Product Description

DIRTY JOBS is an unflinching look at the unsung American Worker, and the unusual but vital vocations that must be done. There is much to be learned from watching DIRTY WORK as each week host Mike Rowe introduces the viewer to an elite assortment of men and women who make their living doing the most unthinkable jobs. LITHO PRESS Mike Rowe rolls up his sleeves and gets dirty operating an antique printing press that makes fine art lithographs. Mike inks up the rollers and gets the giant gears turning in an attempt to make a limited edition Dirty Jobs poster. After a full days work, Mike has a new appreciation for the men and women who get dirty in the printing business. TERRACOTTA Mike Rowe joins forces with the largest terracotta manufacturer in the United States and he learns quickly that turning red clay into architectural ornaments is a very dirty job. Mike finds himself up to his elbows in plaster as he makes molds that will later be filled with red clay to make highly decorative building facades. Decorative terracotta tiles have adorned many of America's architectural masterpieces since the late 1800's. GARBAGE PIT TECHNICIAN Mike Rowe teams up with a group of garbage collectors that are converting trash into electricity. It's a smelly proposition that has Mike up to his knees in other people's garbage but in the end he learns that some dirty jobs are helping to preserve the environment.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good show, but only one episode per disk!, September 15, 2007

By	Daniel Davis (Placentia, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Have enjoyed "Dirty Jobs" on TV for years, but nearly $20 for ONE Episode (less than one hour!) is insane. There are three jobs in the episode, but there should be at least twice as much material for the price.

1.0 out of 5 stars $22 for one episode? Are they serious?, November 15, 2007

By	Thomas Obrien "Personalized Signature" (Virginia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Elsewhere on Amazon they have a 3 disc collection of Dirty Jobs, 494 minutes, for $17.

This one seems to be one disc, one episode, for $22. It is significant that they do not have the number of discs or running time like they do with 98% of the DVD's Amazon sells. I assume it was the manufacturer and not Amazon that left it off, because Amazon seems concerned with customer satisfaction.

My wife likes the show and I would like to buy an entire season, like any other tv show on DVD, for a reasonable price. If I somehow bought this one by accident I would be furious.

1.0 out of 5 stars $20+ for just 1 show? Kidding me, right? I'm being punked !?!?!, January 9, 2008

By	Cary Chan (Brooklyn, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

1 episode, great !!! $20 plus . No Way !!!

For $20 plus these days you can get a whole season of other TOP shows.

Even Season 1 had all the episodes for this price.

What gives?

I would only buy it if I was on the show, but otherwise for 1 show, NO WAY !!!
