Deadliest Catch

Yea, I'm the same as the Professor on this one. It by no means takes away from my deep respect for what those guys do though. They lay it on the line like no other profession. The show has lost my attention span but i check in from time to time.

I agree it's old. I catch an episode every now and again but it is the same thing...

Actually I saw a best of (the worst) deadliest catch which was mainly about nightmare rescues at sea and that was more interesting. Jezzzz perhaps I am a little twisted...watching guys die at sea for entertainment.

I'll be watching, going to be sad to see Capt. Phil go later in the season!

Program is getting old and stale. Players are thinking their actors now.

Now watching Dumbest Criminals/Stunts. No shortage of idiots out there.

Unfortunately the glut of celeb-reality shows has tainted what could have been a number of untapped markets.
Now you have self-deluted characters that are more attuned to the cameras than their crews.
You have shows like "Ice Road Truckers", "Ax Men", "Swamp Loggers" and a few others that the "captains" or "foremen" are definitely playing up to the cameras more than they should.

If it hasn't already happened, it won't be long before the History Channel and Discovery Channel become just another TLC.
(It's no longer called/considered "The Learning Channel" since there is nothing educational on it any longer.)

The premise of "Deadliest Catch" was unique and bold in the beginning, but the novelty has worn off, and some viewers only check in when someone gets hurt or dies.
It's the car-crash mentality: slow down to see what happened, but don't stop. Channel surf around, but only stop and watch when there is a big diaster/problem.
