Know there are some on here that watch deadliest catch.  Wondering if anyone is watching this show (Ice Road Truckers).  Appears to me to be the History channel's version of deadliest catch think it's even the same producers.

Sitting at home sick and had the first few episodes of the show DVR'd.  Watched them this AM and afternoon and are actually pretty good.  Don't know if it will have the draw of Deadliest Catch, but, is entertaining.  Is educational.  Read about this a while back, but, not the same you see and hear the ice cracking and moving under these rigs, pretty eye opening.  Especially when you consider they are driving on ice over lakes.

I keep watching to see the truck go through... I know they have the footage since they show glimpses of it on all the previews.  It was pretty cool to see how they actually made the roads thicker with the drill and pumps.

I've been watching it and its pretty good.  Not sure that it is going to have much staying power though.  I could see it getting old to a lot of viewers pretty quick.

It already has for me.  They actually did a special on the ice road a couple years ago.  That was enough for me.  Besides, watching a truck drive across ice is pretty boring.  Watching a crab boat facing 30-60ft seas with an occasional rogue wave is absolutely terrifying.  

I'm hooked on Deadliest Catch and now also Ice Road Truckers, good show, I surely wouldn't do it!

Yes, I agree do not know if Ice Road Truckers will have staying power.  Its pretty good right now.  Enjoyed how they readied the rigs for -40F weather - that's just down right brutal.

I too am addicted to Deadliest Catch.  That show is awesome.  Even the mrs. has started watching that with me.  Enjoy Capt. Sig, his brother Edgar, Capt. John Hilstrand and Capt. Phil Harris - he's got some good boys there.  We have also been really enjoying the "After the catch" shows.  Very cool to see these guys off the boat and the respect they have for one another.  All those guys are the kind you want as friends - they are for real.
