This sucks.
From the Baltimore Sun: Baltimore native and Towson University graduate Mike Rowe informed fans on Thanksgiving Eve that the Discovery Channel show he hosted, "Dirty Jobs," was no more.
Rowe, the show's creator and executive producer, wrote on his blog that it was canceled:
"A few weeks ago, I was officially informed that Dirty Jobs
had entered into a new phase," Rowe wrote on his blog. "One I like to
call, 'permanent hiatus.' Or in the more popular industry vernacular,
canceled."
"Dirty Jobs" was a reality show in which Rowe and
his crew traveled across the country to document some of the most
unsavory jobs.
"Dirty Jobs is a very personal
show, and it's difficult for me to imagine a future that does not
involve exploding toilets, venomous snakes, misadventures in animal
husbandry, and feces from every species," he wrote.
He
thanked his crew -- but especially the American public, both for
watching for eight years and for sharing their worlds with him. "From
pig farmers to bridge painters, roughnecks to gandy dancers, your
hospitality was exceeded only by your candor and good humor," Rowe
continued. "According to the credits, I am the host of Dirty Jobs,
but really, it's been you guys all along. I'm just the guest, and you
have made me feel welcome on 300 different occasions in all 50 states." http://www.baltimoresun.com/features/baltimore-insider-blog/bal-towson-grad-mike-rowe-loses-his-dirty-job-20121123,0,1929299.story
From Mike Rowe's Blog: It never fails.
Whenever Dirty Jobs goes off the air for a few months, people start
to wonder if the show has been canceled. Rumors begin to swirl, and
questions about the show’s future fill my inbox. Over the years it’s
been my pleasure to assure anxious fans that Dirty Jobs is coming back
for another season. And indeed, we always have. Alas, this year, I’m
afraid I cannot dispel the rumors. A few weeks ago, I was officially
informed that Dirty Jobs had entered into a new phase. One I like to
call, “permanent hiatus.” Or in the more popular industry vernacular,
canceled. http://www.mikeroweworks.com/scrap-yard/mikes-blog/
This is one show I will miss, the pig farm in Las Vegas:
