"Ancient Aliens"

When it came to programs like Ancient Aliens there was usually one positive things I could say about it.
It inspires interest. Interest in history, interest in archaeology, and to me that was something worthy to be gained from the show.
However, recently I've come to change my opinion.
Ancient Aliens fuels entertainment, and among those who are entertained are those who have an interest in archaeology and history anyway.
However, there are many people who just want to be entertained, and won't pursue what's presented on the show any further than the half hour program itself.
Which is a shame. History itself is as entertaining, more interesting than the awkwardly racist and inept stories handed out by Ancient Aliens.
Another issue, it seems to me, is that it makes it harder to sell real history programs. Much like any program trying to take a skeptical look on the paranormal, they always have to include, at the end, something to leave the mundane conclusion questionable.
