I was wondering why Discovery channel for the past year or so had been running reruns of that show until they moved most of that line up to TLC.

RIP Boyd..

He had a good run, although I'll never understand how he hooked up with that hag of a first wife...at least he traded her in for a much newer model...

Look, lets not trash his wives.. That's his decision.. Don't think I'll bad mouth him or any one connected to him now that he's readying for the final resting place.
