I think what keeps me coming back to Dirty Jobs is the variety of people you get to meet. Every job shows a different part of the nation and the faces and personalities that go with it. Is the next worker Mike going to meet going to come off as annoyed that he's there? Are they going to be easy-going and willing to laugh with him? Are they going to be bat$%!@ crazy? (Yeah, you know the ones I'm talking about.) Secondly, is being exposed to the intricacies of employment that a lot of us don't like to think about. The unsung heroes of our nation breeding our beef, sorting our trash, and doing our research truly have an outlet to be able to pull off their masks and goggles and suits and wave hello to the rest of America. I don't even have to mention Mike Rowe is the pinnacle of interest here. I think the charming aspect is that despite how incredibly intelligent, attractive, and talented he is (Yes, Mike, I hear that operatic singing there), Mike is still willing to get down and dirty for the watchers. He's truly a symbol of entertainment, and I think we all get a sort of sick enjoyment out of his torture. His humor is two-faced with both sides being pretty funny: sometimes he will poke fun at himself at the drop of a hat, and other times he'll share a subtle lifted-eyebrow at the antics of his fellow workers, as if sharing an inside joke with us at their expense. In conclusion, if you haven't seen this show already, put your butt in that seat and turn it on. Grow an appreciation for these people and the fact that you probably don't ever have to be one of them. Oh, one more thing. Hold off on lunch until you've forgotten what you've seen.

This is one of the best shows on television today, hands down. For sure the best reality show on TV. Mike Rowe explains different jobs which keep America running as a country. Trust me, and Mike for that matter that these are not your everyday office jobs. These jobs are disgusting! But honestly, the filth of the show just adds to the excitement. Mike Rowe will make ANYBODY in ANY circumstance laugh. Then, at the end of it, Rowe usually explains that the show is a tribute to the men and women who get down and dirty every day of their lives just so that we, the general population of America, can live our lives on a day-to-day basis. Just give the show a chance to help Rowe appreciate these men and women, and if you do, I promise, you won't be disappointed.

Instead of the pompous type of show we've become inured to, Dirty Jobs is a show that doesn't take itself too seriously. Host Mike Rowe shows us what the people who keep our lives clean do to make them that way. From cleaning up chewing gum, cleaning out sewers, working the salt mines, tarring roofs and more, Mike shows us what's involved in those nasty little jobs we don't think about and what those who do them for us experience every single workday.Mike has a self-deprecating sense of humor, and I've never seen him shy away from getting dirty. He's literally been right there underneath it all when the charcoal dust fell. Somehow, I can't see a lot of other hosts putting themselves in that position.

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
