Another Discovery Channel Addiction...

Well we already know I love Dirty Jobs. But another show that leaves Rusty asking the same question ("Why do YOU watch this?) is Deadliest Catch.  See here's the thing.  I hate hate really really hate seafood. Fish, shell fish, lobster, crab. Pretty much if it came from water I am NOT eating it.

So the fact that I never miss this show all about deep sea crabbing baffles most of my family.  Like last week when the show was centered around a fishing boat that went down. I was riveted! And I hate catfish! But I tell you what, when they found survivors after 18 hours in the Bering Sea - I cried- just a little bit, pregnancy hormones and all.  Plus the fact that Mike Rowe, Dirty Jobs host, does the voice over commentating is an over all bonus.  
So, if you are looking for some entertaining -check out Deadliest Catch. And you will be forever grateful for where that yummy (?) King Crab comes from next time it arrives on your plate. Hmm, and I am sure Mike Rowe has done a show about making butter, so that should make you extra grateful...

I've never seen this show but it looks exciting! I have always hated seafood up until about 3 years ago. Maybe you'll grow to love it like me. But until then, I don't think you'll like my latest post about a crawfish party. Yummy!

I have never even heard of half of these shows. If you are so CRAZY BUSY where do you find the time to watch all this STUFF????

Ummmm, hello? At night after 'crazy' and 'busy' have gone to bed!

Ha ha ha! Okay, so I've never paid attention to what channel this was on or anything, so everytime I've heard the name I've pictured some kind of an "America's Most Wanted" show or something. Fish? I don't eat it, and I don't think I'd like to watch it either, but maybe I'll give it a try!

I don't eat anything that came from the water either! Shrimp, fish, etc. Yuk. I haven't ever seen this show - sounds interesting. And I love your above comment about watching it after "crazy" and "busy" have gone to bed. I LOVE my time in the evenings after kids are in bed. It's nice to have a couple of hours to just unwind from the day.
