It s one of the most perilous roads in the world, a strip of ice built on frozen lakes that connects remote billion-dollar mining outposts in northern Canada with civilization 350 miles away. In the brief two months a year that the road is passable, ten thousand loads, some weighing as much as twenty-two tons, will travel over the highway in an urgent race to provide critical supplies to the camps before the ice melts.
ICE ROAD TRUCKERS follows the competition and camaraderie of six truckers over a season on the ice road, as they brave white-outs, thin ice, and the deadly cold to perform one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. From the construction of this massive frozen highway and the preparation of the truck fleet, to the risky final days when the melting highway grows dangerously unreliable, THE HISTORY CHANNEL takes viewers on a thrilling, adrenaline-pumping ride.
DVD Features: Ice Road Truckers episode of Dangerous Missions; 5 Featurettes: Meet the Truckers , Overcoming the Challenges , Perils of the Ice Road , Behind-The-Scenes , The Countdown

Summary: FILTHY LANGUAGE !!## BLEEP!! BLEEP!!! BLEEP!!!....
Comment: The bleeped out language in this DVD is disgusting and completely unnecessary. I can't believe this was accepted and aired on the History Channel. Poor choice on their part, big time! If the language would have been excluded all together, instead of bleeped out, the producers of this series and the History Channel undoubtedly would have been able to attract a greater viewing audience. Thumbs down for this one. I definitely wouldn't show this to my kids!

Came fast in great shape

Summary: Overdone
Comment: I was very excited about this series when I ordered them. Unfortuntaly the series is not very documentary, but more of a fictional dramatized character. It seems the producers have tried to dramatize something that is just not there. Big, Spectacular, Over-dramatized are all words that fit the series. All the episodes would have made ONE single good two-hour show.

Summary: Poorly executed clone of Deadliest Catch
Comment: I had high expectations for this series, but after watching it my primary reaction is one of disappointment. This would have been a terrific two-hour special. But the producers had a lot of time to fill, and fill they did...with repetitive, monotonous footage, weak story lines, artificial and manipulative "drama", and lots of time spent repeating the same material over...and over...and over.
I don't think I've ever seen a series that was so obviously stretched to fill the available time. The latter episodes were unwatchable thanks to the endless use of tired footage and shameless rehashing of earlier material.
While Deadliest Catch is immensely watchable and thrilling to the end, this series falls far short of the high bar set by that program.

Summary: Ice Road Truckers
Comment: We'd only ever seen the first episode her in Australia, but I wanted to see them all. So I placed an overseas order, with Amazon. The full First Series arrive very quickly, considering the distance to the "Down Under" and in perfect condition, as well. The rest of this first series, was fantastic and I have watch some of them, over and over again!!! They are of a very similar scarey action, as was Deadliest Catch, of which I also bought the full series, from Amazon. The very LARGE numbers "beeps" in the Ice Road Truckers, does take away the true sense of the stories, so we just have to endure that, we guess!!!! We did have to purchase a later brand of DVD Player, to be able to play the Ice Road Truckers, because of being in a different Zone, but we had to watch them, somehow and this was a small price to pay. And now, we'll be able to play ALL DVDs, that we order from Amazon!!! So there you have it, folks!!!!!!
