Dirty Jobs is a fantastic show. I was particularly impressed by the “Brown Before Green” earth day episode. Mike Rowe advocated a surprisingly free-enterprise approach to cleaning up the environment, with some hard-working folks making money doing exactly that. Very refreshing among the usual environmental finger-wagging.
I agree that the History Channel has gotten much too fluffy lately. They still run some good stuff now and then. The occasional “Ancient Discoveries” show is pretty good. The recent reality shows like “Surviving History”, on the other hand, are a disappointment. How’s the History International channel? My cable lineup doesn’t include it but the listings look pretty interesting and I’ve considered subscribing.
