I had great hopes for this but only made it through 4 of season one's episodes before giving it the sack.
The voice-over dialogue and sensationalist announcements is better suited to "Cops" TV show than a proper science programme.
Understood the History Channel is competing with shows on MTV, Comedy Central, and Spike TV and this is painfully evident.
Had to switch this off during the "Inner Planets" segment where Venus is referred to as Earth's "Evil Twin", the inner planets were described as "planets gone bad" and Earth's "Global Warming" conclusion is based off analysis of Venus' atmosphere... complete with hippie scientist with funky ear-ring.
