i used to watch a few of them quite a bit but then between seasons when
they repeat the episodes, i lost interest and never looked back... i'd
rather watch old episodes of Dr.Who, Top Gear, How do they do it?, and
similar with numerous forays to the military channel for some of their
informational shows over there...

Deadliest Catch was good until Captain Phil died... i just can't get into
it any more and it was getting rather boring before then, too...

Ice Road Truckers was also interesting but the first season or two had two
drivers that i just got to where i couldn't stand them... they moved on to
other areas and the show got better... then a couple of female drivers
joined in and the show was a bit more decent to watch... but like the
others, between seasons, they just get boring and loose the attention...

i've watched the flying show(s) a couple of times... they were alright for
what they were...
