Crabby Captains catching Crabs Make Good Viewing Jan 29, 2009
This is an addicting little series from the Discovery Channel. The captains have become folk heroes of sorts. I turned into Martha Stewart one day and she was interviewing Sig Hansen and his brother while cooking a crab dish for them.
No matter how much the crew earns on these crab runs there is not a viewer on the planet who would say their overpaid. They have sleep depravation, injuries, work cold and wet, bicker amongst themselves, wrestle 700 pound pots and face the real threat of being washed overboard and freezing in the arctic waters but they struggle onward so we can have our appetizer of crab with drawn butter.
Us loyal viewers learn the jargon of the crews and long to learn more of our favorite captains: Blond and handsome Sig Hansen of the Northwestern, acerbic Phil Harris of the Cornelia Marie, the wiley Hillstrand brothers (Johnathan, Andy and Neal) of the Time Bandit.
This is a show that you never lose interest in watching and is well worth your time and money. I'm going to give this same review to each season. bg

Good set. Hey, just like on Discovery! What more is there to say. If you like DC you wont be disapointed.
The Best Catch Jan 09, 2009
This was purchased as a gift for a fan of the show. What can I say, it was a huge hit. Also it helped to include an bottle of Rogue's Deadliest Ale, autographed by Sig himself.
Meet the ships and crews Jan 07, 2009
This is a super interesting show about crab fishing in Alaskan waters. Mike Rowe does an excellent job as narrator telling the story of these men.

Riveting. Engaging. Exciting. Dangerous. Jan 01, 2009
DEADLIEST CATCH is one of the most riveting series on TV.
The work alone is incrediblly dangerous and difficult on heaving decks in freezing seas with wind and weather assailing every footstep. The evidence of this lies in the 90 lost souls over the past twenty years of those who ventured to challenge Alaska's Bering Sea.
But the real drama of the series lies in the characters themselves; the Wizard's captain Keith, Jonathan of Time Bandit, the damaged Phil aboard Cornelia Marie (and his sons), Sig and his family on the Northwestern and so many other brave and hearty souls. They become like part of the family as we cheer their victories, grieve their losses and laugh with them in the joy of their work and play. You come to love Jacob, the great-hearted kid on the Cornelia Marie and to see through Jonathan's quirkiness to his heart for his men and his ship. Sig's toughness metls as he reveals the depth of his pain in losing friends and comrades to the Bering Sea.
This series is a brilliant, vivid, dramatic testimony to the "men who go down to the sea in ships." May God bless and keep them.
