The History Channel is producing The Bible

Well, points for at least having some show that has something to do with some part of something that happened in the past.  But the History Channel doing the Bible?  To students of history, the History Channel is to historical studies what the National Enquirer is to quality journalism.  It wasn't always like that, but today I'd rather go to ESPN to learn about physics than go to the History Channel today to learn about the Bible. If I'm wrong, it's the channel's fault for teaching me not to trust what it has to say.
