I fear my days of watching Mike Rowe and "Dirty Jobs" may be coming to an end.
Lately his shows have been getting raunchy and just wrong. I suppose he's going for the "guy" audience, but consider this:
1. One recent episode featured neutering lambs by biting off their testicles and a puke-eating dog. (As Afton posted in my comments, that can be injurious to the dog. And she should know.)
2. Another recent episode featured Mike working in a mannequin factory where he did not miss a single chance to obviously grab the female mannequins by their breasts. The only thing he didn't do was look directly into the camera, wink and say, "Isn't that just the coolest thing? Did you see me feel up that mannequin?"
3. Tonight's episode featured him working at a gourd company where they were finishing the outsides of the gourds. He repeatedly asked the worker if they needed to take off more skin and continued going for incredibly lame jokes about circumcision and foreskins. The worker either totally didn't get it or just tried to ignore him in hopes he'd shut the hell up.
The show has always been a bit naughty but when you're at the point where you'd be embarrassed to watch it with young children or, in my case, with my parents, you know it's time to turn it off. Especially because -- really Mike -- it's just not that funny.
