I almost feel slightly ashamed for not updating my blog as often I usually do, but I’ve finally found MY show. All year long it seems like everyone has been obsessed with Dancing With The Stars, American Idol, Lost, and House. While I’ve watched them all, I just never could get to that point where if I missed an episode I would just die. (That hasn’t happened since Beverly Hills 90210 for me.) But then E.B. and I stumbled across a show we could both agree on AND lucky for us they show reruns often AND there was even a three day marathon over the Memorial Day weekend.
The Discovery Channel has hooked me (no pun intended) with Deadliest Catch, which follows several Alaskan king crab fishing boats and their crews out into the Bering Sea to show how king crab and opilio crab are caught and the dangers these men put themselves through to make a living. It’s intense, action packed, and educational all at once.
I’ve even purchased a book about it, subscribed to several Deadliest Catch blogs, and have watched Deadliest Catch reruns ad nauseum. And then I finally rejoined the real world today and remembered, “Oh yeah…I have a blog to write!”.
Now somebody out there tell me you watch this, too.

I watch that show quite often, too, Mandy. A hard life, for those people, that is for sure.
Jenny says
My husband and son love this show.

Oh gosh. I love Phil from the Cornelia Marie and then there is the Time Bandit (love those dudes too) and the Northwestern… okay I love them all. This show is good enough to be considered a cardio routine. My heart sure does get pumping. You just never know what will happen and most importantly, how they will respond to it. It’s great!
Yeah, who would have guessed that you could be hooked on a show like this? I’ve been an avid watcher from the beginning. 🙂

My husband and I both love that show. We’ve been hooked ever since they had their marathon last year at this time. For some reason though I’m always hungry for crab after it’s over!!

I watch it with Honey.
Ok, usually when I watch stuff with Honey, I’m sitting beside him reading while he watches whatever because I couldn’t care in the slightest, but he wants me to watch it with him.
But this show always sucks me in and I usually don’t get much reading done while it’s on.
