Some other shows he has produced include “Lobster Wars”, “Monster Garage” and “Monster House” which documented a themed remodeling of a residence within five days.
Beers has also narrated many of the shows he has produced, including “Swords: Life on the Line” which documented New England fishing boats fishing for swordfish, and “Deadliest Catch” but soon turned over those duties to Mike Rowe. For Discovery Health Channel, he narrated “Impact: Stories of Survival” which features reenactments and interviews regarding life-threatening situations in which the victim experienced impact. In 2007, Thom then produced and narrated the History Channel Show “Ice Road Truckers” which featured truck drivers operating seasonal routes over frozen lakes in the north of the continent. The following year he narrated “Ax Men” which followed several logging crews in Northwestern Oregon, Washington and Montana, as well as Louisiana and Florida. He then produced the show on A&E entitled “Storage Wars” which he also narrated – in California and other states, if a storage locker rental is not paid for three months, it is sold by an auctioneer. The show features professional bidders who then try to sell the contents for a profit.
Thom and Original Productions then worked with truTV for their own series “Black Gold”, which chronicles oil drilling rigs in Andrews County, Texas. Around the same time he also worked on The Weather Channel mini-series “Tornado Road”, and IFC’s “Whisker Wars”. For the National Geographic Channel, he narrated “America’s Port” and “Wild Justice”, and he also worked on the pilot episodes of “1,000 Ways to Die”, “The Colony” and “Pitchmen’.
