Does anybody watch "The Deadliest Catch" on discovery?

[NightWatcher]

You know, the show about the different crabbing boats that fish between Alaska and Russia.

This show is wild. A couple of people died this upcoming season.

[Omphaloskepsis]

1. I watch it... A couple of people die every season.

But hey, 15K for a few weeks of work. They know what they are getting into. It looks like they take safety seriously. But, bad things happen. I don't see anything that could be done to make the job any safer.

[Madrone]

2. Love that show.

After watching it I'm surprised crab isn't $500/pound. Holy COW - it's dangerous!

[Joe Fields]

3. It has become my favorite show.

It is the only real "reality" show on television.

I also love to watch "Dirty Jobs" with Mike Rowe

[CottonBear]

8. Dirty Jobs is great too! Mike Rowe is really entertaining and a hard worker too!

IHe has a great snese of humor. He narrates and hosts some shows on the History Channel as well.

[Beausoir]

4. My whole family is addicted to it. It's great fun.

And I love Mike Rowe as the narrator.

[rockymountaindem]

5. I do

Like someone else said, it's the only show that involves any "reality" on TV these days.

[Crabby Appleton]

6. Any show about crabs has got to be good

what a way to make a living.

[CottonBear]

7. I love that show! The Northwestern is my favorite ship. I really like Sig Hansen

and his brothers. They are crazy brave and tough as nails! I get almost get seasick just watching those waves and the ships rolling.

[AllegroRondo]

10. Did you see Sig on the Daily Show last night?

great stuff. he was a little uncomfortable about being on TV, but Jon asked him some great questions that drew him out.

[CottonBear]

16. Noooo! I missed it! I no longer have TV at home. Maybe it's on Youtube today

or did The Daily Show prohibit Youtube rebroadcasts?

Sig is so damn cool under pressure plus he has a very dry sense of humor.

:hi:

[CottonBear]

22. Cool! Thank you CatWoman!

:hi: How are you and your kitties? I took my cat to the vet for her checkup yesterday. She's fine except for being too fat! (Oops! My bad!) She's on diet dry food now. She even has some canned diet food for an occassional snack. She need to loose at least two pounds. She's deaf and 12 years old so she's not as active as she was. I need a kitty treadmill for her!

Take care and thanks again for the link!

[LaraMN]

11. I don't watch it regularly, but I've seen it.

[AlCzervik]

My favorites are Sig and Phil.

I thought Phil was gonna blow a gasket last night when he found out what was wrong with his ship.

All those guys are amazing.

[CottonBear]

17. What happened to Phil's ship last night? I wasn't able to watch TV. Thanks! n/t

[Spacemom]

19. a big chunck

of the propeller is missing. He said he just had them worked on too. Methinks someone is in for a reeming. :scared:

[CottonBear]

20. Yoiks! That's scary and dangerous, as if the job isn't dangerous enough already. nt

[realisticphish]

18. I love the show

i have a whole new appreciation for fisherman... I sure as hell couldn't do that job

[Kingshakabobo]

23. Strangely fascinating. I KNEW I couldn't be the only person that enjoys it! n/t

[eyepaddle]

24. I absolutley love that show.

I would also just like to get Mike Rowe to like, narrate my home movies or something; "Up next--eyepaddle catches a break (video of me finding a dollar bill or something)

I think he'd make even the mundane sound cool.

[Little Wing]

25. but like so many dollar bills before it, will this dollar bill lead to disaster?

find out next week

[eyepaddle]

27. Exactly!

:rofl:

[Beausoir]
