Deadliest Catch

Where do I begin? This show is so boring that I would honestly rather watch the TV Guide channel. It basically is the same stupid thing every time. Same thing, different day. It's bad enough that there are so many re-runs on tv, but how about new episodes that feel like re-runs? What is so entertaining about fishing anyway? Honestly I don't understand why some guys are such Neanderthals. Isn't there anything better to do with your time than to watch a bunch of guys go out on a boat and catch fish and crabs? I guess it's better than sitting on a frozen lake for hours with a pole in the ice, to get one measly fish when you can just buy it in the store anyway.

The Deadliest Catch is the best reality show ever produced. This show keeps me on the edge of my seat, every week. I can't wait until the next show airs to see what will happen. The producers have done an outstanding job, making us all feel as though we are right there with them. I find myself sitting on the edge of my seat, praying for all the ships and their crew, as we all know what can, and has happen in the past. This documentary proves that this is by far, the Deadliest Job, and my hat is off to those brave enough to capture these crew, in their element, and bring this to us in our living rooms. They have done a fine job in making us understand, how truly dangerous this job is, and how the weather can be great one minute and then quickly turn deadly in the next. They have shown us how unpredictable and unforgiving the Bering Sea can be. They have introduced us to the crew of these ships, and you feel as though you know them, you definitely care and worry about them. I give this show ten stars, easily. If you have never watched it, watch it, because if your not watching this show, you are truly missing a classic in the making.

I liked it Somewhat. The show was OK. Man, It really needs some work. If it lasted a few more seasons, It would be a great Hit! It is not really my kind of show, either. I like Animes, Action and cartoon Type shows. It does, however gave me some kind of a motivation that i want to do later in life.

I don't watch too much television, but I managed to have the misfortune of watching this program. If you like watching the most mind-numbing, repetitive shots of cage after cage of crabs being poured onto a ship coupled with a desperate attempt at making it seem glamorous ("DAMMNNN thats some hot crab") then this program is for you. Seriously awful the only way feeling your soul slowly die as more and more crabs get paraded on the program. The only way to convey how dull this program could be to replace every word in this review with 'crab' and read it out loud in a monotone, crab like fashion. It wasn't even a deadly catch - it was crabs; boring, unimaginative, mindless....basically television full stop.

The Staab brothers need to go back to tree hugging and whatever else kept them away from fishing for so many years. Trying to tag on to the others shirt tails is just not becoming to an overweight undersized wimpy daddy's boy who has to beg for his father to give him a shot. Obviously he hasn't done too well for himself in the past. I cringe every time that cocky little jerk opens his mouth. Just another attempt at being accepted. It will never happen. Go back to Dad and beg for forgiveness for embarrassing his entire family. It's terrible that he (sten staab) is just trying to cash in on the others sucess. Leave it to the professionals, He has no redeeming qualities that even make him tolerable to watch. I pray every episode that they catch s tankful of starfish. What a poor excuse for a crab fisherman. He is so far out of the league of the others it's a sin.

This show is awesome. This is the realest television that you can watch. It's the most addicting show I have ever seen my entire life. Anybody who doesn't love this show doesn't understand how intense it is... I love it! The show is not only about how dangerous their profession is, which is certainly illustrated, but also it is about family dynamics, friendship, and the real life of a fisherman. These guys are funny, intense, and trying to make a living. This is a tough career, and a seldom few men can actually handle the torture their bodies go through, sometimes working for 50 hours straight. Hard labor too. Ultimately, I think that this is an awesome show and everyone should give it a try.

my husband an i love this show an cant wait for the new season to start. we like all the people, and of course the captains. i really like andy cause he always seems happy an smlies alot an hes cute an so is his brother. i hope phil will be back an hope he is doing fine will be missed if he cant. watching this show has made me decide that i will never go on the ocean no matter how big the boat is. i also love the way they film this. these guys really earn their money an risk their lives so that we may sit down an have crab on our table.

How could you not like this show. I always look forward to it every year.

Crab fishing in Dutch Harbor, Alaska. Big waves and nasty weather... truly one of the deadliest jobs in the world.

Narrated by "Dirty Jobs" Mike Rowe, a perfect fit for this show.

My favorite boat is the NorthWestern, they always do well even if it something seems to go bad. Sig Hansen seems to find the crab just about every year.

Waiting for its return this April on the Discovery channel, s for now I'll be watching another great show, (and one of the deadliest jobs in the world)

"Ax Men." (History Channel)

The first time I watched it I was "hooked". Okay, okay that wasn't really funny, but it still goes. I love this show. My favorite crew is that of the Northwestern. That boat always seems to have it together. Yeah, they have their mechanical breakdowns but it always gets fixed and they seem to always bring in big numbers of crab. I think Mike Rowe as the announcer for this show was a great choice. They could have not picked a better person. And now everyone is trying to do this kind of show, from "Ice Road Truckers" to "Black Gold". Everyone wants a piece of this action. If you have not watched Deadliest Catch, you are missing out.

Deadliest Catch is a great show for rain days and when you are bored. Deadliest Catch is packed full of action and is a very enlightening show. You get a rare glimes of how that crab you get in the restrants get to your plate. Deadliest Catch often can get boring though. Even though it has Its slow moments it is a great show. it is really amazing how much those people have to go through just to catch a few crabs. Deadliest Catch is overal a good show and will make you think twice about how hard your job is.

I love this show. I can't wait for new episodes every week. It was a great idea. I hope there are many more seasons in the future. They picked some of the best people to follow. There are some boats from past episodes that I wish were still on the show, but the main guys are great. I love seeing what different situations the guys get themselves into. I am someone who watches a lot of tv. I watch a lot of shows. On a night that has several different shows I like on at the same time, I watch this one first, and record the rest. Thank you Discovery Channel for bringing this incredible show to us.

Anyone who loves seafood appreciates it when they get to sit down to a good dinner. Even those who do so, however, may not think about exactly what goes into bringing that sea critter all the way from the waters of the ocean to your plate. It's a lot more than you think: you have to ride the punishing waves that would terrify almost anyone; you have to beat the competition, and you have to make sure you follow the signs to where the catch is. Many things can go wrong, spelling serious danger for the crews on the boats and for the local economy. In this show, you will get to meet the people who work on several boats. There are easygoing people, and there are some real pieces of work. You will learn a wide array of technical details about the routine on board ship. And the next time you order up some king crab, you'll know who to thank.

This is what all reality T.V. should be like. Plain and simple this show is just awesome. It really feels like your in the middle of the Bering Sea on a crab boat. You go through all the motions of grueling hard work, the excitement of hitting a gold mine of crab and the sadness of when a crab boat goes down and lives are lost. You get to know everybody and the crew doesn't care if the cameras are there, they're going to act like they've always acted. In a sea a really bad, stupid and generally pointless reality T.V. shows, this stands out as one of the best. Not only as reality T.V., but also as a documentary. Excellent!

There is a reason Alaskan crab fishing is so dangerous. No one knows how each season will turn out, or who will come out on top. While this is a very difficult and dangerous job, the men still find ways to have fun. Whether it is playing a prank on another boat or on one of their own crew, the fishermen who fish out on the Bering Sea try to make the best of what they got. Nobody knows what will happen on each episode and it definitely keeps you on your toes. Definitely a good show to watch and keep an eye on.

I deeply love this program. it desends all proability in the norm. This could be the best piece of videotograpy and man verses nature we have ever seem as patrons of this planet,with this said I feel a need too speak to the general public and for those whom think try can do a day on a fishing boat or vessal. to those i must say please look deep inside yourself and what you see is 1 quarter of what you think you are don't even go there,because it is the deadliest catch. There are times when I'm watching the show and wish i could be there but i'm old and watching is dreaming. and thats the reason I watch so i can dream. Please be safe at sea and may your families feel the warm hand of God when you go fishing. God knows his disciples were fishermen.. Ron spaulding.513-631-8735...norwood.ohio

My most favorite show ever! I get just as excited when the pots come up full, and get just as dissapointed when they are not full. I love all of the men on the ships. Those poor Greenhorns! Sometimes I feel so bad for them. All of the Captains and their crew are great! I do not like it at all when they loose men. This will forever be my favorite show! Love Mike Rowes voice as the narrator. I think that Sig Hansen is my favorite Captain. I loved the episode when he gave Jake his Northwestern Jacket (Jake earned it).

Please do not ever take this program off!

Only two come to mind Ice Road Truckers being one and Deadliest Catch being the other.



Now why do I hate all other reality shows and not the above two.



Quiet simply X Factor, American Idol, Big Brother, and all the rest of these pointless programs try and make some gormless talentless no mark into an over night singing or TV show sensation with disastrous results, Ice Road Truckers and Deadliest Catch show these men and women put there lives in danger everyday of the week just to earn a living for there family, they don't get anything easy and are not set up for life at the end of the series, they work until they either retire or illness and/or death make them stop.

When I see the word reality tagged to a tv show I get very hesitant as most of them are the furthest from reality. Deadliest catch however is about as real as it gets. These guys go out year in and year out and risk their lives to try and make a living. What you are watching actually happens on a normal basis several days a year over and over. Fear Factor, Survivor and shows like that are not reality, they are contestants in a game show. People die every year trying to make a living in the fishing industry, boats sink, bones break, families worry and so on. Deadliest catch is as real and unique as any other reality tv show to date.

This is my hands-down, absolute favorite show. It's almost a guilty pleasure for me, but I've noticed other people like it too, so I don't feel as bad about liking it. The show is very compelling. It shows the fisherman as real people and definitely does not try to beautify their job. It is shown as gritty and hard, and the show is shot and edited in such a way to keep you glued to the edge of your seat to make sure your favorite captain is going to come out of whatever situation he's in alright. And Mike Rowe is the perfect person to narrator this series.

I love Deadliest Catch!It is one of my favorite shows!All the men and women are tremendous to me! I would never have the nerve to go out there and do what they do! I like all the crews and captains and appreciate all of them. It is gutwrenching to watch sometimes and i find myself praying for them when i think they need it. Realizing it is pre-recorded, it doesn't hurt though! :} I look forward to next year and pray for all of their safety. God bless them all and i wish them all good luck!

I first watched one show because to be frank none of my usual shows were on, well as luck would find it, there was a marathon running on that afternoon. What started as a filler for my everyday shows quickly turned into an obsession. I found myself watching in complete awe of the intensity of this amazing series. I found myself frightened at the prospect of these crew members being seriously hurt. While also feeling the elated spirits of the crew when they pulled up pots in a string that were filled to the brim with the catch. Throw in a couple of parole violations and court case deadlines not to mention deadly weather conditions and bodily injury and what you have is a must see.

I absolutely love this show! Its completly amazing and its a great idea to even run it. This show is filled with everything that is good in a television show, everything! Really, this show shows you real life stories and how regular people make a living. Its one of those shows that isn't fake, staged, its just good and great to watch everyday! One of my favorite things about this show is that you cant expect anything to happen because everything can turn any second, a man could become overboard or something along those lines, the suspense in this show make it awesome! This is one of my favorites on the discovery channel and I hope it keeps going on and on because its just an amazing show and its great to watch!

As the season comes to an end, the drama continues to rise. This week, the Northwestern Greenhorn turns his attitude. The Time Bandit may get stuck in the ice, and the deck hand threatens the captian of the boat. Tons of crab, and tons of ice. Come on next week. Bring it on!!!

Deadliest Catch is by far the best reality show ever, and I love it, this show talks about the risks theses guys take to make a living and bring the crab that everyone loves to eat. This show brings action,adventure, comedy and drama to television and that is what makes it a good reality show, I also love the opening song.

I gotta say when I first started watching this I thought i'd probably be the only person in the whole of Britain watching it. Who ever would have thought a show about a bunch of guys out fishing would hit it off and pull itself quite nicely into a third season. Millions are spent on other shows that are dumped early. I could think of very few things worse than doing what these guys do, maybe thats why its so facinating. I find myself asking my US friend who made the most money as shes a good few shows ahead of me. People who visit my house when im watching it, I find out later that they are tuning in the week after to watch it. I cant tell you why its good to watch, fishing would bore me, being cold would kill me, so fishing in the cold AND being wet woud just be torturous. There is absolutely no reason I should like this show, but I love it. You really do get involved... ooing and ahhing when they lift their pods out of the water depending on the numbers. Hoping everyone makes their money. Good viewing...

This show is amazing, these people go through alot of rough weather, lack of sleep and other obsticles just to get these crabs out of really harsh waters. I bet most people never knew what it took to get the crab to your dinner table before. The one were the ship had an SOS was amazing to see how those guys stick together communicating through the CB's doing what they could. It's also cool to see what conditions are like in the boats too. I can't stand cold, and ice, and these guys hand both at the same time while on a boat, and lifting heavy pots out of the water. This show is really cool.

i wathced this show once and i got hooked. it was really good. i was very surprised, not that discovery has any bad shows, this is a must see. these guys are increadibly brave u should definitely whatch it. Watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This show has it all; action, drama, menial labor, and of course tragedy. The show follows several of the boats in the Alaskan Crab fleet from before the season starts until they rejoin their families after the crabbing season ends.



Most of the drama results from members of the crew being overtired and heavily worked for weeks on end. They get on each others nerves, but it not hard to see that they act more like family than coworkers. This is hard and dangerous work, and though it is not a daily occurrence, it is not unusual for people to die on the job.

My hats off to the guys on board those crab boats. I’ve watched a lot of reality t.v. shows back when and I’ve gotten so sick and tired of all of those. They all seem fake. But this shiet, this is the real deal. I cried, laugh, and cheered my way thru the latest episode when they were able to rescue that fishermen that fell overboard. Those guys really have balls. This is the hands down best reality t.v. show ever. This is the real F***ING deal.



#1 fan,

Mark

The show is pretty cool. they work for about four weeks straight with know rest for a pay that verys on the catch. They definitly put it all on the line on this show as you can see. They work about 18 hours out of the 24 hours of the day. They show what it takes to be a man and not to quit. people think there jobs are tough. you haven't seen tough intill you have seen this show. This show definitly tells you what tough is and shows the true meaning of hard work and determination. I just absoulty love this show.
