Glory Hole

How many shows can you make about gold? Seriously, I count 15

Gold Rush
Gold Diggers
Jungle Gold
Ice Cold Gold
Gold Rush: South America
Gold Town
Alaskan: A Modern Day Gold Rush
Goldfathers
Bering Sea Gold
Bering Sea Gold: Under the Ice
The Dirt
Yukon Gold
Bamazon
Guerilla Gold
Ghost Mine

Regardless of how you feel about mining, the plethora of reality tv shows is really obnoxious. Deadliest Catch was cool for the first few seasons, but now cable networks are throwing themselves at any odd profession: Oil drilling, Moonshining, Fishing, Marijuana farming, Trucking, etc. They’re all limited and partly scripted, and I’ve had my fill. I’d rather watch COPS. Now that’s reality; the rest is just glorified bullshit.
