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.
score 9/10
