Deadlist Catch: Deadly Addictive, watch at your own risk!

an adventurer, wishing I could have tried this, a romantic

JUL

2007

A couple of months ago when my then very pregnant daughter and son-in-law visited us here in Boca Raton, my son-in-law asked if we minded if he watched a show on TV that night. Well who am I to say no? I mean after all he is the father of my then soon to be born grand daughter Sofia, right? Have I told you just how cute she is? Okay, Okay, I know I'm just one more bragging grandpa. Grandpa? How can that be? Oops, I digress. — "So Peter, what's this show about? King Crab fishermen on the Bering Sea? Yes, I can hardly wait." (Stifles yawn).… read full review »

Oh Deadliest Catch, what have you done? Is it Mike Rowe's soothing voice? Is it the allure of the sea? It's just not logical - in every episode, the EXACT SAME THING happens. Men go out on a crab boat into the freezing cold waters in between Alaska and Russia - and they throw giant cages into the water in the hopes of catching crab to make millions in only a few weeks. But every episode is more intriguing than the last, and whenever there is a Deadliest Catch marathon, I can't pull myself away. I forget to eat. To bathe. To move. — Maybe it's that you think you're learning something… read full review »

I avoided 'The Deadliest Catch' at first, but one day there was nothing else on. I ended up watching several episodes that day and watch it now when it's on. I won't say i like everyone on the show, there are some people that could learn from others and I don't just mean how ro work. — This, as a reality type show, is much better than any 'Survivor' or the other so-called reality shows. — It doesn't hurt to have that wonderful narrator, Mike Rowe (North America narrator). —… read full review »

About crab fishing in Alaska, I have relatives who are fishermen and they work at — all the jobs, cleaning fish, cleaning and repairing nets, packing, and moving off ship — and onto delivery vehicles. The family has lived in Alaska since the 1930's and also — have a Dairy farm in the Matanuksa Valley. —… read full review »

The best family entertainment for our family!

The Deadliest Catch is the most exciting TV show I've ever watched. It makes you feel as if you're fishing in frigid weather with the deckhands. This show is realistic, fun, informative, and riviting. I like the fishing stragedy and it's interesting to find out how much money each make for risking their lives for a few short weeks. —… read full review »

APR

2008

The Deadliest Catch is a slow going show but catchy like a mini soap opera when you get to the captains and crews from the different boats that the show tracks. Awesome footage is filmed and the adventure of each trip out at sea is different with not knowing what is around the corner. —… read full review »

Love the show. Edge of your seat action- maybe I can get my husband a job. The pay is great. I can't imagine being on those boats. Lots of curses that are bleeped out. Some of the crew members are really mean to others. Put the kids to bed, grab a snack and… read full review »

This show is very addictive to watch. I love it. I do feel that the little ones need not be in the room for it though. The show does block out the foul language but being the fact that it is a show about all guys and what guys… read full review »

I love this show but I must admit that during the season when Mike Rowe wasn't narrating, I stopped watching. As good as the show is, it's really not quite the same w/o Mike Rowe's voice and style. Great show… read full review »
