People don't have perspective on how the world works, and what it takes for a country like the good old US of A to function over the course of a single day.
Enter Mike Rowe and the crew of the Discovery Channel's reality-show hit "Dirty Jobs."
Rowe and his dedicated crew who appear on camera from time-to-time spend each episode taking a look at one or several of the stranger, dirtier, and often just plain disgusting jobs that many people have to do (or choose to do), that most others couldn't comprehend. Ever wonder what happens to buffet food after it goes bad? Ever wonder how a sewage backup into a basement is cleaned out? Ever wonder how a turkey farm or leather tannery works? Ever wonder who collects the roadkill of the streets? This show will give you the answers, and so much more.
The format is pretty simple. Mike meets up with the works who do the dirty job in question, he learns a little about the why's and how's, and he gets to work, doing their job alongside them. And it's usually disgusting, hilarious and informative.
Rowe is an engaging, likable host. Sort of the classic masculine American man with a quick wit. He's got great hosting chops and a likable, respectful (yet still humorous and joking) attitude. He's the cool guy at the bar whose always got a joke or a story and shakes everyone's hand with a smile.
And the show itself is well-made. The jobs are always interesting, and it gives you a respect for the people who make our lives easier by handling the dirty work we'd rather not think about.
This is one of the best Reality shows on TV now, and I love it. Give it a watch, though make sure you have a strong stomach. A 10 out of 10.
