Discovery Channel - Dirty Jobs: Collection 1 (DVD, 2007, 2-Disc Set)

Mike Rowe. What is there to say. If you want an absolutly gut busting good time this is the set for you. Not only is it educational but extremely entertaining. This is a series that you can watch over and over.

Dirty Jobs has evolved abit over the course of its run. The show started kind of like an eager puppy. Energetic, goofy and often wildly out of line. It'd developed into a (more or less) polished exercise in erudition and professional examination.
One can tell that Rowe still digs his job, but that- inevitably- the newness of it is gone.
It's all there in this collection, however. While this version of the show is based on a local San Fransisco edition originally, there still manages to feel like a first year show. Maybe it's the broader scope he undertakes.
The most amazing thing about Mr. Rowe, aside from his insane tendency of doing the worst jobs in America on a weekly basis, is his spontaneous ability to quote from darn near any literary, Biblical, cinematic or classical source.
... and then there's the blooper reel. A standard on TV dvd's, I submit DJ's are the only ones with cursing AND Shakespeare.

Loved it. Will buy all of them as long as Discovery keeps making them. So, as Rowe pleads at the end of every episode, keep sending them suggestions for dirty jobs. My man crush's livelihood depends on it.

I would love to review this product, but I can't because I have yet to receive it and it's been almost a month since I ordered and paid for it. Gessica

My son is 9 and obsessed with this show. I was so pleased to find it on Ebay as this is not available in stores. Mike Rowe is hilarious and the show is informative for adults to watch as well.

I bought it for somebody who likes watching the show. It was a great buy and was in excelent condition. Two tumbs up!

How could you be disappointed with Mike Rowe?? Educational and funny at the same time. Thanks Mike!! Nice to see some of us still live in the REAL world!

I decided to buy this product because I had the second collection and I wanted to see all of the collections eventually.

In today's world, it's very hard for our youth to find a "Clean, Hard Working, Honest to Goodness" HERO!!!! Mike Rowe is very humble about his apporach to Other PEOPLES HARD work in the real world. He does not take all the credit, he also acknowlegdes that his camera MAN is a "UNSEEN HERO". Would love to have his job, just for a few days.

We SALUTE YOU Mike Rowe, you have given us a REAL HERO that exists in the "REAL WORLD", where REAL PEOPLE do unsual jobs. If you have never seen this you are missing out, my son watchs this every chance he gets. This has been the BEST TV TIME, that has been put out there in many decades. It's great for all ages, and all walks of life.

It's a gift haven't watched it yet. I have gotten it for Christmas looks to be in good shape though.

Mike Rowe is one of the funniest people on tv. The Dirty Jobs series is a down to earth type of show thet the whole family can enjoy!

The collection was a gift for a 14 yr old boy that is very interested in many of the jobs that are described on the video. So it was an educational as well and inspiring for him.

Excellent show the whole family can watch. You find out about some of the dirty jobs people do every day that would make most of us puke. Mike Rowe has a great sense of humor which makes the show all the more enjoyable. It is also a better buy to get these shows in a collection set instead of buying individual shows. I would highly recommend this one!

We love the DVD, Mike Rowe is definitly one of the funniest men with his dry sense of humor and little comments you miss if you aren't listening for the under the breath remarks! We laugh until our sides hurt. The Shark Week episode is the best! Enjoy! Definitly worth the money!

I enjoy dirty jobs because, mike rowe's sense of humor and irony (and slight dirtiness of the mind) usually leave me gasping for breath and reaching for my asthma medicine. dirty jobs kinda makes you appreciate your own not so dirty job...if you have the kind of job you don't like so much, or if you have a job period. loved this and always recommend it to anyone at all.
thank you for a wonderful show discovery dot com. i hope this show never goes off the air...

The best of the dirt, you think you have a low end job watch this and give yourself a boost. One of the best Tv videos out there.

Great DVD It's the dirtest! Mike is an excellant tv host for this show, he really knowns dirt and poo!

I used to watch Dirty Jobs while living in the US and it is brilliant, Mike is the perfect presenter for the show. I just wish they showed it on the TV in the UK.
