Black Gold on TruTv

There is an upcoming show on TruTV called Black Gold. The creator of the show is Thom Beers- the same guy who brought us the awesome shows Deadliest Catch and Ice Road Truckers. His new show will be following a group of Texas oil drillers who have only 50 days to drill 4 holes in the unforgiving oil fields of West Texas. You need to check out truTV's Black Gold trailers, which I have embedded below.





As you can see, this should be an action-packed adventure. If you've watched Deadliest Catch, the newly seasoned workers on that show are called "greenhorns". Out in the oil rigs, they coined their own name for the newbies which is "roughnecks". Could you imagine being one of these roughnecks and getting yelled at like that? I mean, you don't even know what the hek you are doing out there! I guess it just goes with the territory.

Just like in the other shows Beers has created, these guys can't make any mistakes or they risk losing their lives. I'm glad I can just sit at a desk all day :) Let me know if any of you get into this show, it looks awesome and I can't wait for the premiere TONIGHT!
