I've watched Gold Rush since its first episode a couple of years ago, and will admit I love the show.
Great characters the entertain us, filled with heroes, villains....and lazy people all chasing the American dream of financial freedom.
The Lazy Ones...
First off, the Hoffman clan are bunch of idiots....(I'm trying to be nice) but come on, why you leave the Klondike at all? We all know the saying "The grass isn't always greener, on the other side of the fence" If the Hoffman's would have remembered that they all would be millionaires by now!
The Hero....
Parker Schnabel, a young man still in school, trying to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather....It doesn't get more any more American than that. Parker goes to his grandpa seeking for his wisdom
( whose advice for his age is priceless ) and includes him in his own ups and downs because he knows his time with him is short.
The Villain....
Tony Beets ( The Viking ) he looks the part, talks the part, and gobbles up gold just like a true viking should. Don't get me wrong, I would be the same way if I had the same gold mining set up as him. It can't be easy raking in millions of dollars worth of gold in just 5 short months. Still don't be fooled, on the show his wife complains that they need money, but we all know that guy wipes his a$$ with 100 dollar bills!
It's a great show, and I hope the Hoffmans someday will find that leprechaun at the end of the rainbow, but until then maybe that should just run as much paydirt as they can!
Til the next sketch....
Keep drawing my friends!
