Anyone been watching Deadliest Catch on the Discovery Channel? I've just begun watching this show and already I'm addicted -- a real nail biter!

I have seen it. While I lived in Alaska I knew many men who were on the "boats" so it got pretty common to me. But it is still amazing what they have to go through.

I agree, I really had no idea. I mean, I knew it could be dangerous for fisherman but the show offers a who new perspective on how these men truly put their lives at risk.

I watch it, but really can't figure out why! But, I like Dirty Jobs, too (when I remember it is on.)

I watch that one too whenever I can catch it. I tell people that I don't really watch a whole television but then when I start thinking of the shows I like to watch - I think it's a lot after all.

I shot my TV a while back... that naked guy on Survivor. He just pushed me over the edge.

Here in the UK,on the Discovery channel,they've just started to show season two of the series.Would I go crab-fishing in huge seas,getting soaked through,with the threat of falling overboard.No way!
I salute the brave souls that do however,to earn a living.Great stuff.
