Unfortunately, the History Channel is now more reality dreck than real history, too.
History International, if your system offers it, is somewhat better.
If you want real history, dig into wikipedia. Got lost in it reading about the cultures of the middle east and what that whole thing's about and from there into ancient china. It's a deep rabbit hole with lots of links.

I did watch one episode of naked dating - late night, couldn't sleep and nothing on. Fist date was some dork and a decent looking chick and their date was wake boarding. He went first and couldn't for save his life get up on the board. Spent most of the first date head down with ass and nuts out of the water. Her face was priceless. Her turn, she popped right up and did some tricks on the wake. I did laugh my ass of at him struggling like a complete idiot. Haven't tuned in since but did have a good laugh at the stupidity.
