The Discovery Channel has been around for a while and usually comes out entertaining television that is also very informative, educational, and interesting. Nowadays, people like watching television that is enlightening and illuminating. People don’t want to just sit around and watch nonsensical television filled with random shenanigans. The Discovery Channel recently got a reputation for putting out TV shows that don’t fully depict The truth, but we are hoping that they clean up their act 100% and turn things around.
We want them to go back to how things were before, where they only released TV shows and movies that were filled with facts… and plenty of proof to back those facts up! There are a lot of great shows to watch on the Discovery Channel that are completely captivating and fascinating. Some of the shows on this list are totally riveting but there are also a few shows on this list that most people would rather skip!

13 Show To Avoid: Mermaids The Body Found
It would be best for everyone if the Mermaids documentaries on the Discovery Channel completely disappeared. The reason we say this is because Mermaids is filled with a lot of false information and untrue statements. The creators of the show tried to make it seem like it was all factual.
12 Best Show To Watch: How It's Made
How It’s Made is a great show on the Discovery Channel to watch! The reason why it’s so great is that the show goes into great detail about how certain items are made and manufactured.

Dirty Jobs is a super interesting show to watch on the Discovery Channel. The show is about a man who puts himself in peculiar positions in his day job by agreeing to do dangerous and disgusting work in order to receive a paycheck. His jobs range from collecting roadkill to catching rattlesnakes.
10 Show To Avoid: Eaten Alive
It would be best for everyone to avoid the show Eaten Alive. The reason we say this is because the show is nothing more than a disappointment. The show was advertised as showcasing a man ultimately getting swallowed by a snake but it never actually ends up happening.

Everyone should tune into Gold Rush on the Discovery Channel. Gold Rush ran for three seasons and followed the lives of two men named Todd and Jack Hoffman. They decided to pursue a life of mining for gold in the wildlands of Alaska! The description of this show sounds crazy but it’s really interesting.
8 Best Show To Watch: Man Vs. Wild
Man vs. Wild is the next great show that people should watch on the Discovery Channel. It is about a man named Bear Grylls. He is considered an adventure and a survivalist. Those are some awesome titles to have. He puts himself out into nature and does everything he can to survive against the natural elements.
7 Show To Avoid: Amish Mafia
Amish Mafia is definitely a show that people would want to avoid. It doesn’t give an accurate portrayal of what Amish living is really like and because of that, we can pretty much tell that the show is heavily scripted and totally fake. If the show had more realness to it, it might be worth the watch.
6 Best Show To Watch: Deadliest Catch
Deadliest Catch is an interesting show to watch on the Discovery Channel. The show is about the highs and lows that a fishing crew faces as they go out into the ocean, pursuing the catch of massive amounts of sea creatures.
