LAST EDITED ON Jan-07-11 AT 09:22AM (MST)[p]Its the same as Deadliest Catch, Axe Men, or Ice Road Truckers. These topics are somewhat interesting and fascinating, but get boring after a few episodes of the same thing. So the Discovery Channel has to try to make drama out of it by talking about quotas, time schedules, most pounds, most loads, a lot of arguing and posturing by the cast. Gets kinda lame. Watching crab fisherman was pretty fascinating to me for a while.......
Gold Rush is no different. I find it interesting about how they mine for it, but one season will be enough. And I will probably endure the drama that Discovery Channel imposes just so I can see how the operation is going to work.
That jackass on Ice Road Truckers got under my skin. The bear or whatever he was called. He needed a kick in the guts.
I am getting sick of the adds for Gold Rush where the old man says "No Guts No Glory" in a whiny nasty old voice.
I wish DC would just show a few episodes about these kinds of activities and move on to the next, and skip the drama.
