    I think it's fun to watch, but I worked my way through college by rough-necking on drilling rigs.  When I graduated, I went to work for an oil field service company.  Guess what?  Right back to the drilling rigs for the next sixteen years.  The reason I think the program is fun to watch is that it has no similarity to real life.  It is obvious the producers and camera people have no clue about what is really going on, so they make up dialog and film footage to fit the point they are trying to make.  It gets really funny at times.

    A reality show based on fiction.

    I'm shocked  :o
