History Channel ^ | June 8, 2008 | NewLand

[NewLand]

Best show on TV starts tonight...The Ice Road Truckers are back for a new challenge: Killer storms, monster loads, and this year, they're on the Arctic Ocean!!!

[NewLand]

Can't miss TV if you're into real life, rough & tumble, hard working people doing one of the most dangerous, stressful, crazy, yet interesting jobs on the planet!

This FReeper popular series should make your TiVO seasons pass or DVR weekly list.

[Eye of Unk]

I’ll pass, saw last seasons misadventures, personally it reminds me too much of what I have to do during our long winters in Alaska, I drive a concrete mixer and its no joy ride driving on icy roads, I swore last winter would be my last, if i save a bit more from the summer season hopefully I can skip driving all winter, or head down to Floriduh.

[NCBraveheart]

Can’t wait! Let’s see how many trucks Drew can wreck this season

[DemforBush]

Like the guys working the crabbing boat off the coast of Alaska in that other adventure program (forget the name) ice trucking is one of those things I’ll be happy to watch from afar (as in on the tv). No way in HECK I could do that job!

Great show, though. :)

[NewLand]

(((( . . . PING! . . . )))

[Bobkk47]

Ice Road Truckers is OK but I’m looking forward to the 3rd season of Survivor Man, which starts in the Fall.

[NewLand]

Sunset on the Ice Road...

[buck jarret]

I love Survivor Man. And I prefer the crab fishermen over their rivals, the ice truckers.

[Poison Pill]

Not a bad show at all. But I miss the days when the History Channel showed stuff about history.

[NewLand]

The trucks...

Survivor man is cool. One of this shows took an incident where a young couple with their baby were stranded in the Utah snow. He had exactly the same things they had and using only his knowledge he walked out without any problems. Amazing.

Then there is Man vs. wild, where he does stupid stuff and stays in hotels eating pancaked between camera shoots.

[ChocChipCookie]

For real-life harrowing adventures, we watch Jon & Kate Plus 8. Two six year-olds and six two year-olds.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Not a bad show at all. But I miss the days when the History Channel showed stuff about history.

Exactly. Ever notice that Discovery Channel & National Geographic are doing the same thing too? Producing reality based shows instead of stuff that's relevant to their namesake?

[NewLand]

I miss the days when the History Channel showed stuff about history

True...but at least this show offers much to learn about a part of the world and a variety of people and businesses that most of us know little about.

[Nachoman]

The truckers endure a savage beating at the pump, on the next Ice Road Truckers!

[Bommer]

Fun show. I'll sum up Season One for you:
Guys get huge money to drive trucks on ice and bitch about it!

Season Two however:
Guys get huge money to bitch about driving trucks on ice.

My wife's favorite show, she already made it clear the TV is hers at 9:00.

(I'll be getting ready for bed anyway ;-D)

[xp38]

Well...if the loaded truck breaks the ice and falls through it’s history!

[Continental Soldier]

“Best show on TV.”

LOL You’ve got to be kidding! Hard to think of anything more boring than that tube-turkey! What could be next on the horizon of ‘actual TV?’— maybe a show about the hazards of septic tank cleaning? — or, maybe the daily adventures of highway line painters? LOL Please, stop it while there is time! LOL

[Vision]

Watching the repeats now. It’s a pretty good show.

[Poison Pill]

What could be next on the horizon of ‘actual TV?’— maybe a show about the hazards of septic tank cleaning?

LOL! There actually IS a popular show about that. It's called: "Dirty Jobs."

[rllngrk33]

...maybe a show about the hazards of septic tank cleaning? — or, maybe the daily adventures of highway line painters?

FYI, it's already been done. Dirty Jobs on the Discovery channel.

[NewLand]

“Best show on TV.” LOL You’ve got to be kidding!

You caught me! Yeah, I was kidding. We all know American Idol is really the best show on TV...just wanted to see who's awake out there.

/s

[NewLand]

LOL! But this year they drive over the Arctic Ocean...this is the BIG TIME! :-D

[NewLand]

My wife's favorite show

Same here...and that happens to be little rebel...a famous lurker! Right honey? :-O

[NewLand]

It’s a pretty good show.

Who has become your favorite driver? Alex?

[Vision]

I like them all except for that whiny new guy with the broken down truck who left. What a loser. Felt bad for TJ and the chest injury.

[NewLand]

On the air!

[Lawgvr1955]

I’ve never driven an 18 wheeler. But it seems I have almost as many trips up the Ice Road as Drew.

[colorado tanker]

I love Alex. What a class act - and a family man and man of faith too. Instead of leaving Rick behind because Rick didn’t read his stuff and didn’t know what the speed limit is, he waited on the goober.

[colorado tanker]

I loved it! My daughter and I call Drew “The Whiner” and know he'll never last the season. But we couldn't believe it when he actually quit before he'd even hauled one load! And then when his wife reminded him he's above the Arctic Circle without a job and asked what he was going to do now, the moron looked like the question had never occurred to him!

[boogerbear]

Found this show pretty boring last year. I think it’s the lack of interaction, most of the show is fat guys complaining to the camera. What they do was interesting for like 2 shows but after that same crap different load.

[cdbull23]

Deadliest Catch! That is an awesome show...

[Cyber Liberty]

Yeah, Drew had me laughing too. I knew he wouldn't last the season (again), but he didn't last one show....

Plus, I've known people like that...never occurs to them the consequences of walking off a job.

[colorado tanker]

Betcha next week Drew goes begging for his job back. It didn’t sound like his wife was gonna send him money for a plane ticket home! :-))

[Cyber Liberty]

Not this time, no.
