Deadliest Catch Finale, After The Catch Complete.

This season of Opilio crab is over for we television viewers, and I for one am sad to see it end. No, I'm sure the crews are very glad it's over, but the viewers hunger for more.
"Deadliest Catch" will no doubt go into reruns, or disappear from the lineup, as "Dirtiest Jobs" gets set for an all new season. Mike Rowe is fun enough to watch - that's why I started watching "Deadliest Catch". His great voice put something terrifically interesting into what might have been a show meant for "guys". You know what I'm talking about: "Deadliest Police Chases", "Most Violent Crimes" etc., etc.
I found myself tangled in the nets of "Deadliest Catch" after watching only two episodes. I caught it in reruns, and had a long way to go before catching up on who was who and which boat have which captain. My viewing paid off big time. The show is a raging success. I also watched because I once knew a fellah who used to go out on the cod boats during the winter as a grunt in the engine room. He spoke of high seas, snow storms, ice, and deadly waves. What he came back with was a renewed respect for the ocean and a pocket full of money. During the summer he's pull in nets of curb-dived garbage, selling it at a local flea market and reaping big enough amounts that he and his assistants had a very nice paycheck. I was a little jealous of him- I could never quite figure out where he got the nerve to do any of it on his own. From him, though, I've learned the love of dumpster-diving.
Just tonight I scored a lovely bonsai pot which I will sell on Fleabay because I intend to move apartments shortly, and won't have room for it. *cough* But back to our main subjects: I was very happy to see The Northwestern's greenhorn get his jacket. He did such a good job, and pushed so hard that he deserved it. That Sig took his own jacket off and gave it to him also had an air of real ceremony. Sig's just one bang-up guy. His family seems nice too.

"After The Catch" was funnier and louder this time around, especially Sig's story of the woman who scared him half to death in the back of a bar when he was very young.
"Almost lost my virginity in the back of ____'s Bar", drew a lot of laughs.
Phil explained - it was a local woman (big with no teeth) who would harass the young deck hands by grabbing their privates under the table. What she really wanted was a beer - and then she'd move on. Silly.

I can't explain how much I'm going to miss my Tuesday night ritual. I guess I'll have to go back to watching "Boston Legal". Eh. To think I was heartbroken when BL was in reruns! I switched over to "Deadliest Catch" and became hooked! Oh, well.
If there's one good thing about it, season four is a likely to be fun. and so long as they have the viewership (and the captains and deckhands agree to do it) "Deadliest Catch" will continue to grace our televisions for a few more seasons.
