Leave it to Mike to take on a emotional subject like Hurricane Katrina and not only make a great show of it but make us laugh after all the tears. Loved it from start to finish. Classic Mike with the one liners. What a trooper to start from the worsest and dirtest house and work up into a clean just boards. And wow got to love anyone who works hard to kill blood sucking insects. Makes you want to go and buy a few of those fish to clean your pool. And the girl with the scary bug tatoo, ok wierd. I think she was a little much for Mike. Overall Mike was hot and great once again, I look forward to this series new episodes over and over again!moreless

A totally inspirational episode about the residents of New Orleans after the horrible aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and how these people are picking themselves up after the beating that they got. How the survivors of this disaster are adjusting to new way of life or are trying to make the city more a little bit easier for the residents of the city to live in.

A perfect example of this is the clean-up crew company that was founded by a former school teacher after the numerous houses that were destroyed. Instead of falling into depression that he might not get another job in the profession that he went to school to he took the lemons and made lemon pie by going into the fields of house demolition, something that is much needed in this city after the hurricane.So if anybody feels like they are down, look at this episode and this guy you will feel much better after watching it.

Also we have the people that are working hard to control the mosquitoes that have bloomed ever since Katrina either by using a biological control, like the freshwater fish or use chemical to killed the mosquitoes as well. Like with most episodes of Dirty Jobs Mike alreadys seems to fine colorful So if anybody feels like they are down, look at this episode and this guy you will feel much better after watching it. Also we have the people that are working hard to control the mosquitoes that have bloomed ever since Katrina either by using a biological control, like the freshwater fish or use chemical to killed the mosquitoes as well. Just like with many episodes of Dirty Jobs, Mike always seems to find a very colorful character and this episode doesn't disappointed with the woman whom has a mosquito tattooed on her back.moreless
