9. Ice Road Truckers
Site score 3, IMDb score 1; Overall score= 5
Directed by: Tamara Marie Watson and others
Year: 2007 –
One of the most popular shows on History channel is currently in its 9th season. If you have been living in a cave for the last 9 years, the show features daredevil truck drivers delivering their cargo deep in the Arctic Circle in frozen wastelands of Alaska and Canada. The roads they travel on aren’t roads at all, but solid snow and ice on the permafrost. They are only passable in winter when the temperature falls well beneath the freezing point. Driving through hundreds of miles of nothing but the snow-covered landscape is not for everyone, and these guys (the show featured few female drivers as well) are a very special group of people. The premiere was watched by 3.4 million viewers, setting a record viewership at the time for any History Channel show.
