So THIS is what I’m missing out on by not having advanced cable!!!!! I never in my life heard of Deadliest Catch…sounds like another murder mystery show. Girl, I thought I would fall out of my chair, laughing over this!

Ack! After reading this I had to check out your crab guys and now I’ve got to have my nightly crabboat fix via the itunes store. Plus someone in comments mentioned Ice Road Truckers, and that one’s got me too! We don’t have cable because I don’t want it to suck all my time away, but itunes and your post are doing me in.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who just has no time for television. It must have something to do with this blog addiction I picked up a while back. Any spare time (and even that is rare lately) goes into my laptop.

I’m so out of it that I get around to the hot shows several years after they’ve run off the air. I watched every single Chicago Hope episode in the middle of the night while nursing my second child (because by then it was in syndication and I could record it on my VCR). I’m currently watching ancient episodes of West Wing on DVD because everyone told me for years I would like it and I finally got around to proving them right. Maybe I can look forward to enjoying The Deadliest Catch sometime in 2010.

I loved Chicago Hope – can’t remember who was in it either but loved it. I am also out of the loop. I have no time for myself, much less watch TV. However, I did watch Deadliest Catch last season – LOVED it. Haven’t caught much this season. I enjoyed your blog!

Oh my goodness… you are my total TV twin. I have never in my life watched The Office.

I didn’t even know there was a Jim or a Pam.

But I TOTALLY dig the “we might die in these here iceburgs but it will all be worth it when we pull up 1500 pounds of crabs and score a measly $247 for all our life risking” Deadliest Jobs show!

Who is making all the money? Is it your captain boyfriend or some scab sitting in the cubicle next to Jim and Pam at the office who happened to invest in a crab boat?

Smiles!

A strange coincidence, but I just wrote about catching crabs in today’s post at my blog. We found the crabs themselves fascinating…now that we’ve been so personally engaged with crabbing, I’d better check out your show.

You’re cracking me up here, and I watch so little TV I haven’t even heard of your addiction. We turned the satellite off last night to keep the kids from watching.

BTW, we do Dish Network and it includes a TIVO, so you don’t have to research it, just use the one they give you.

Oh, AM! I don’t watch much TV either, but if I get the chance to run the clicker for a minute while folding laundry on the bed, I always pause for this show! I never knew how dangerous, tough and brutal those jobs were. I have a B-I-L who once stated that he might try to do that for a few years while he figured out what he wanted to do with his life. LOL! ROFL! Those MEN would have eaten him for lunch!!!!
So, now, even though he has a law degree and a masters in English……works night shift in a hotel. Yep, that’s real ambition, I’ll tell ya. Sorry, now I’m all fired up:)
Good show, though! Good show!
