The History Channel used to have standards before the advent of reality television. Even when they used to do their Nostradamus stuff before, they used to preface everything with a mostly accurate, researched historical backing and tried to explain why people looked (and still look) at Nostradomus and other prophets/soothsayers with a large historiographical context, psychological studies, and all important facts.

... Now, the History Channel is reduced to Ice Road Truckers, WWII stuff, conspiracy theories that ignore historical context, and ALIENS. And have you seen what's become of the Discovery Channel and Animal Planet? Buggerin' hell, what a mess! If it wasn't for Investigative Discovery, I wouldn't even watch television.
