Product Description
Huge risks. Huge rewards.
HISTORY continues its huge success story with SEASON FIVE of ICE ROAD TRUCKERS. For two months every year, truckers on the world's most dangerous tundra make history by hauling vital equipment to remote outposts hundreds of miles north of civilization - over roads briefly built by frozen bodies of water. Hugh, Alex, Lisa and Jack race against time, the elements and each other to transport thousands of loads before the road literally disappears into the sea. This groundbreaking series continues to examine a time-honored profession that dates back almost a century, often through generations of families.
Experience all 16 episodes of this exhilarating series on 4 DVDs.

Looks like yet another tv show that released a few seasons on blu-ray and then went back to dvd only. I love the show and will probably buy this on dvd but I just hate when 1 or 2 seasons are released in a superior format and then we are forced to go back and buy later seasons again just on dvd. Hopefully they will still decide to put this season along with Deadliest Roads season two on blu-ray but it's not looking like it.

Big Rig Adventure And Danger: The Popular History Channel Series Drives Through 16 More Episodes
March 30, 2012
Format:DVD
If you are shopping Season Five of History's engaging docu-series "Ice Road Truckers," it's fair to assume that you are already a fan. Since its debut in 2007, the show has provided big ratings for the network and its popularity has helped to restructure the entire network's programming slate. You know the drill. For two months a year, big rig hauling over the tundra is necessary to supply remote outposts before the eventual thaw. It's a dangerous profession as we're informed on EACH and EVERY episode. After five years, I think we get it! In truth, everything that you need to know about the job specifics of ice road trucking was covered long ago. The show's success now firmly rests on its cast of characters who can be both likable and somewhat abrasive.
The 16 episodes that comprise this 4 disc set bring you the latest antics of Hugh, Alex, Lisa and Rick as well as many others in the profession. If you like the show, obviously this is an easy recommendation. My personal thought is that we've pretty much covered every topic conceivable in the last five seasons and I'm not as enthusiastic about the show as I was several years ago. I'm obviously in the minority, however, as viewership when it aired on History rose 30% between the fourth and fifth seasons. And am I the only one that gets exhausted by narrator Thom Beers?
Here's a break-down of the episodes: The product description proclaims that there are 15 episodes, but there are 16 in total for the season.
(1) Pushing the Edge, (2) Ice Road Rage, (3) Wrong Turn & Burned, (4) Fire on Ice, (5) Under the Hammer, (6) The Braking Point, (7) A Banged-Up Job, (8) Meltdown!, (9) Road to Nowhere, (10) Rookie Rebellion, (11) Hittin' The Skids, (12) No More Mr. Nice Guy, (13) Ice Rogue Trucker, (14) The Heat Is On, (15) Judgement Day, and (16) The Last Dash.
Although not offered on Blu-ray, the video quality on this presentation is solid. For enthusiasts, the set does include bonus footage. It didn't add a lot to the experience for me, but some of it is fun to check out. KGHarris, 3/12.

I'm usually not interested in watching something like this show, but I am amazed with it. It is very interesting to watch. I could even sit down and watch it by myself (without the spouse). They have alot of nerve to do what they do. I give them thumbs up. Sure enjoy Alex's little sayings. Good job.

Should have been sub-titled "Tale of Two Rookies"
Liked the contrast between Maya's and Dave's attitudes. The outcome showed whose attitude was correct. Good principles taught here. Excellent show.
