Re: Ice Road Truckers
 

They seem to be riding the concept of the Discovery Channel's [I]Deadliest Catch[/I], which is a great show.

Re: Ice Road Truckers
 

On my DVR can't wait to watch it. I agree hooskins, trailers definietly seem alot like the deadliest catch which is a runaway hit.

Re: Ice Road Truckers
 

that show looks cool! I need to add to my DVR.

Re: Ice Road Truckers
 

that show is pretty good. its kind of a copy of deadliest on discovery. but its till a very danguras job to have. i cant imagine driving for like 10 hours strait when im on a frozen river.

Re: Ice Road Truckers
 

I watched it was pretty awesome. I still think deadlist catch is better, though I have had enough of that show as well.

Re: Ice Road Truckers
 

it is a complete copy of deadliest catch.

Re: Ice Road Truckers
 

I'd expect it to be similar. Both shows are from, I suppose the somewhat ironically named, Original Productions

Re: Ice Road Truckers
 

I'll be checkin' this out now, especially since this season's Deadliest Catch just ended.

Re: Ice Road Truckers
 

I am a viewer of Deadliest Catch since the beginning, but I think it's run it's course. I mean, how many times can we watch them pull the cage up on the boat? At some point it becomes us waiting for someone to fall in the water. They're not breaking any new ground. If I were Sig, I would get out before the show jumps the King Crab if it hasn't already.

Re: Ice Road Truckers
 

Anyone else not that impressed with king crab legs.

I love the show, but being from Maryland... it's kinda hard to work myself about eating shipped frozen crab legs.

I'd go blue crab every time over a king crab.

Re: Ice Road Truckers
 

Deadliest Catch is repetitive when they pull the crab. but there are some very funny moments in the show. oh yea, 70Chip, do you know about how much each person on a ship makes????? well they make from 30,000-60,000 dollars each season. there are two seasons in a year, opelio and king crab. so that means they make almost 80,000 dollars a year.

Yeah. I saw the Hanson brothers interviewed by Donnie Deutch. I think the captains make more like 500k clear. They earn it as far as I'm concerned. Just watching those boats go up and down makes me ill. I just think at some point it's like, okay, we get it. I'd actually be more interested to find out what they do the other eight months of the year at this point.

Have any of you seen "After The Catch"?

Yeah, I have, it's good to hear about the things that were not televised. I like the deadliest catch cause I love the ocean and traveling by the ocean...I am more into the waves than anything.

I did not watch the show, mainly cause I thought the advertising sucks. A truck travels across ice...that's it? That didn't peak my interest.
