This reality series follows the host as he learns to do a lot of jobs that are 'dirty'. Some clearly make the participant dirty, some are revolting and some are much more scary than anything else. Regardless, the show celebrates the people who do these jobs that make our lives easier.Mike Rowe starred in this disgusting but highly enjoyable series. In fact, the show was often so disgusting that I got to thinking why I enjoyed it and why it had so many episodes. I think the key is that Rowe has a really nice TV persona. You find that you like him due to many reasons, such as his easy-going manner, his self-deprecation and his ability to make the often dull seem a lot more interesting. So, while the show occasionally was so disgusting I found myself queasy, it balanced that with a fun style and likable host--and that was the only way it could have worked. Highly watchable despite the subject matter.

You've arrived Dirty Jobs. As imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. NBC has announced that it has a new show in its fall lineup (probably starting in January though)and "America's Toughest Jobs" is set to go. Yep, Imitation. Everybody does it, some do it well, but I'm surprised it took this long. Mike Rowe and the boys have got nothing to worry about. Unless they copied the entire show and not the concept, it will be a badly scripted, heavily edited, poorly acted knock-off. Did I mention that Joe Rogan is the host. "This" just screams for Joe (unless he's to busy with the UFC hosting gig, but it can't pay "that" well) so we'll have to wait and see won't we. Jeez, the producers of Dirty Jobs, have been asking viewers for ideas for a while now. I wonder, which ones will these guys copy? Remember that even at a great price (cheap) a knock off is a knockoff whether a Gucci Bag, a Rolex watch or the Best Damn Show on TV.

I've been watching "Dirty Jobs" for a while now. It is great fun to go behind the scenes of some of the most horrible jobs out there. People really do this kind of work!!!! The show is great, but I mainly watch for Mike. He is quick witted and keeps me rolling. He is very, very funny. He is such a good sport about pitching in and helping out with whatever task is given him. It doesn't matter how gross or outrageous, and trust me he gets himself into some pretty crazy situations. The show is put together very nicely and the camera crew is always going the extra mile to get the "dirtiest" shot they can. Check it out, I am sure you will get a kick out of this show!

This is a very entertaining documentary series i have been watching since it first started, love all the episodes, very funny show as well The host is a very interesting guy, adds a lot of fun to the experience of watching the show, watching him work at a dirty job (pig farm, solid waste treatment plant, etc) and its really amazing how dirty some jobs are, really makes u appreciate the job u got, because your thankful your job ain't as nasty as some of these jobs :) Dirty Jobs teaches a lot as well, very educational, seeing all the dirty parts of society that are necessary for our comfortable existence definitely a good show to watch for all u docu fans though, lets hope it stays on the air for a long while, because TV networks have a habit of canceling good shows before their time, and these people that work these dirty jobs deserve recognition for the jobs they do
