Missed it. Thank God Discovery will rerun it about 8 times between now and next week.

Those types of shows are pretty much all I watch now...Ax Men, Heliloggers, American Loggers, Myth Busters, Ice Road Truckers....

It really puts all the "hard work" at your job in perspective huh?

It least it does for me

Watched the king crab season part of season 1 last night.

$10K plus for 3 days is pretty good. I'm neither jealous nor feeling guilty while watching it; they're living the lifestyle they choose, complete with rewards and risks.

I will say, though, that I just got into it with one of the marathons that was on within the last couple weeks, and have now gone back through netflix to the earlier stuff. Writing and narration has come a long way. I swear, he mentioned it being the deadliest job on earth twice between each commercial break the first few episodes.

Interesting note is that Rowe was initially going to be doing on-camera narration, but when they picked up Dirty Jobs as well they determined it was best to keep him off-camera if he there could be a death one hour and fart jokes the next.

The fishermen and the US Coast Guard who work there just blow my mind.

No matter what the weather conditions are the USCG goes out to rescue.

Sad to see someone die, at least the body was recovered

Such a good and moving episode that I'm re-watching it now! If this season keeps delivering like the 1st 2 episodes have, I think an Emmy is a distinct chance this year!
