All right! Enough! History Channel, stop pulling a G4TV and get back to the programs for which we have known and loved you.

All of a sudden, I am more likely to find a reality show about some boobs driving on ice or some inane look at Scientist Guy’s blow-hard idea of the conception of the universe than I am a good old-fashioned doc on Cyrus the Great and how he smashed the Babylonians or World War II Guy storming something.

Darn it, History Channel, you’re breaking my heart. And I am not talking about being up 2-0 to the Lakers then losing four straight. No.

Nor having to be the “best friend” of the girl you have loved since seventh grade, and then when the two of you begin high school, she calls you up after the first weekend and tells you all about how she just lost her virginity to some butt-wipe junior with a car. No! DAMN THESE MEMORIES!

See, History is not always pleasant. But that does not mean we simply stop exploring it for flashier visions of the future. This heartbreak is very real, and it’s kind of worse because this involves TV. Spurs playoffs series and backseat driving are temporary, but TV should last forever.

I am talking about the History Channel’s obsession with “Ice Road Truckers,” “Ax Men,” “SandHogs” and to a lesser extent “Monster Quest” and “Jurassic Fight Club.”

“Mail Call,” “Mega Disasters,” “Shootout,” “Engineering an Empire,” all these classic programs are being muscled out by guys digging holes in New York City. Yeah, that’s right. “SandHogs” is about city workers in New York digging tunnels. Riveting.

I realize these shows by the History Channel are an attempt to copy “Deadliest Catch.” But come on. There is no way you guys are going to do that. Those crabbers are out of your league.

I had an inkling when History Channel stuck some Canadians on a frozen lake and said, “drive that way.” “Ice Road Truckers” was the canary in the mine for all us history buffs who flock to the History Channel for its amazing documentaries and programs about antiquity.

I mean, the name of the channel is “history!”

I have nothing against guys cutting down trees or digging holes. But leave those reality-type shows to The Learning Channel or Discovery, where they belong.

And imaginary fights between velociraptors and Tyrannosaurus rexes? Please. Do you actually ..... wait. That’s actually kind of cool. In fact, that’s pretty freaking awesome, but again, something for Discovery Science or Animal Planet.

I want Alexander, Charlemagne and the Mongols. Give me Caesar, Lee and Rommel. I demand Xerxes, Lombards and Saladin. It is imperative that you stick me with Vercingetorix.

Leave reality TV to the vastness that is the beast of TV programming. You have always shown the true reality TV.
