Amish Mafia....

Lets not forget the money he was making on Deadliest Catch and After the Catch.

I forgot about that. I wouldn't be surprised to hear his voice used for a Pixar character some day.

Same here. They used Sig Hanson, Capt of the Northwestern, in some movie not too long ago.

I expect Rowe wanted too much money to go on with Dirty Jobs. No reason to cancel the show other than something like that. Rowe's making way more money on endorsements. He's branded as an honest hard working blue collar guy and can pretty much write his own ticket. His income for one year from Ford alone probably makes him more money than all the money he's made from Dirty Jobs combined. More power to him.

Did you guys know he got his start doing stuff on the Home Shopping Channel?? I caught him on an episode of Racheal Ray one day (God, I can't stand her and her "deeeeee-lish" but that's another story ...) and he was talking about it. He did a little demonstration about how they had to make stuff up as they went along about the junk they were selling ... It was hilarious!

I personally doubt it was a Mike Rowe asking for too much money issue as much as it was a generational shift in "reality" tv.

Here's some of Mike's writings on the subject:

I thought the Amish had status as Concientious Objectors(?). Wouldn't that mean they want no part in any violence? If there is a Mafia, it's not Amish, it's fakes extorting meek people who dislike confrontation. I think it's fake. I didn't bother wasting my time with it. Any more, my TV is for morning news and Craig Ferguson at night. The only other use it sees is as a display for my DVD player. TV is such garbage, any more. All I want to do is read.


EDIT: I was just looking around and I think BB has more of her quotes sigged than any other member.

Racheal Ray is right up there with Mary Anne.

GARBAGE either way
