Movie Reviews of Dirty Jobs: Collection 1
Movie Review: Good Dirty Fun
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been fascinated with "Dirty Jobs" since the show came out on the Discovery Channel. Host, Mike Rowe's willingness to go spend a day doing the jobs of people we take for granted (charcoal makers, sewer inspectors, hot tar roofers and just all kinds of unheard of and thoughtless jobs that keep American's enjoying life) has absolutely both intrigued me and astonished me that there are so, so many -- well -- dirty jobs out there! Add in Mike's sense of humor, and you have a show you just have to watch.
I was and am thrilled to have this collection, and I do hope that it's just the first of many.
Thanks Mike. And, thanks to all of you who make our lives a little bit easier.
Movie Review: Great Fun
Summary: 5 Stars
Thank goodness there are people willing to do (and even enjoy) these jobs. Our society would descend into chaos without them. The host is outstanding. Mike Rowe clearly respects these workers, but he also is great at deadpan humor. Thoroughly entertaining and informative. This collection is certainly a better value than buying individual episodse on DVD, though I wish Dirty Jobs was available on iTunes like Mythbusters. I certainly hope that these Discovery Channel collections will eventually include all episodes. It's hard to be sure because they do not follow the standard seasonal organization of most other TV DVDs.Movie Review: Great for Classroom Career Study!
Summary: 5 Stars
I used this each Friday teaching a summer school career course for upper middle & high schoolers. While we worked for 4 days researching what jobs they might be interested in, we learned of these jobs they probably never anticipated! Best way to learn......through humor...& Mike Rowe, his crew & Discovery Channel do an excellent job in this! Yes, some students gagged at the "Sewer Inspector" piece but they also admitted they never even thought about the necessity of someone doing this. Thank you, Discovery Channel, for an outstanding program.Movie Review: Simply Fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great collection of some of the Dirty Jobs programs as viewed on Discovery Channel. Gives an insight into some of the worst jobs that some of us do for a living. Expertly hosted by Mike Rowe who is not afraid to get stuck in, and trys his hand at a wide range of dirty jobs which most of us would avoid at all costs. Mike throws in a bit of humour which makes the programs even more interesting. At times we are thankful there is not 'smell-a-vision'!.
Can't wait for collection 2 to come out on DVD.
Movie Review: Love Mike Rowe
Summary: 5 Stars
Cable TV has just become to expensive I canceled it all but the basic package which cut my cost to cable by over $50 a month. My son and I loved the Discovery chanel so I have taken to purchasing the dvd's to the programs he most liked on Discovery. We love being able to watch what we want when we want and now he no longer has access to TRASH TV.
I admit I enjoy Dirty Jobs more than my son and continue to collect all of the DVD's.
