About once a year I can count on getting sucked in by a show on Discovery. Past shows to grace my TiVos season pass manager include Monster House, Wing Nuts, MythBusters and American Casino. I'd been hearing some guys at work talk about their newest Discovery fav, Deadliest Catch. I hadn't been interested enough to go out and look for it on TV. I mean it's a fishing show about guys who smell of fish and are out in so much cold that they have icicles on their beards.
Then yesterday, faced with a rainy day in Georgia, I found myself being a bum in front of the tv. And what did I watch? Deadliest Catch. Not just one episode...I found the marathon and had consumed at least 5 hours of that show before I went to bed. I don't know if its the elements, the danger the narrator keeps on telling us about, the Bon Jovi theme music, my efforts to guess the number of crab in a pot, or just the thought of eating so much yummy Alaskan crab.
Get out the peanut and set a wish list...
Deadliest Catch.
