Mushroom farming; Los Angeles storm drain.

9.0

"Superb"

By Brucie133, Aug 12, 2009

So he starts off as a mushroom farmers it is really interesting. Not that funny though. I really liked the storm cleaner, both the job and the man. It was full of laughs and information. The job of making the drains wasn't great but it was okay. The people seemed nice though and it was pretty funny. The part where the guy says he got something personal caught smashed by the thing sounded really bad.

This is a superb episode. The Mushroom Farmer was great. The Storm Cleaner was definitely the best. The drain maker was only good because it was funny.moreless
