What is their actual fishing season? It would be cool to monitor their boats on AIS.

I've become addicted to Flying Wild Alaska. Some of those off airport landings are amazing. Hope it lasts as long as Deadliest Catch.

Hi Zach, Me too! Deadliest Catch is about the only thing I watch on TV. The highs and lows of fishing for crab is exciting for me. I would have liked to have tried that when I was younger. They work hard and play hard.

I think one would have to be half mad to do that job. But I do admire them.

Too much DRAMA for me. :facepalm:

They are told how to act to keep the ratings up.

Daniel Tosh said something hilarious last week on a comedy special on comedy central....He said to all these people that say a bad day of fishing is better then a good day at work...Look at one of their boats that on its side with two crew members dead and the rest on a raft waiting to be rescued...Do you think they look at the camera in the coast guard helicopter and say "It could be worse, I could be at work"...

When I first moved to San Diego as a young man, I was out on a pier fishing one night when an old man ambled up to me asking if I'd like to go up to Alaska and do the crab boat thing. Said he'd done it for years, but was retired from it now and got paid to find new recruits.

The old man had one eye, a peg leg, and was missing all the fingers from one hand. I declined.

When is and what channel is that Flying Wild Alaska? I've run across it by accident once and really liked the show.....

Agree. Just like any other "reality" show. But, I still like to watch it anyway. Can't wait for the new season to start. It's still better than most shows out there....

Flying Wild Alaska is on Discovery channel.

Most reality shows that last more than a couple seasons become a victim of their success. The producers need to keep up interest in what tends to be the same thing over and over, so they encourage the cast to create some conflict. Seen it happen time and time again.

Seems like Deadliest Catch would be compelling enough by itself...Rough guys doing a rough job...I know I would want to break someone off if I had to work 18 hours a day and live with them also...I don't think there is a added drama for tv's sake...

My 7 year old got me into Deadliest Catch last year. Don't have much time for television, but I do like that show a lot. I'll be watching it again with my family this season... Looking forward to it.

Rest in Peace Captain Phil...
