Season Premiere of Deadliest Catch – Off to a good start!
What did you think of the first show? Was it my imagination or was there also a second episode right after? I only caught part of it since I didn’t know about it. Here’s a clip after the jump from the first show, in case you missed it.

Yes, there were two episodes. Second one being “the truck” . I think it has something to do with the writers strike.
I’ve watched DC from season one.
And like some other lady wrote…..I live my life through you guys….good luck, stay strong, be safe.

I also caught both shows. Even though there were two, the time flew by and they were over faster than I wanted them to be! I loved when Capt. Phil’s hands were shaking after his confrontation with Jake about the television. Anyway, safe season and good thoughts being sent your way!

I also caught both episodes. I was glad I didn’t switch the channel after the first one. The truck prank was hilarious! Loved it! You guys have a great sense of humor, but I’m guessing that gets you through a lot. If you’re ever in Bellingham, WA stop in at the harbor. We’d love to meet you guys!
I also love that my initials are on the front of the Cornelia Marie. We have something in common :-)))

I was absolutely THRILLED that there were 2 episodes last night!! That meant more time to see my favorite boat in action!
I can’t wait to see what you came up with to get back at the Time Bandit!
I’m glad you boys are back. Life is too boring without the Deadliest Catch!

I was thrilled as well to find out two episodes aired. I think taking the price of the TV out of Jake’s pay would be a great lesson!!

Did you get a fine from the EPA now that the world knows that you dumped a truck into the Bering Sea?
There is an Airplane graveyard in the desert outside of Phoenix. I’m sure that you can find something there to pay Johnathan back.

Love the show! Watched all weekend (even on the tv in the breakroom at work). I loved the truck prank too, I can’t wait to see what you
come up with in return! I am just in awe of you guys and the work you do. When I see the shots of the huge waves crashing over the boats, it’s scary but also incredibly beautiful. Take care.

I loved the first episode of the new season! I keep telling my wife I want to work on the Cornelia Marie but I know from watching the show that first-timers at age 37 don’t last very long! I’ll stick to software development.
This show is the most captivating thing I’ve seen on TV in over 30 years!
I love the Cornelia Marie!! It’s now my favorite ship! I’m gonna be eatin’ a lot of crab from now on to support the industry!
Good Luck!

It was great seeing DC back for season 4. I could not turn off the tv after the first episode aired, and voila’ another episode of season 4 was on. I had to keep telling my self it was a new episode and checking crews for affirmation in my own head.
I just sent Phil an e-mail but I hope he is taking it easy! Sexy man has been sick. Girls do not wear him out this summer! Yeah, I would too!
The truck was hilarious. Classic. Hillstrands are funny, but I know Phil will get his one up on them! It is great to have DC back! Thanks God, it was a long cold hiatus!
Keep up the great work, Cornelia Marie Crew…we all love you!

Haven’t missed an episode in 3 years. I really admire all the brave/crazy guys and gals that go out there every year just so to supply us average folk with a luxury like crab. Can’t get enough. And I, too, look forward to seeing the payback for the truck. That was classic.

Loved the 2 episodes last night! I have been counting the weeks till the 4th season came on! I couldn’t wait to see you guys again! You and Sig and Jonathan are my favorite! Loved the truck prank that Jonathan and Andy pulled on you! Can’t wait to see what you do back to them! It ought to be good! :) That was so funny. And I agree with the others who posted on here, I’d take the $800 for the TV out of Jake’s pay. He wanted the tv, he’s watching the tv (not the whole crew in like a lounge are) so he should pay for the tv, not you. He certainly makes enough money. Time the young man learn some responsibilty….and if he don’t like it take it away from him and you keep the tv…you paid for it. But welcome back Phil, I look forward to seeing more and I certainly hope you guys stay safe through the season and please take care of that high blood pressure. And I hope you did quit smoking like you said you were going to! :D Love you guys!

I’m curious if Jake will be able to enjoy his little flat screen treasure…
Be Safe…

Hey Phil – LOVED the show last night. The look on your face when the truck came up was priceless! *grin* I can’t wait to see how you get back at the Time Bandit boys! The only thing I could come up with was filling one of their pots with rubber duckies! Hand Jake your statement when it comes and tell him it’s HIS responsibility! I spit coffee all over when you made the lion remark! Then I went and thanked my son for NOT doing things like that to me! Did you really quit smoking on Jan. 1? If you did – I wouldn’t have wanted to be anywhere NEAR the Cornelia Marie for Opelio season! YIKES! Let us know how the quitting goes – I’ve got the Chantix sitting on my table (haven’t started it yet) and figure if YOU can do it – so can I! Thanks for letting us in on your world – I know it can’t be easy having the cameras around all the time. I can’t wait for next week’s episode!~

We have been waiting for the new season to start, and we were not disappointed. I got to meet you Phil, also Larry, Greg, Ragnhild, and Sig last year at the Food Fest in Ballard Washington. You guys are just awesome. It was like talking to old friends.
Both episodes last night were fantastic. Now I can’t wait til next week. Phil if you want to prank Jonathan, take Jake’s big screen tv, and replace his pot with it, then make Jake pay for the thing out of his share.
Hope you are doing well. Please take care of yourself, we want you around for a lot more seasons.

Wish I knew there was a second show but it will be on next week. 2nd, I would club that little turd-even if he was my own! Don’t they make tons of cash on their own to not need your card? Tough love sunshine, it’s for your own good. Your health isn’t it’s best right now and you just don’t need the stress of petty sh**, take your pup and relax. We love having you around.

So exciting that there were 2 episodes on last night. It was ALMOST enough to satiate my need for a crab fishing fix. I was convinced that it was going to be the same episode twice, but the details on the DVR interactive program guide set me straight. I have never failed to watch AND DVR an episode since it was the mini-series “America’s Deadliest Season” and have since moved to the Seattle area. My favorite thing to do when I have friends and family up for a visit is to drive by the terminal where the boats park in the off season. You guys on the Cornelia Marie are some of the toughest and most put together people in the public eye. Thanks for letting America ride along with you and reminding folks that seafood doesn’t just come from the grocery store. My Godfather owns a seafood company and I have a cousin who fishes on the boat his father died aboard- so I have a special place in my heart for people who make a living on the open water. Thanks for the great job and for taking the time to educate and entertain while you work!
Yeah- and I hope you made Jake pay you back for that TV- PLUS INTEREST.

Goodness, I just finished watching the 1st 2 hours of your new season, and I don’t know where to even begin. First of all, I surely hope that you took that new TV out of Jake’s butt….LOL…. or at least made him pay for it himself, but I know you are probably one of those softhearted Father’s and just gave Jake a chewing out and made him think twice about doing that again.
Your boys look great, they even looked liked they have grown up a bit since last season also. And you my dear look GREAT in this new season. You had a fresh haircut, freshly shaved and you even looked like you may have dropped some weight, if so, that will be good for your high blood pressure becoming lower and stablizing more. Now, I know that in reality that your 2008 crab fishing season is over with and can’t wait to see the outcome of this entire new season. My question first off is, “did you quit smoking as you said you were going to in January as you and the other Capts. talked about while having that drink before your crab fishing began”? Hmmmm…. I am betting NOT since you guys are always under so much stress and anxiety. Just holding all of those lives in the palms of your hands, I would say that it would have been very hard to quit smoking, UNLESS you did quit after the Opie season was over. That also would be good for your high blood pressure. I am not one to be preaching because I myself have high blood pressure and I also do smoke and slowly trying to quit.
Now, let’s get to that Time Bandit PRANK, that took a lot of balls to pull that one off. How and why he thought about attaching a truck to one of your lines was something outrageous and hysterically funny. I was so glad that you had a sense of humor about it, because I laughed my butt off. I can’t wait to see if you are going to return the favor with something just as crazy. But you have to admit, that one would be pretty hard to match or even beat, unless like Johnathan said on the show, “you would have to top that with a plane or a helicopter”. Oh, I’m sure you had something up your sleeve.
Looks like the crab have not found their way to the potts yet from the way the season started, but from all of the previews that I have seen of this new season so far, it looks like you all were going to do just fine and I can’t wait to experience the journey with you all. I am hoping that you, your sons, and your entire crew had a safe and rewarding season. I plan on watching every episode and possibly even watching them several times over. I really enjoy the show, keeps me on the edge of my seat with waiting and anticipating what will come next. I know that you are not supposed to reveal any information of the show reguarding outcomes, so I will not ask any other questions, but instead will just send you an email now and then to let you know how much I have been enjoying watching you and your boys and of course your crew. All of this probably sounds odd coming from a woman, but I do enjoy watching this show. I am a true southerngirl born and raised in New Orleans and I love fishing also, just haven’t done your kind of crab fishing.
So for now Phil, take care, write if you can, and I will continue watching. I don’t expect to actually get a real email back from you because I’m sure you have someone doing that for all of you. Please believe me, I am NOT a stalker by no means, I just know a GREAT show when I see one, very good people when I see them, and the word REALity definitly fits the show, it’s a VERY REAL LIFE journey.

Hi Phil :)
You have my admiration for putting with with your boys… Jake and his new TV thing, I would’ve had it ripped off the wall, stuffed back in the box and back at the store (and the kid would also be paying the repackaging fees for that little trick, too)… why do you let Jake get away with that???
My dad was a sailor all his life, over 50 years as an AB Seaman, and he had a fishing boat for a few years (running out of Bodega Bay Calif)….. what an experience! I was the youngest and dumbest so I got to be the bilge pump.
Now I watch your show and enjoy all the stories that everyone brings to the table… the show brings up my own memories, too, stories my dad told me of his trips all over the world, and especially the memories of what we we lived through together on our “Julie Bell”.
It sure feels good to have guys like you and Johnathan and Sig and all the rest of them to finally speak out for the fishermen. It IS one of the worst jobs ever, and one that is utterly undefinable as to why some guys keep coming back each season. I just hope that it all makes a few folk think twice the next time they get a crab dinner and recall just what it takes to get that crab onto the dinner plate.
Good luck & God Speed, Captain… to you, your crew, and all the other souls on board… most of all, come home safe!!

So happy that the new season has started! I’ve been counting down since January. Yes, there were two episodes. TV Guide only listed the first one as new. Lucky for me I was taping the first episode as I was watching it. When the second came on I was able to hit the record and tape that one too. My daughter is a HUGE Deadliest Catch fan and is overseas in Wales for a few months (we live in PA). So, I’m taping them for her to watch when she get home and sending her a blog of what’s happening on each episode to saisfy her DC Fix. I think she misses the show more than she misses me, LOL! Stay safe!
