel. Did It fail badly on Animal Planet, I hope? These people are making money off of a dead man. Terri is not very well liked by the employees there at the zoo and yet you portray them as all rainbows and hugs. The son has a $30 thousand dollar camera which most of us cannot identify with and Terri fired Steve's sisters husband, who ran the zoo for a very long time. I read a few of the Australian newspapers about them and how the people there dislike her so much, so I fail to understand why you would make a show with them and disgrace the name and legacy of a dead man by showing a wife and kids who are benefiting from a horrific death. Can't they stand on their own without Discovery having to keep them afloat ? You disparage him with the "Crocodile Hunter" series also. Let the dead rest in peace. Take this program off the air and call it a loss. You made a lot of money with Steve, respect him for it.
Now for TLC. "I am Jazz" and "My Big Fat Fabulous Life" and "Sister Wives" and anything connected with it, are insults to our intelligence and contribute to the dumbing down of America. What has happened to "Discovery"? You used to offer such intelligent and innovative programs but not anymore. I could care less about these trashy people. Is this what you want to be known as: The Network who serves up trash on a nightly basis and offends our senses?
I do watch the ID Channel because these stories depict actual people in bad situations and offer some sort of Criminal Justice to bad people. Crime and punishment for the most part.
Thank you.

I am appalled at the commercials for hiv prep medicine. The low moral of this network is amazing. Where has decency gone. My children see these images and get scared. They are too young to have to see this on TV. Please stop trying to make money off of garbage promotions.

There are people with HIV and they need help! Jesus would help people with HIV! Did Jesus hide children from lepers? I am sorry the treatment of others’ illnesses and misfortune offends you and scares your children!
