You can't be serious. I already pay for this channel and it shows Dirty Jobs weekly. I refuse to pay for episodes. That explains why it's not on Discovery Go. Smh. Things like this are the types of things that turn customers away from your network. I'm astounded. Wow. That's not a good "Wow", either.

This was the best show on TV! Nobody is better for the part. Who else could be that sexy doing some pretty dirty jobs? Mike is funny as he can be. And I for one, as his future wife, would jump right in to any of those jobs with him any day of the week! He's such a sharp, level headed, creative, tenacious, and hard working. With traits like these, if I didnt know better, I'd think he's gay!
