Do you want the good news or the bad news first? The bad news is that Ancient Aliens has apparently been renewed for a fourth season, according to lead ancient astronaut theorist Giorgio Tsoukalos. This means another dozen or so episodes of repetitive, fact-free nuttiness. The good news? The History Channel has apparently grown tired of the program bringing down their channel's reputation for quality programming about junk pickers, miners, and truckers. According to Tsoukalos, the new season of Ancient Aliens is being moved to H2, History's little-watched sister station, where it will have a much lesser impact than on the main channel.
I guess if Ancient Aliens must exist, it's better that it's on an obscure digital-tier channel that relatively few people will ever watch. H2 averages 196,000 viewers in prime time, according to Broadcasting and Cable. Ancient Aliens had drawn between 1.3 and 2 million weekly viewers during its run on the History Channel.

Jason. Your comment that AA is full of fact free nuttiness is completely false No person can dispute the existence of these various buildings and temple complexes! The most compelling evidence are the ones that exist underwater in places that were on dry land only during the last ice age. Between 9 and 32000 years ago, at a time when humans supposedly were still nomadic tribes using sticks and stones to hunt for

Dear Jason, I am a Native American Indian and watched Ancient Aliens,too. My uncle was on an episode of the Zuni star people. His name is Chester Mahooty. I do not believe in his views because its based on superstition. I looked to the Holy Bible to find our geneology. The book of Genesis has the table of nations. There are three types of people Japheth-Caucasian, Shem Chinese/Mongoloid and Ham-black. Genesis 10:25 states that Heber had two sons Joktan and Peleg. Genesis 10:30 states that Joktan went to the Far East. They became what we know as the Chinese people. Peleg's branch went to the Mid East and became the Israelite people. Sinning against God took its toll and he banished us from the Holy Land. Our people are in exile to this day. He sent us to the four corners of the Earth, until he gathers us back during the End of the Age. That time is now! The Apocolypse is the unveiling, when he takes the reproach away from our people. Jesus wants all people to come to him. He says in his Word "Salvation is for the Gentiles". We just have to stop believing in fairy tales and beleive in the Lord Jesus Christ and we will be saved! He makes away out for all people. God Bless You!
