I really can't think of the last time I was so excited for a new season of a show to start. And to make it worse I have to wait until the 1am airing. I don't remember what they are but I already have two shows being recorded on it's normal timeslot.

If you don't want to stay up late or record it, Discovery will be re-airing this episode on Thursday at 10 PM.

I wish they would show this on discovery-HD.

They do...at least according to my Verizon Fios DVR...I am DVRing it on the HD channel.

Not according to DirecTV.

My cable doesn't have it listed as HD either. I could be wrong but I doubt they would have taken HD cameras to film this. If it is showing on a HD channel it's probably still 4x3 and just up-converted. I would be nice if I were wrong though. Please let us know how it looks.

It should be high drama tonight.

mike rowe needs to narrate every show on discovery/tlc, haha.

Solid first episode. However, I am disappointed in the in your face sponsorship(the Lexus radar, the Yellow Pages crab count, etc).

Better to have sponsors pick up some of the bill than to have no show at all.

True, but it's still annoying.

If I were Sig, it would be like NASCAR on the high seas with logos on everything.

crazy beginning.

it wasn't clear to me, but i assume it was.

A cross between him and Rutger Hauer.

First time i watched the show i thought the same thing.

It was shown in a 16x9 aspect even on the SD Discovery channel, but is not on Discovery HD at all...kind of like Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs, and others.

episode currently on. tough start to the season, but it's starting to pick up a little with them starting to pull some test pots.

well im hooked. i just love watching these guys do their jobs -- and i cant say that about too many people's jobs. hehe....great stuff so far. cant wait for this week's episode.

I guess that the guys from the Maverick weren't kidding when they said that they wouldn't fish with Blake at the wheel. Too bad because I always liked Hiram.

I wonder what happened to the Rollo. No mention of them this season.

Good riddance to Hiram. He was a grouchy old bastard.

Anyone that quotes Ric Flair can't be all that bad(Stylin' and Profilin').

...and judging my Blake's performance to date (with much help from fellow captains) it is their loss since it is looking pretty darn good so far.
