Di$covery Channel Sinks to New Low

I'm actually going to miss Cash Cab.  I'm going to miss yes, even Dirty Jobs.  I'm going to miss MythBusters.  I'm going to miss The FBI Files, Deadliest Catch, and Smash Lab.

FOR THREE STRAIGHT HOURS.

I wrote to them to complain.  I got a (no surprise here) form letter.

One that contained this:

The Emmy®-nominated series DIRTY JOBS continues its fourth season on Tuesday, October 7 at 9 PM (ET/PT) with 11 world premiere episodes.  With strong convictions and an even stronger stomach, host Mike Rowe will try his hand at tar rigging, abandoned mine shaft plugging and sheep castrating this season, just to name a few.  It’s a dirty job, but somebody’s gotta do it.

Colour me gone.
