My complaint:

I think this Science should be renamed to the “myths” channel. I see more shows based on limited data and lots of speculation. As a science teacher, I once recommended some of your shows. More and more it’s about a few limited anecdotes strung together to form unbiased claims. This is pseudoscience.

It’s a lesson I teach in the beginning of the year. The shows I guess get good ratings??

But that’s exactly what they are Pseudoscience….. not true science.

It saddens me that people might actually think these shows represent true science.

Suggested solution:

Develop more shows about factual discoveries and explanations of true science.

Such as advances in DNA and viruses. New archeological discoveries.
So many people are misled. Be a leader in truth.
