I swore them off after the fake mermaid “documentary” that had the fakest, ugliest CGI they tried to pass off as real.

What really started the whole “fi-sci” (fiction-science) on Discovery was Mythbusters. I know many people don’t want to hear it as they loved the show, but it was often very unscientific, especially their methods and the hasty and often false conclusions they made from their scientifically invalid tests.

Omg! I remember watching that documentary when I was much younger and thought it was absolutely real and was shocked that I had never heard anyone else talking about it. Then… I found out it wasn’t actually real and to say I was pissed off was an understatement. I haven’t anything from discovery channel since.

That is what your intestines told me.
