since there aren't any jobs they ran out of dirty ones?

I guess they're all out of dirty jobs to feature in America. They're probably all unemployed now.

It was getting pretty stale. Now if they would kill off American chopper.

How coincidental.

Well, they were doing a good job of hiding any new episodes for the last year or so. I think they moved it around the schedule too much.

Rumor has it they asked Mike to be GD moderator for a day and he quit.

Yup. Plenty of the jobs recently haven't really been dirty at all. They're just jobs that suck.

Probably because people can't relate to what work is...

One of the few shows I enjoy.

maybe it's cause he's going to start campaigning for pres in 2016

The show kinda turned in to the same old shit.

Mike Rowe is a great guy it's a shame we lose dirty kobs for some of the other crap they've been putting out

Gee - after Rowe's endorsement of Romney, you don't suppose the cancellation notice had a 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue return address, do you?

Sure glad there is a real show about real moonshiners.

I was just kidding about the real part.

Show had ran its course

Mike Rowe is doing Ford adds and making the big $$ now.

Seems people are getting tired of reality tv BS. The networks went way overboard with that crap.

I think it had about run its course. Running out of dirty jobs and turning into hard or unusual jobs.

I think they need to draw all those shows together and start the inbred hillbilly rednaeck network

IHRN

And my apologizes to Rednecks, Hillbillies and the inbred.

Hope Mike hosts something else awesome. He is a great tv show host and just a great speaker. Seems like a really good guy all around too.

'American Chopper' ending after 10 years ––

The Teutuls are going to build their final bikes on the network next month. One of Discovery’s most popular programs, American Chopper helped pioneer the "docusoap” reality genre and inspired a surge of gear-head shows. Chopper‘s run will conclude with the previously announced four-way bike build-off special titled The Revenge airing live from Las Vegas on Dec. 11.

When I make another movie, I plan to contact Mike Rowe's agent (no joke). I'm more excited about working with him than half all of Hollywood

It never fails.

Whenever Dirty Jobs goes off the air for a few months, people start to wonder if the show has been canceled. Rumors begin to swirl, and questions about the show’s future fill my inbox. Over the years it’s been my pleasure to assure anxious fans that Dirty Jobs is coming back for another season. And indeed, we always have. Alas, this year, I’m afraid I cannot dispel the rumors. A few weeks ago, I was officially informed that Dirty Jobs had entered into a new phase. One I like to call, “permanent hiatus.” Or in the more popular industry vernacular, canceled.

My first instinct was to immediately pass the news on to you, but frankly, it’s taken me a few weeks to digest. Dirty Jobs is a very personal show, and it’s difficult for me to imagine a future that does not involve exploding toilets, venomous snakes, misadventures in animal husbandry, and feces from every species. Nevertheless, the future is here, and while it does not appear to contain any more Dirty Jobs, it will almost certainly include another Thanksgiving. So in the spirit of the holiday, I’d like to thank those people most responsible for reinvigorating my erstwhile career, and launching the most honest show in the history of reality TV.

Damn shame Dirty Jobs is ending.

One of the better shows on cable and certainly TV.

I enjoyed watching Mike and his team explore different jobs that keep society running.

Id be suprised if those make it past second season. The majority of reality shows are getting very low ratings.
