Gold Rush S05E05 - a review

Today we examine Discovery Channel's hit show - Gold Rush.  This is the fifth installment of our totally epic series, entitled, 'Gary Kotter And the Amazing Pot of Gold.'  This episode concentrates on Gary Kotter and his efforts to revive John Travolta's stalled acting career.  Mr. Kotter suggests shooting up the hospital.

Travolta says, after careful consideration, "No, that's not going to work.  You have to kill yourself at the end and I don't want to do that."

Mr. Kotter then suggests that John go to Alaska with his insane father, Jack, and try mining for gold.  John thinks it's a fine idea.

"Swell!  I'll do that," he says.

But I'm getting ahead of myself.  Let's look at the recap.

Todd Hoffman is buying pizza for crew for lunch.  He calls his dad for advice.

Jack says Dominos has a special on two large two topping pizzas and maybe to try that one.  He doesn't really care as long as it has sausage. 

"Yeah I'd like six of those frigging two topping pizzas deals."

"Why do I always have to be ******* Santa Claus?  What about the jolly fat man in ******* HR?"

The Domino's pizza tracker indicates Todd's pizzas are on the way. 

"Yeah, Todd, I like Mushrooms."

In a totally spontaneous, unscripted moment between Dave Something and Guy McSomeguy, they discuss the pizzas. 

In a poignant scene, Dave Something confers with his brother, Burt Reynolds.
