There's a show called "Ice Road Truckers"?

My life has been so much better since I turned off cable.

I find Ice Road Truckers to be a hoot...it's really a loop kind of show: under rigs shots...sound track of crackling ice...whirling snow white-outs...drivers trying to make it up endless hills and then down endless hills...dramatic suspense created as the drivers try to shift into the correct gears as they go up and/or down the afore mentioned Hills...maniacal laughter from the long time drivers...putting on chains in snow storms...the constant complaining of the whiney new drivers as they set out in cabs without heat or other such annoyances...as contrasted by the stoic comments made by the veteran drivers....and, of course, the mind-boggling shots of the fucking enormous loads they haul around the frozen ice roads...

yeah, I know, it's a sad comment of what engages me on TV when I actually *watch*...rather than what it's mostly on for: as background to other household activities...I like it better than a lot of the other "reality" work related shows...I think it's the crunching of the ice, and the fact that they aren't really Killing anything as they work...no water creatures to be caught and killed, no living trees decimated....just drivin' drivin' and drivin'...and, of course that crazyland laughter from hough and alex!
