As I've mentioned here before, although at first glance our cable channels in Dubai look American, they're slightly different. Orbit ESPN has baseball and football, but also rugby and cricket and soccer. Cartoon Network has Powerpuff Girls and Dexter's Lab, but also some crappy European stuff.
And then there's the History Channel.
Pretty much it's either "Engineering Disasters" or World War II all day and all night.
And not even the War in the Pacific - I watched on December 7th and there wasn't a whisper about Pearl Harbor. Nope. It's all the European Theater.
Which makes it a little bit like the Hitler Channel.
"Hitler's Legacy", "Hitler's War: Death Trap", "Hitler's War: The Iron Grave", "Hitler's War: The Battle Of Britain", "Hitler's War: Fire Storm", "Hitler's War: The Air War Over Germany" ... the list goes on and on.
But tomorrow night's new show might take the cake ... "High Hitler".
Apparently Hitler was all hepped up on goofballs and laxatives and who knows what.
They've been advertising the heck out of this show, and I'm really kind of psyched to see it. I mean, I've heard a lot about Hitler, but that he was gassy and on laxatives 24/7? That's something new I didn't know.
I'll report back if there's anything else worth writing about.
