Your Guide to the Discovery Channel

I love the Discovery Channel. Why? It’s the only “cable” channel we get in our “basic cable” package. Apparently that package means local programming + spanish channels + paid programming + Discovery Channel. Now that you understand why I’m a self-declared expert on the aforementioned channel, read on to learn more about the diverse programming found on Discovery…

Lets play a matching game! Try to match the description with the show:

  1. Freezing, Wet Jobs – Learn how hard it is to fish in the Bearing Sea (hint: you get cold and wet).
  2. Explosive Jobs – Explore the excitement behind blowing something up four different ways every week.
  3. Robber Jobs – Learn how easy it is to break into people’s houses and what to do to secure your own.
  4. Survival Jobs – Understand how much it would suck if you were stranded, deserted, or lost just about anywhere but downtown.
  5. Dirty Jobs – Learn about the occupations you intentionally try not to learn about.
  6. Psuedo-Science Jobs – See how science can look cool while learning absolutely nothing.
  7. Medical Jobs – A first-hand look at how gross it is to operate on people.
  8. Painful Jobs – Get your adrenaline up watching other people bike, ski, and fall from places you’d never visit.
  9. Construction Jobs – Learn how just about every complicated structure in the world is made and how it never goes right.
  10. Jobs – If a job hasn’t been explored in the above shows its explained here. Actually, there’s lots of overlap.
  • A. Extreme Engineering
  • B. It Takes A Thief
  • C. Man vs Wild
  • D. MythBusters
  • E. Dirty Jobs
  • F. FutureWeapons
  • G. Surgery Saved My Life
  • H. Deadliest Catch
  • I. How It’s Made
  • J. Stunt Junkies

There you have it. Every show on Discovery can be referred to as _____ Jobs. Did you figure out my clever game? Here are the answers (highlight to see them): [ H, F, B, C, E, D, G, J, A, I]

About Devin Reams

My name is Devin Reams and I founded this site to provide a useful news and review resource for Colorado skiers and snowboarders (and mountain enthusiasts). I've been skiing since I was a little kid (we moved out here when I was five years old) and I plan to ski for years beyond that. Although cosnow is not my full-time job it is my full-time winter hobby. I've been an "Epic Local" passholder since 2006 (when it was called a "Colorado Pass" or "Five Mountain Pass"). My favorite resorts are Beaver Creek and Breckenridge.

    There are not enough words to express my love of Man vs. Wild. The Rocky Mountains episode? Multiple levels of awesomeness. I’m waiting for another marathon so I can catch the Alaska episode my DVR missed.
