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...
