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!!!
This FReeper popular series should make your TiVO seasons pass or DVR weekly list.
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.
Can’t wait! Let’s see how many trucks Drew can wreck this season
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. :)
Ice Road Truckers is OK but I’m looking forward to the 3rd season of Survivor Man, which starts in the Fall.
I love Survivor Man. And I prefer the crab fishermen over their rivals, the ice truckers.
Not a bad show at all. But I miss the days when the History Channel showed stuff about history.

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.
For real-life harrowing adventures, we watch Jon & Kate Plus 8. Two six year-olds and six two year-olds.
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?
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.
The truckers endure a savage beating at the pump, on the next Ice Road Truckers!
Season Two however:
Guys get huge money to bitch about driving trucks on ice.
(I'll be getting ready for bed anyway ;-D)
Well...if the loaded truck breaks the ice and falls through it’s history!
“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
Watching the repeats now. It’s a pretty good show.
