The Deadliest Catch -- man, this is my favorite show on tv right now. It is FREAKING AWESOME! A bunch of men on boats catching crabs - I can't even explain what's so great about it. We make sure that we're in front of the tv every week when it comes on.
The crab fishing fleet in the Bering Sea is reported to be the most fatality prone fishing fleet in North America. Deckhands make anywhere from $25,000 to $60,000 for several weeks worth of work. Last week they were fishing in a hurricane strength storm! It finally did get bad enough that the captains called their crews in from the deck. There are so many things that can go wrong, and the consequences are serious. We cheer for their good fortune.
In case you're interested, it is on Discovery channel on Tuesday at 8pm central.
