"After The Catch" Finally Catches Up

Last week's opener episode was just a flash-back of previous episodes. It was almost as though Mike Rowe and the various Captains were feeling out the new program. It's a mini-series spin-off of "Deadliest Catch", airing at 10pm on the Discovery Channel (right after "Deadliest Catch".)



When I wrote my first published article for Associated Content last week (YEAH!), I gave "After The Catch" a fairly thumbs-down review. Sure, I was harsh. If they wanted to create a miniseries that would keep me watching, they 've really got to engage me. Playing pieces of old episodes that they thought were the viewer's favorites didn't turn out so well.

Now this weeks episode was fantastic! Tales of rough seas, 80 foot waves, 200 knot winds, rouge waves and interviews with the captains who were there was wonderful.
Especially interesting were the stories of the cameraman who kept asking Sig's little brother, "Are we gonna be okay?" -takes another shot - "You're sure we're gonna be okay?" Hysterical.

I used to enjoy Tuesday nights for "House" and "Boston Legal", but since "House" is in reruns or not on at the same time it used to be (I caught an ep on Monday) and "Boston Legal" isn't making me laugh anymore, "Deadliest Catch" and "After The Catch" are now my favorite shows on TV.



You should try them sometime. That's Discovery Channel @ 9pm and 10pm Eastern.
Go Sig and The Northwestern!
