Deadliest Catch

I tried searching for an old thread, but couldn't find one. (I suck using the search.)

Please tell me there are other Deadliest Catch fans on GC. This is a guilty pleasure of mine, and I am so glad it is back.

I will sit and watch that show for like, hours. It's pretty much addicting.

Me too! It is one of those shows that I can watch over and over.

Last night was apparently the highest rated episode ever of Deadliest Catch! I was laughing at the Hansen brothers "Last Man Standing" competition. Dangerous, but funny as hell.

The one night I miss

Have to catch re-run.

I only recently started watching it but thanks to my hubby & father-in-law, am catching up on the previous seasons.

I like this show, and Ice Road Truckers! One of the boats used in Deadliest Catch is apparently based on Lake Union in Seattle, so says the operator of the in-city tour we took this summer with my bf's parents.

ETA: I actually just looked up the bios of the crews featured on this season, and it turns out ALL of them are based in Seattle. I guess it shouldn't surprise me...we love our boats and seafood!

Last season after the last show, they taped a reunion show with the Captains in a Tavern somewhere Downtown.

My boyfriend's dad keeps trying to get me to watch Ice Road Truckers, but I still haven't seen it. Apparently it is just as good though. I'll have to look out for it.

All of them? Even the Cornelia Marie? I could have sworn on the Cornelia Marie it says "Juneau, AK." I always thought that is where they are based. Hmmm...interesting. I've always wanted to visit Seattle.

Seattle is a great city; just plan on coming between May and Aug.

They may be registered in Juneau for financial or other practical reasons. I don't know though.

And I was laughing at Sig cussing out the other guys for being stubborn as he refused to give in first.

I love this show, my fiance and I DVR it! I can't watch this week's episode until he gets back though, boo!

It was a good episode, as you can see us talking about it. I am waiting to see how some spoiler info about one of the captains pans out in the next few episodes.

This is a great show and it's nice to see how they make their living! It was kind of sad at the beginning of the season where they show the "memorials" of the all the people who have died at sea.

You know what was sad for me, that time that the Time Bandit helped save that guy who was hanging from the pods and fell into the Sea after the wave knocked him over.

Seeing Johnathan's (that's the captains name, right?) reaction and how everyone had soo many emotions going through them was touching.
