Ice Road Truckers

Ice Road Truckers It's a show about truckers who deliver very imporant items to Dimond mine's up in North Eastern Canada. The only way the truckers can deliver these items to the mine's is by use of a ice road over water. And they only have about two months to deliver as many items as they can.

Its an ok show, it just make truckers look stupid with them saying the f-word and that every other word, they're actually pretty smart and usually awesome drivers. I don't think it makes much of a show, though, I'd rather watch Mythbusters put bug spray and ammo on a fire.

The first season only had ten episodes?

I agree with vskid. I rather see two guys shooting turkeys out of a cannon.

The show itself isn't bad, but it feels like a thrown-together answer to a particular Discovery Channel series... That's why I like to call it "Deadliest Catch On Ice".

I don't want to know what their answers to Mythbusters and Dirty Jobs will be...

I hate Ice Road Truckers. It wants to be Deadliest Catch, but it isn't, therefore it's boring. TV shows that emulate others don't go over too well. Look at all of the American Idol clones that sprouted up after the craze.

Probably something like "History's Misconceptions" for Mythbusters, and "Filthy Restorations" or something.

I really find Ice Road Truckers boring.

Why did you post a link to a site with no content?

Also, plurals don't have apostrophes, possessives do.

You realize of course all those channels are the same company? IE how American Chopper moves effortlessly to TLC, etc.

The kicker for ICT is all the shots of trucks going in ice for for previews, and the underwater cams - they are all clearly staged. Nothing actually happens in the show!

Deadliest Catch was alright until Discovery Channel starting running 22 hours of it per day.

I personally like Overhaulin' and some American Chopper. Mythbusters has been kind of... off this season.

History Channel isn't, though there must be some sort of partnership, I'm pretty sure I've seen Discovery commercials on the History Channel and vice-versa. TLC for me went down the drain when cool stuff like Junkyard Wars and Robot Wars stopped and they added retarded stuff like Miami Ink. Maybe I'm just a violent child and if a gun isn't fired or an explosion doesn't happen at least once per episode, I just don't like it.

Ya, it must have something to do with Adam growing a full beard, though aerosol cans exploding was good.
