From The TV IV

Dirty Jobs is the Discovery Channel's look at the unappealing, unsanitary, or simply unbelievable work that goes on all over the United States every day. Host Mike Rowe visits workers and learns their trades. He then puts what he learns into action, performing the dirty job himself. From diving for golf balls to recycling sludge, Rowe suffers for the amusement and edification of the television audience.

[edit] Summary

Dirty Jobs has so far had two kinds of releases: season sets and collections. The seasons set are only available from the Discovery Channel store. The first one released was Season 1, which included all of the pilot and season 1 episodes as well as the first season 2 episode. The sets labeled Season 2 and after are mistitled, because instead of starting with the second season, they start with the third season. So the Season 2 set includes all 23 regular episodes and 1 special episode from season 3 and first episode from season 4, and the Season 3 set includes the rest of the regular episodes from season 4 and the first 11 episodes of season 5. The collections, which are available outside of the Discovery Channel stores, include various assortments of episodes.
