This is a normal post Why are Americans incapable of making a documentary
for age groups older than 3-6 months?

This is a normal post They aren't incapable, they are likely to target advertising demographics so possibly in this case a young family where parents are watching with young children

This is a normal post I actually will.
Of course, I'm being bombastic. It just irks me how so many of these documentaries are just junk.

This is a normal post I would like to know this too.
Why do their animal documentaries tend to leave out reproduction and concentrate instead on violence? Why do their science/technology documentaries spend so long repeating the same 5 or 6 simple facts over and over? And why do they spend so long talking about corn?

Seriously I've never watched a corn documentary, but I've seen a dozen American documentaries where they spend 5-10 minutes discussing corn. Why is this?

This is a normal post They are pretty obsessed with corn.
I honestly dunno why. Corn is mostly shit.

This is a normal post Corn is a huge agricultural lobbying force in the US.
Spend a few minutes talking about corn and they probably give you money.

This is a normal post Oh yes, the mighty corn lobby.
There was one documentary I watched on the settlement of the Americas by the Europeans, which did not mention the puritans at all, claimed that settlers were escaping a Europe-wide overcrowding crisis(?!?!?!?), and discussed native Americans only in terms of their relationship to corn.

This is a normal post I guess religious extremism and subsequent genocide are tough subjects.

This is a normal post leave out reproduction - at a guess religious lobby
concentrate on violence - attracts/draws in the audience
repeating same facts - assumption that their audience watches so long before changing channel
corn - because its amaizeing

This is a normal post I'm just glad they didnt transition to those strange black and blue wireframe 3d visualizations they seem to like to much

This is a normal post And why are they totally incapable of pronouncing the word 'Warrior'?
Actually, that'd be something for a boring afternoon - clip compilation of American actors mangling the word 'Warrior'. With a whole two hours of nothing but Klingons...
