those guys are nuts too

I am addicted to Discovery Channel, I watch it all day in the office.

Steve Lightspeed was telling me about this show the other day and I gotta tell you, these guys sound completely nuts!!

I guess this is all the latest in reality television, but I really like it better than "Fear Factor" and stuff like that.

I just caught the show for the first time this weekend and I must say,discovery channel is on a god damn good roll. My fav. ship is probably the time bandit,only because the captain looks just like jimthefiend :1orglaugh

I'm a huge fan of Deadliest Catch! Haven't really warmed up to Ice Drivers yet

My husband loves that show. He just added the second one about Ice truck drivers to Tivo. Those people are crazy to do those jobs.

the history channel is awesome.

I'll check it out...

Nice, am watching Deadliest Catch while working at the moment :)

I LOVE Man vs. Wild!

When is that on? Saw a commercial for it on You Tube, but I did not catch the time. It looked pretty good. Anyone know???

I bet you'd find a shit-stained driver's seat in that truck, and sprinting footprints in the snow leading away from it!

I found the entire first episode on youtube

I like Man vs Wild.

Alaskan "Lot Lizards"... can't wait.

Will check it. The Deadliest Catch is a badass show. I watch it when I can.

I have 15 pounds of king crab legs in my basement freezer. Every freakin time my g/f watches deadliest catch she craves crab legs and so do i.

Cant get enough of discovery, im truely addicted to Dirty Jobs, Deadliest Catch and Mythbusters.

i saw ice road truckers
this week (missed the premier )
im watchin it with my 4 year old and she asks "how thick is that ice" and i tell her "not even as thick as you are tall"... and she says " hey mom! those guys are bloody crazy!"

i agree with her.

Cool, it is available on itunes. I'll download it and watch it on the TV tonight. :thumbsup

Funny enough, Car and Driver magazine this month has an article about these guys, and the reality of the situation isn't anything like the "death wish" sort of vibe discovery tries to put on it.

Very, very few drivers have died (only a couple). The trucks driver very slowly (typically 15 mph) and are about 1 to 2 miles apart. They make long s turns going off the ice onto portages to avoid cracking the ice near the shore. The driver they interviewed basically said he would take his daughter with him on the trips except she had school or something, otherwise he would take her because they aren't really all that dangerous - it's more likely to get in an accident hauling down any given interstate on a day.

As for sinking, it happens occassionally, but for the most part it is a single axel or as the image shows a "drop" but not a totally sink to the bottom. It's just the nature of the game, and all happens at very, very slow speeds.

However, Discovery is very good at making the odd but reasonable look scary and risky. More power to them!

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Cheers to watching people brave the super cold in Alaska while we bask in the sun and eat pringles :)

Word, I can't see how watching a guy drive a truck would be worthy of a show. Pretty fucking boring if you ask me. Even if they only showed the crazy shit that happens they would only be able to fill up one episode a season if that.

it is indeed a kick ass show

wow good

i love that show! but 30K is not worth risking your life.

both really cool shows

Actually met Jonathan the captain of the Time Bandit last fall at a local bar. Guess it's one of his favorite haunts when he's at home. He was a kick.

The show is great. Ice Road Truckers is looking interesting too.

no shit i noticed that to!

discovery is teh shizzy!

Can't wait to see this one here. We lived in Yellowknife for a few years(What newfie hasn't! lol) and in the years we lived there only 1 went thru the ice, he was new and was speeding. Big fine for him too!! Been on the ice road as well and I can tell you, you do hear the cracking!

When I was in Yellowknife working with the airlines and I use to fly loadmaster into BHP with the loads it was nothing but tents in there... when I left 5 years BHP was a damn city with all the building etc! We use to go caribou hunting out on the ice roads and it's amazing to feel the water moving under you when those trucks are driving by!

As Raw Alex said those trucks are only allowed to go fast, actually anybody caught speeding on that road is fucked!

In the 5 years that I was there I only heard of one truck go through the ice and it's because the idiot drove over a part of the ice road that was closed!

I just watched it on You Tube and Discovery is really making it out to be a lot worst then it really is!

Alaska??? It's Canada, the Northwest Territories

Great show i watch that show all the time.

Thanks Buddy!!!

Deadliest Catch is great! Discovery channel rocks.
