Today’s recommendation is for Dirty Jobs, my favorite show on the Discovery Channel.

Dirty Jobs is about, just what that title says, Dirty Jobs.  And most of the time not just dirty, but filthy.  The show follows host Mike Rowe around as he goes to places people work, that happen to be very dirty jobs.  Mike goes to these places, and spends a day at each one, doing the parts of the different jobs for a day, though more often getting in the way than helping.

Each episode usually has 2-3 different jobs that Mike goes to.  For example, some of the jobs Mike has worked at in the past include being a coal miner, alpaca shearer, chimney sweeper, bridge painter, cave biologist, cranberry farmer, and snake wrangler.  And that is just a few, there have been a couple hundred different dirty jobs on the show.
