It's just the point that they should be compensated better for all this impossible and dangerous hard work.

They're not going to be compensated like a CEO, but better than an extra $800 for making possible people like Mike LaMonica earning millions and millions more than he already has.

CEO compensation is way out of reality and the vast majority are nothing but white collar criminals. One man was paid (won't say earned because he couldn't possibly have...

CEO? Yeah, right.

I tried to get a job as a roughneck. Not successful. The routine would be to go to the rigs on a Monday morning. You'd get hired if a worker had so much of a weekend drunk that he wouldn't show up.

Lots of opinions about this show and the lifestyle thereof-watching it since inception.

Two wells have been productive that have been featured in the series-one with a potential $50 million return, another with a potential $250 million return.

It costs far less than that to uncover the oil, even though it's probably a million dollars a well (guess) and some just don't produce.

None of this would be possible without the roughnecks, who I assumed were paid...

one thing they're not showing is that there are always three crews on a rig 'cause they don't ever stop drilling if they can help it

They allude to the other crews since the Big Dog team didn't show up.

I spent a summer working worm corner in the oil patch of south west Wyoming. Natural gas actually, but the same process. That was some fucked up work and this show is pretty spot on - Especially with the drinking and such. I...

You know... I don't know if I can watch this show. After watching an interview with "Rooster", on trutv, I had no fucking idea what the hell he was saying. It sounded like a bunch of mish mash garbble... they better have sub-titles with this show; otherwise, I feel like I am watching some Croatian television show broadcasted in the US.

very realistic so far, but these are pretty small rigs - looks like they're doubles, not triples

Produced by the same people who do Ice Road Truckers, and AxMen.

5 minutes, and I'm hooked.

I'm wondering if they're gonna have any women in the mix. There are women geologists and women who did what I did - mudlogging, so there's a chance. And I knew two women who actually were roughnecks - one was a motorman and you could barely tell she was female. And there was always a rumor about an all woman drilling rig.

This show is gonna be great material for Joel McHale on The Soup. Can't wait.

FYI...Rooster has admitted had they had a girl, her name would have been Jenny (Genuine Draft). Them McConaughey boys sure are classy!

That is SO wrong on so many levels -- naming your boy after a beer, spelling it differently to conceal the connection, and worst of all, having Miller Lite as your favorite beer.

I've kind of been getting into this genre lately. Ax Men in particular shouldn't be interesting, but it is.

I'll give this show a try.

Rooster McCounaghey's son is named Miller Lyte, after his favorite beer. No shit, I read an interview with him in People mag.

No, not that kind of driller, oil drillers. A new show debuts on Wednesday called Black Gold an it's about oil field workers. It was produced by the same people who make Deadliest Catch, so it should be pretty good. There's one minor celebrity in it Rooster McConaughey (Matthew's brother). It should be interesting. I worked in the oilfields up in Montana and North Dakota for 5 years and am currently working for an oil company, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask....
