Alaskan bush people
I started watching abp during the first season. It was believable then. It has gotten ridiculous. These people are an insult to true alaskans who live in the bush. They are total buffoons. I can't believe you took off the last alaskans and yet you keep these idiots on discovery. They are an insult to anyone with half a brain. Everyone knows that they can't possibly live on that mountain in the winter. They would never make it. And they always wait until winter to worry about what should have been worked on all summer. I am done with this idiocy.
Bias
I have been watching the Discovery family of shows for a couple of years because I became fed up with the bias on mainstream tv. But I have been noticing for the past couple of weeks, all the ads for VP Biden but none for President Trump. Are you going to go the way of the mainstream media also?
If so, I guess I will turn to the radio for my entertainment.
You wrote your comment back in September 2020 and I agree with you wholeheartedly! We have stopped watching many of our favorite shows on the major networks. L&O: SVU, The Resident just to name two shows. All the networks are all promoting the bias from the Main Stream Media. It even is in the advertising! White man and police are now BAD! They all better wake up because there are a lot of us out there that don't agree with their cancel culture. I for one boycott with my wallet.
Street outlaws
Please get rid of whoever you are using to narrate the street outlaws programs!
He is sooo irritating to listen to!
I will stop watching the show if you keep using this dumb narration!
It's like listening to someone's fingernails on a chalk board!
You don't need the narration, the show is fine without it!
It has never been narrated before and it sounded just fine without it!
He explains what is obvious and it is sickening to listen to him talk about what is going on in the program that speaks for itself!
So please stop!

Confederate symbology Moonshiners
Still, Discovery Channel continues to feature Moonshiner Mike with his blatant confederate flag Cross on his hat. In Season 9 episode 1 he now plants his twig crosses on all four sides of his head, just so whatever angle you film him the confederate flag will feature. Discovery Channel is facilitating and broadcasting his symbolism of race hate.
Naked and afraid
This show is very offensive and if you think people are watching it for the survival skills boy are you wrong people are watching it because they're all perverts. It should be taken off the air. What happened to the old discovery channel
BLM commercial
Its insulting to me that they put a higher value on one race over all other races, and I'm sure its equally insulting to those in law enforcement that they are promoting the idea that systemically the police are racist, especially considering the ethnic diversity in the majority of the police departments throughout the United States, they are on the wrong side of the truth and of history and are not part of the solution.
These BLM commercials are so disgusting and insulting to the American population. I can't believe what I'm seeing every 3 minutes from the Discovery channel it's so degrading to see a BLM commercial what about #all lives matter. BLM is a terrorist organization they stand for nothing, they don't care about all black lives, they didn't care about officer Dorn, they don't care about the three month old child that was killed, all they care about is looting, rioting and setting fires. I don't understand why a tv station would hook up with a domestic terrorist organization. You need to stop what you're doing!
Fantomworks (motortrend)
On 06/19/2020 I was watching Fantom works Dan the owner of the auto restoration shop refered some shoddy work as jonny salami work.This is insulting to Italans when anyone speaks of salami you automatically think Italian coldcuts . What is he trying to say ? My interpretation and all of my Italians friends beleave that Dan was saying that Italians are not capable of doing quality work . Italians have been making the worlds best automobiles since the beginning of the auto industry . If the descovery network is going to give shows to bigots and racist I can no longer watch your channels . The discovery channels portrays it's network as family frieindly shows . I will be sending out what Dan said to all the Italian groups on social media . I don't beleave you will do anything about these insulting comments . But by informaing my Italian family they will stop watching also and maybe just maybe your channel lose some advertisment money .
Commercial
We do not choose to expose our family to pornography and the commercials for sex call lines as well as for the show naked and afraid both fall into this category. Both of them are completely disgusting. You should be ashamed, exposing children and families to this filth for profit. We are no longer watching your channels and will be discontinuing our subscription. We will also be encouraging as many people as possible to boycott your channels.
Man vs wild
Is so traumatizing for my young grandkids to see this horrible way of a gentle animal die, my grandkids run to their bedroom screaming and crying about the way this person kill a caribou is 10.25pm San Diego California I love the discovery Channel but I never will imagine the cruelty this guy shows and the ridiculous happiness about killing this poor animal. How can you air this program for young kids or even adults with a heart to see this, this guy gave food and water don't have to kill the animal to show the survival skill that he displays. Is the English guy. Disgusting person,, I will stop watching your channel and I will advice all if my friends coworkers and club members to stop watching this show. Mrs Lewis
"where do we go from here", a conversation led by oprah
I will quit watching all of my favorite shows (hgtv, food channel) because of this very racially conducted show led by the queen of racism "oprah" people need to wake up. Makes me sick to my stomach to see what "protest" have done to national monuments (lincoln memorial, etc) in our nation's capital... No, I do not condone what that cop did to george floyd, but we are now all paying the price of it because of the hatred towards 1 man (pres. Trump) socialism is coming, just wait and see.
Viewing choices
I watch your network (that I pay extra to watch) for entertainment purposes and to escape the issues of the world going on outside my home. I could not believe (when exhausted from a days work, ready to relax) all your channels are showing the same program!? Ie where do we go from here. I am forced to hear about these issues all day. It's all that is on the news, people are talking about it everywhere I go. I did not want to come home and have it be on my two favorite channels as well. I disagree with your choice to force me into facing it once again during my time to relax. I guess I will have to drop your network and live stream a channel that is not forcing me to watch what they want me to watch. If I wanted to hear even more on the subject I could chose it! You are not giving your viewers a choice? I pay to watch your channel. Where's my voice? Talk about unfair! I'm signed off for now and will be dropping your network if you choose to continue to take away my right and freedom to watch what I want. Why would I continue?
My favorite shows last night were not shown but instead was a show by Oprah Winfrey. Mr. Lloyd was murdered by a police officer and it was horrible to watch that happen in our country.
But I resent you putting it on all of your channels. It was like you were forcing your customers to watch it. Oprah Winfrey is a rich racist and everyone knows it. As much as I pay for your channels, I expect better programming than that.
You also show old reruns on your channels. Last night I watched Guy's Grocery Games at 7 (central time) and the episode was from 2015 as well as cupcake shows. You should do better than this.
I agree completely. I watch programs that are uplifting and was so upset that so many channels were running one program forcing me to turn off my TV for the night. I called Dish this morning to discuss it and they said they had nothing to do with it that I needed to contact Discovery and complain. I will be dropping my service as well. I am not going to pay almost $100 per month to be forced to watch what you choose.
Oprah Winfrey racist program
The program due to air on all Discvery Channels that only has represents the black view shows that your channel is very racist. I will be filing a complant with the FCC . I feel that Opera Winfrey and her guest wil do nothing but start more troubles in our country and the Discovery channe should e sued for allowing such content to be aired.
ads
I will be turning my channel from HGTV, which I love, until the "make America great again" commercials quit airing. The small man behind them is causing harm to our country and the citizens living here. His race baiting is despicable but sadly I've come to expect it from him. That is who he is after all, a racist small man. HGTV however, does not need to encourage his behavior and help him spread his hate and lies by airing his ads. HGTV is not the place for his political rhetoric and it's disappointing that you're supporting his agenda.
Commercial
I don't understand why this channel is showing commercial for sex calls. On 04/19/2020 a commercial came on for call girls to call them. What was very inappropriate was the way they were flaunting their bodies. I've never seen this ever on your channel. Many children are watching this station, this is very inappropriate for you to have this kind of commercial being shown.
Why is investigation Discovery broadcasting a show that tries to free a murderer and an animal abuser(Joe exotic)...I find it really really offensive cause there are lots of innocent prisoners that deserve the attention and help way more than this idiot...please stop this stupidity and use the money for someone else...
With saddened regards...

Program wheeler dealers
Mike Brewer is just a stooge, Edd China was definitely the star of the show
Who gives a [censored] about selling the car? Fans are surely interested in how the car is brought back to life with all his tips and tricks.
I switch channels when Brewer comes on, It's constantly a repeat of what he does and says every single episode of every single series.
Now he tries to make it look like he knows what he's doing with the spanners (wanker)
Brewer says that Edd disagreed with Discovery channel, I believe that Brewer was getting nervous with Edds popularity.
Discovery channel should be ashamed of getting rid of Edd
I won't be watching the new series with Ant
Better to have gotten rid of Brewer and employed both Ant and Edd
Anyone can buy and sell a car
poor taste in programming
This show is nothing more than a cheap reproduction of "The World's Dumbest", without sometimes funny "Comedians". If this is the "best" Discovery Family can come up with - fire the people who made the decision. I have resorted to watching the local news broadcasts again (for better comedic content) at 5PM ET! What was wrong with 60 minutes (actually 40-some) of Too Cute!
Fast and Loud!
Only if you plan on canceling the program!
Fast and Loud is thee best Hot Rod show on TV.
It shows reality, the car building, balanced with human drama.
Please do not take away the only show on this channel that has everything millions of us love, take a vote! We don't know if you plan on canceling until you do it and then we all freak out. I know some thing change but over all this show deserves more seasons.
Thank you

Loud overpowering music
Every episode of the show "Expedition Unknown" throughout the entire shows your background music is so overwhelmingly loud that it is extremely difficult to hear the show. Could you please eliminate this background music so we can hear the people talk and enable us to enjoy your shows? I thoroughly enjoy your shows but I'm going to have to change to another channel if this issue isn't resolved. Thank you!
commercial/program
You should be absolutely ashamed! I was watching what I thought was an age appropriate episode of expedition unknown with my family. Including my 11 year old daughter when suddenly a commercial came across saying aloud and in written words naked threesome. How dare you! You claim to be an educational channel, but in what way?! That isn't education, it is vile! If I wanted my innocent child to have exposure to this sort of sexual education I would take her to a bar or strip club, which is frowned upon, not to mention illegal. So how is it that you people feel this is ok!? As a parent and a morally decent human being I am literally sick to my stomach by what you feel is ok to show our children. It's not like i'm sitting around watching pornography channels in front of my kids, I thought I was exposing them to history and learning. What you are airing (unknowingly because obviously the show you are advertising is not anything I would defile my home with) is basically pornography and sex. I hope all of your children are submitted this and you have to deal with a 5, 8, or 11 year old (the ages of my children) asking you, "what is a naked threesome?"
street outlaws
Programming for Street Outlaws has become a fight and regional racist program. Participants referring to someone from the Northeast as being a "damn yankee" is out of line. Discovery Channel should realize the "Civil War" concluded a long time ago. This programming just assures that there is still a national divide, promoted by the programming provider. I won't be watching this, and the new "Memphis" programming is horrible depiction of what I just described. Guns and knives and injury are next, no doubt.
