cqdmgy I have watched and enjoyed this show since at least Season 3 as I can remember watching when the Maverick was a part of the show. There has been a couple of episodes I didn't really enjoy. IE: the pregnancy/ "Saga" pun intended.Something I would like to see a show about is from the point of view of the "film crews" and some of their experiences. I am curious as to how the shots of the individual boats slogging through the seas is accomplished.These people are most definitely a special breed in my mind and I hope that show goes on for many more seasons! It is one reality show I enjoy and what makes it work is the way that everyone carries out their duties and without mini-dramas because of the cameras.
PhillipChafin While I love to catch a good reality television show that isn't based solely on greediness or obsessions with getting famous, this show is one of the few I record and watch regularly. Not only is it "real" reality it is a very dangerous job not only for the crabbers but also for the production crews. While I am sure some things are played up for the benefit of luring people into the show I can say from watching since the series began that I have truly enjoyed this show and hope it stays on the air for many more years. It is truly amazing how much money the boats, captains and crews take home after such a short time. If I didn't have a family and job I would be up there trying to get onto one of those boats to see if I have what it takes to be an Alaskan Crabber. RIP Captain Phil!
bruce_files_3 This series is an honor to all those hard working men and women everywhere around the world, in or out of the sea, that have to push themselves to the limit to make it every single day.Crab-fishing works as a fine "wagon" to carry all the agony, effort, mental and physical exhaustion some (the most) of the people around the world face to make their living. The two-three weeks of fishing period at a time sums in a decent way the farmers' (for example) whole season before and during the harvest. And that is why its an interesting and enjoyable as tragic too, show to watch. Its compact, always about something new (besides the fact that is about crab fishing!), keeping a good pace, and keeps the viewer on the edge since everything changes as the parameters of the fishing do.I am sure, those captains, are making many hard working men/women proud, since they are letting the rest of the world see what it takes for some people to bring bread (and crab!) on the table. Very inspiring indeed! Thank you Captains....and in case you are reading this, "Good Luck" !!!!PS: Don't miss the great documentary "4 Elements". Search it in here for more details.
wtbe7560 "Deadliest Catch" is the latest offering from the Discovery Channel, and a welcome diversion from their seemingly non-stop "Monster" car or bike building shows. "Catch" follows the crews of several crab boats as they and the rest of the fleet rush to catch as many crab as possible in the ever-shortening Alaskan crab season. The show gives you an in-depth view of the trouble the crew faces doing everyday tasks, like baiting and dropping crab pots, and how these tasks are made harder by the unforgiving Bering Sea. We see everyone from the "greenhorns" (rookies) to the "old salts" and the danger they face every day. As evidence of this, as Discovery was filming one boat sank and another lost a crewman overboard, totaling six deaths in the first episode of the Opilio season. Next time you sit down at Red Lobster and wonder why Alaskan Crab Legs are so much, tune in to Discovery and see why they are worth every penny.
