Comment by Overshot on July 27, 2010 at 9:51am: Well, maybe. Can we send mail to the producers of the show and tell them how wrong they got it if we do this?

Comment by Jon Egilsson on July 27, 2010 at 6:04pm: I worked with one of the drillers on that show. He was a derrick hand up here in Wyoming in '04 I think it was. The show is way off base but still funny to watch.

Comment by Dave Derval on July 27, 2010 at 6:14pm: Come on guys. When have they ever made a TV show that portrays reality. Look at the police/fire fighting/legal/etc. shows. Take it with a pinch of salt and just try to enjoy. We all know the true reality. Be safe. Cheers.

Comment by Kerry "Fatboy" Burrough on July 27, 2010 at 6:16pm: It's more entertaining than watching Obama pick up a tar ball

Comment by Scott Vannoy on July 27, 2010 at 6:31pm: I crack up watching that show. It's fun to know when they are making drama out of nothing. I am sure it is the same way for crab boat crews when they watch "Deadliest Catch." It's all for TV. And I am sure they are hoping for higher ratings after the BP disaster. I have worked off of a few Big Dog rigs many years ago when I still lived in West Texas. They are junk. The owner is a cheapskate and it shows with his iron and crews. My wife always wonders if they would ever come film on my rig. I remind her that they will never do that because it is way too boring. They would have to film for a month or two just to get enough drama for a one hour show. We all know that is the case on most of our rigs. They picked junk rigs and I believe they got advice on somebody on where to find it. Oklahoma might be cleaning up their act a little bit, so that leaves the little straight hole punchers in West Texas. So, I say we watch it. Everybody needs a little comic relief.

Comment by William Budge on July 27, 2010 at 7:00pm: These are the same producers of "Deadliest Catch" makes you wonder how much BS that is.

Comment by Blake Malkamaki on July 27, 2010 at 7:46pm: I watched the first series and a couple of the second series. I'm just too busy for much TV at this time of year. I think it was entertaining, even though not realistic. But what else is worth watching on TV these days? Most nights I watch Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, and call it a night. There isn't much good out there as far as reality shows or sitcoms these days.

I would like to see a documentary on real oil rigs - both historic and current. I know... some of the current ones ARE historic - especially here in NW Pa.

Comment by Chuck Emerson on July 27, 2010 at 8:16pm: It is hard enough to get the general public a realistic picture of the Oil & Gas Industry with the appalling media we have, without putting out complete hogwash like this. I agree with Curtis completely that it is an embarassment to us all. Mike Rowe did a segment of "Dirty Jobs" on a drilling rig a few years ago and it was an accurate portrayal as I've ever see, so I know it can be done. Why do they coninue to foist this excrement off on us. We in "The Patch" deserve much better!
