But if it did stand for something, what do you think HISTORY would stand for?

From their list of Popular Shows, we get:

Counting Cars - Most people in Las Vegas bet with chips, but Danny “The Count” Koker bets with cars.
Appalachian Outlaws - Deep in Appalachia, a war is brewing over one valuable commodity: ginseng.
Ax Men - Timber markets have reached new heights, and logging companies are pushing harder than ever to cash in.
Top Gear - Hosts Tanner Foust, Adam Ferrara and Rutledge Wood embark on a new set of adventures as they test cars in extreme stunts, intense challenges and first-person reviews using their unique perspectives.

So...it seems pretty clear to me that history is not the theme uniting all those. What is? (And how can we wedge it into a HISTORY acronym?)

(h/t to @del for the idea to come up with acronyms)

Having Irrelevant Shows Toughens Our Ratings Yearly

History Is Something That Often Rarely Yields (postitive results)

It's funny, I was actually thinking about this just the other day.

American Pickers and Pawn Stars seem to be all that is on during the day. I miss the war documentaries that I could turn on and let play in the background while I snoozed on the couch.
