Product Description
Product Description
In a totally unscripted format, DIRTY JOBS is a gauntlet of danger, fear, and humiliation, steadfastly endured by our intrepid host. Rowe assumes the duties of the job in question and works alongside Sewer Inspector, Zoo Poop Picker Uppers, Road Kill Collectors, Chinatown Garbage collector, Pig farmer... Average folks doing extraordinary work that simply must get done. Rowe is a tremendously good sport, and a perfect conduit between worker and viewer. His interactions are both earnest and ironic, and the results are enlightening, horrifying, hilarious, and very, very, real. In the end, viewers are left with an appreciation for hard working people, and a better understanding of what it takes to tackle tough jobs. No one will watch these segments and say, "That's a job I'd like to try," but everyone will be glad that somebody else is doing them. 5 Episodes: The Dirty Truth, Dirty Conversation, Dirty DNA, Dirty Infrastructure, Dirty Holidays

Great DVD - Somewhat Misleading Title

This is a great DVD for Dirty Job fans however I believe the title is misleading. I think it should have been "Dirty Jobs - The Specials" This DVD has the special episodes of Dirty Jobs that are never included in the full dvd seasons or the Dirty Job Collection dvds. The rather general product description fails to include the specifics of what the DVD includes:
1. The Dirty Truth
Mike Rowe serves up an alternative to worn out cliches with six hard-earned lessons gleaned from 250 Dirty Jobs.
2. Dirty Conversations
Mike is joined by long-time fans, Carolyn and Marilyn Maedel for a look at never-before-seen footage featuring unusual, skewed, and quirky conversations he's had with a colorful array of characters
3. Dirty DNA
Mike is joined by his own mom and dad as he takes a look back at the family businesses he has visited over the years.
4. Dirty Infrastructure
Mike reviews America's Infrastructure Report Card, issued by the American Society of Civil Engineers, as he pays tribute to the men and women who fight an uphill battle working to keep the infrastructure from crumbling.
5. Dirty Holidays
On this special episode, Mike revisits the holiday jobs he has worked. From turkeys and reindeer to cranberries and parade floats, Mike shows us the dirt, sweat, and poop that go into the jobs that get us ready for the holidays.
I do wish it had included all of the special DJ episodes but this is a definite start on some of the best special episodes so far.

Thanks to Mike Rowe for this wonderful dvd, that shows real life and real hard work, which no one wants to do it, what what has to be done. I own 7 seasons of Dirty Jobs and they are all great.
