Every once in a while you find a host for a show which is perfectly suited for the job. In this case Mike Rowe is the perfect host for Dirty Jobs. He is funny, interesting and informative. He has a knack for helping the viewers understand what it would be like to do this Dirty Job. Season 1 has some of the most memorable moments of the whole series. My favorite episode was the Pig farmer. Watching Mike Rowe try to catch the pigs and move them to where they need to go is hysterical. Other favorite episodes were Monkey Caretaker, Ostrich Rancher, Shark Patroller, Casino Food Recycler and Coal Miner. This is a great series.

Dirty Jobs has evolved abit over the course of its run. The show started kind of like an eager puppy. Energetic, goofy and often wildly out of line. It'd developed into a (more or less) polished exercise in erudition and professional examination. One can tell that Rowe still digs his job, but that- inevitably- the newness of it is gone. It's all there in this collection, however. While this version of the show is based on a local San Fransisco edition originally, there still manages to feel like a first year show. Maybe it's the broader scope he undertakes. The most amazing thing about Mr. Rowe, aside from his insane tendency of doing the worst jobs in America on a weekly basis, is his spontaneous ability to quote from darn near any literary, Biblical, cinematic or classical source. ... and then there's the blooper reel. A standard on TV dvd's, I submit DJ's are the only ones with cursing AND Shakespeare. Loved it. Will buy all of them as long as Discovery keeps making them. So, as Rowe pleads at the end of every episode, keep sending them suggestions for dirty jobs. My man crush's livelihood depends on it.Read full review
In today's world, it's very hard for our youth to find a "Clean, Hard Working, Honest to Goodness" HERO!!!! Mike Rowe is very humble about his apporach to Other PEOPLES HARD work in the real world. He does not take all the credit, he also acknowlegdes that his camera MAN is a "UNSEEN HERO". Would love to have his job, just for a few days. We SALUTE YOU Mike Rowe, you have given us a REAL HERO that exists in the "REAL WORLD", where REAL PEOPLE do unsual jobs. If you have never seen this you are missing out, my son watchs this every chance he gets. This has been the BEST TV TIME, that has been put out there in many decades. It's great for all ages, and all walks of life.
This is a look into jobs that the everyday working person would hate to do. In fact, the majority of people would stick their noses up at these jobs. Mike Rowe did a great job and my favorite is the "Ostrich Farm".

Excellent show the whole family can watch. You find out about some of the dirty jobs people do every day that would make most of us puke. Mike Rowe has a great sense of humor which makes the show all the more enjoyable. It is also a better buy to get these shows in a collection set instead of buying individual shows. I would highly recommend this one!
