Extremely poor quality information on their volcano shows. They have stated that the most powerful eruptions have occurred in Indonesia. No mention of the super volcanoes in Yellowstone and Russia t

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Volcano facts seem off.
  • - Ash falls do not cause tsunamis.
  • - Yellowstone and Russia have super volcanoes.
  • - Powerful eruptions aren't only in Indonesia.

Get their facts straight. When it comes to volcanoes, they aren't even close.

More fiction than science. Ash falls do not cause tsunamis. The most powerful eruptions are not in Indonesia, to name just a couple.

How about the supervolcanoes in Yellowstone and Russia? Makes me doubt the accuracy of everything on this channel.

Pros:
  • No pros on their volcano shows
Cons:
  • Mostly inaccurate to the point of being fiction

Preferred solution: Apology

User's recommendation: Don't waste your time on the Science Channel. More fiction than science

Fake scripted show

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

You ignorant Hollywood *** that write these dumb *** scripts for these shows think it makes the show more interesting you are so out of touch with people, but it doesn't surprise me.

User's recommendation: The show would be good if not for the lame scripts.

Gross errors in an episode.

AI Highlights
  • - The episode contained truck-related errors.
  • - FDOT rules are per axle, not tire configuration; limits: steer 12,000; drive 34,000; trailer 34,000.

You broadcast several gross errors about commercial trucks in an episode I recently watched. I'll list them for you.

1. Truckers cannot just pull off the road and go to bed.

2. Duals cannot carry more weight than super singles. The FDOT regulates how much weight is allowed per axle, not the configuration of the tires.

3. The fifth wheel is just called... the fifth wheel. It has different parts with names, none of which you mentioned at all. For instance, the skid plate on top of the fifth wheel.

So you can convey accurate and correct information in the future, tractor-trailer combination vehicles are allowed a maximum of 80,000lbs distributed as follows: steers are allowed 12,000lbs. The tractor's drive axle is allowed 34,000lbs and the trailer tandem is allowed 34,000lbs.

The next time you air an episode about tractor-trailers, I'd strongly suggest you talk to actual truckers before you make fools of yourselves again.

Preferred solution: Apology

User's recommendation: The information contained in this episode is NOT accurate.

Programming

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - The Science Channel isn't science anymore.
  • - Too many how it's made and peripheral topics.
  • - Viewers declined; kitchenware buyers rose.
Updated by user Aug 12, 2024

They continue, and will continue, their same lousy programming. The Science Channel should be ABOUT SCIENCE and the content is watered down.

Very little is about science - it's about manufacturing tricks, making hardware, and totally peripheral stuff LOLSo for "science" I have to turn to the internet. Broadcasting sources? Forget it!

:)Thanks.......... yves feder

Original review Aug 05, 2024

Your Science Channel content is hardly ever "SCIENCE" any longer. Lots of "how it's made" and other peripheral subjects.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Do you actually get more viewers by diluting your content? What a shame. Well you have lost a lot of viewers, but maybe picked up more "consumers" who buy crap kitchenware or whatever, instead of telescopes or whatever.

Part of the dumbing down of America, I guess.

Congrats for being part of that! A shame...

Idea to use aging episodes

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Xfinity airs aging space episodes, including Season 8, four years old.
  • - Suggests updating with new findings (e.g., JWST) to refresh content.

You are broadcasting aging space information in aging episodes. Xfinity has all of them available but they are old.

To get more use out of them, you continue to broadcast them. Im watching Season 8 on right now and its 4 years old, not mention that the information is from years before. I suggest you consider using old episodes by sharing updates.

Like the 50 years ago, and Today piece in one of our favorite magazines. So, you show a part from an old episode and then explain how new information (like maybe from the James Webb) has improved our understanding and changed our theories

User's recommendation: Easy to communicate online

Back round music and noise

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Loud background music makes it hard to hear speakers.
  • - I watch less on your channel.
  • - The channel could lead by cutting back on music.

Why do you have so much loud background music and sound on your shows? It makes it very hard to hear who is speaking.

I have come to watch much less on your channel as time goes on.

You are not the only station that does this. Maybe you could be a leader in cutting back on it.

Pros:
  • Very good
Cons:
  • To loud back round sounds

Preferred solution: Fix it

User's recommendation: Still a great channel

AI Highlights
  • - I watched scientists test the Shroud on the Science Channel.
  • - In 1961 I saw the Shroud in Turin and concluded it isn’t Jesus.
Updated by user May 16, 2024

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. I decided it wasn't a problem important enough to paint a bulls eye on my back since I am 77 yrs old and ill.

Original review Apr 16, 2024
2 evenings ago, the Shroud of Turin was on the Science Channel. I watched all these scientists making all sorts of tests to try and determine if the image on the shroud was that of Jesus.

I saw the Shroud in person in Tourin in 1961 and knew it was NOT my LORD Jesus. How?

#1) Jesus Christ is a Jew. The face on the Shroud is Roman.
#2) The Bible says as a result of the torture Jesus received plus the sins God the Father placed on Him, Jesus didn't look human.
#3) Jesus back was ripped open so His internal organs were exposed, the backside
doesn't show any destruction of the back.
Ergo, NOT Jesus Christ.
Cons:
  • Shows based on biblical history are way ofg

User's recommendation: Start thinking Biblically when looking at shows like this.

False information

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Feb 6, 2024 Black History Month program isn't true.
  • - African kings sold people from other tribes into slavery.
  • - Slavery did not start in the Southern U.S.

The program's about Black History Month and slavery that aired February 6th 2024 is not entirely true. You should also be explaining that the black kings of Africa sold black people from other tribes into slavery.

It did not start in the Southern States of America. Get your *** straight!no

Planned Parenthood ad

AI Highlights
  • - They oppose a Planned Parenthood fundraising ad.
  • - They claim Planned Parenthood aborts babies and call it murder, saying the ad misleads the public.

Im discussed that you would run an ad for Planned Parenthood fund raising. Planned Parenthood aborts babies.

If you think killing unborn babies is something you should support you are condoning murder.

Trying to sell PP as womans rights and health care organization is lying to be the public. These people have killed over 62 million people and you are giving them a platform to solicit money to kill more unborn babies. What youre doing is an abomination.

Do you believe in God? Im waiting for an explanation as to why you think its appropriate to allow an organization that murders babies advertise on you TV station.

Preferred solution: An end to ads for Planned Parenthood.

Quite simply, those clowns at The "Science" Channel did not respond in any way.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - The review questions their use of 'Dr' for a so-called expert; 'Dr' is an honorific for surgeons, physicians, and PhDs in academia.

It was about their use of the term "Dr" in reference to one of their so called experts. The term.Dr is an honorific given to Surgeons, Physicians and PhDs in College and University teaching and research positions.

User's recommendation: Do not watch this channel...it's misleading.
