Editorial Review:
Venture into the dark waters of the Bering Sea with eight crab fishing boats and their crews through the world's two most difficult and dangerous fishing seasons. Captain Sig Hansen of the Northwestern returns to match his skills against his old rival, Phil Harris of the Cornelia Marie, and a new challenger, rookie captain Blake Painter of the Maverick. With rough waters and fierce weather, the captains and their crews will be pushed to their limits of mental and physical endurance in their search for the elusive red king crab and opilio crab. Experience the extraordinary daring, skill and endurance required for this time-honored trade in these 11 episodes, and enjoy bonus behind-the-scenes footage capturing the difficulty of day-to-day filming on the rugged seas.
Deadliest Catch - Season 3 Reviews:
Where's the Theme??? 
2009-09-29 - I am a TOTAL Addict of this show, and this is the first season I've bought the DVDs...I just started watching tonight, and couldn't believe my ears...no Theme song!
I backed it up twice to be sure, as I LOVE the Theme song...about 'ride a steel horse'
and while the music is very similar, there are no words; This is a real bummer for me, and I doubt I'll invest in more DVDs. Anyone know why this is?
I love Deadliest Catch 
2009-07-02 - From the very first episode of Deadliest Catch that I watched I've been absolutely hooked on this series. Despite having 200 channels of Cable TV HD service I very rarely watch tv. Most of the time I spend on my computer with movies playing in the background.
However I make sure I am watching Discovery HD every Tuesday night to catch the latest episode. Having said that it only made sense for me to actually own all the seasons of DC on DVD. Season 3 is really the season where DC starts to shine. Now focused on a smaller set of boats, the audience really gets a chance to get into the lives of each boat crew in depth. The backstories come full circle and you really feel like you are right there on deck experiencing both the highs and the lows of crab fishing.
Blake missing out on his chance to become captain, Nate being arrested in port, unfortunate situations requiring Bairdi crab fishing instead of opilio, it's all there waiting for you to watch. If you are a fan of the show this season certainly won't be a disappointment to you.
CRAB IS KING
2009-02-23 - HAVE ALL 3 YRS. READY FOR THE NEXT SEASON. YOU WILL GET HOOKED. I HAVE AND WILL NEVER COMPLAIN ABOUT THE COST OF CRAB.
Crabby Captains Catching Crabs Makes for Good Viewing
2009-01-29 - This is an addicting little series from the Discovery Channel. The captains have become folk heroes of sorts. I turned into Martha Stewart one day and she was interviewing Sig Hansen and his brother while cooking a crab dish for them.
No matter how much the crew earns on these crab runs there is not a viewer on the planet who would say their overpaid. They have sleep depravation, injuries, work cold and wet, bicker amongst themselves, wrestle 700 pound pots and face the real threat of being washed overboard and freezing in the arctic waters but they struggle onward so we can have our appetizer of crab with drawn butter.
Us loyal viewers learn the jargon of the crews and long to learn more of our favorite captains: Blond and handsome Sig Hansen of the Northwestern, acerbic Phil Harris of the Cornelia Marie, the wiley Hillstrand brothers (Johnathan, Andy and Neal) of the Time Bandit.
This is a show that you never lose interest in watching and is well worth your time and money. I'm going to give this same review to each season. bg
Great Discovery Channel Program
2009-01-07 - This is a very good series on fishing for crab in the Bering sea. It shows the personal side of the fishermen and the jobs they do.
