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:
- Freezing, Wet Jobs – Learn how hard it is to fish in the Bearing Sea (hint: you get cold and wet).
- Explosive Jobs – Explore the excitement behind blowing something up four different ways every week.
- Robber Jobs – Learn how easy it is to break into people’s houses and what to do to secure your own.
- Survival Jobs – Understand how much it would suck if you were stranded, deserted, or lost just about anywhere but downtown.
- Dirty Jobs – Learn about the occupations you intentionally try not to learn about.
- Psuedo-Science Jobs – See how science can look cool while learning absolutely nothing.
- Medical Jobs – A first-hand look at how gross it is to operate on people.
- Painful Jobs – Get your adrenaline up watching other people bike, ski, and fall from places you’d never visit.
- Construction Jobs – Learn how just about every complicated structure in the world is made and how it never goes right.
- 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]
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.
It’s a good one, for sure. Like MythBusters, the educational content may not be high but the entertainment value certainly is.
