15 Things About "30 Days"

FX's show is back, and if you've never seen it, this is all you need to know.
1. It's hosted by Morgan Spurlock, who hit it big with the "Super Size Me."
2. In that documentary he ate McDonald's for breakfast, lunch and dinner for 30 days, thus creating the "30 Days" concept of taking on a new life for 30 days.
3. He also gained 25 pounds making that documentary.
4. In the first "30 Days" episode, he and his fiance Alex took minimum wage jobs and li ved on the them for 30 days.
5. Believe it or not, she still married him after this.
6. The first episode of season 2, Spurlock went to prison.
7. He left before the 30 days was up that time.
8. This season he returned to his native West Virginia.
9. To work in a coal mine.
10. It sucked. (The job, not the show. I love this show.)
11. You get really dirty when you work in a coal mine.
12. Seriously, dude.
13. But you start at $60,000 a year.
14. And after 30 years you can make more than $100,000.
15. Next week a pro football player will see what it's like to be paralyzed and living in a wheelchair.
