 :O

It was a good show for a while but losing four of the best captains on the show in less than two years might be the death of it.

Dad always said dont  $&%^ where you eat....... Looks like Discovery never heard that saying. I agree that without   Phil, the Hillstrands and the Hanson brothers the show is dead......What the heck were they thinking? I wonder what that show brings in in revenue for Discovery? More than $3mil i bet..............dumb arses  :mad:

The Harris boys signed on for this year, but I'm betting if they can find a way out of it, they will. Johnathan, Andy, and Sig were too good and too close to them for the Harris boys to turn their back. But the Harris boys are in a bad way financially, so they may not be able to get out. Keith Colburn will do anything for a buck, I'll be surprised if he bails. Wild Bill might bail, he's pretty close to Johnathan and Andy.

It's pretty sad, the Discovery Channel has made a ton off of those guys. And their suing Johnathan and Andy for more than they were paying them. About ten times more than they were paying them.

I was still enjoying the show, even though Phil is gone now, but this Bravo Sierra will mean the end of it for me.

Hmmmm.... article is kind of "lacking in details", as they say.  Definitely nothing to form any opinion on, like you have.

I was a big Catch fan, and it never would have been quite the same after we lost Phil.
Truth be told, in some respects its better this way.

I know that the Hanson and the Hilstrand boys are out there. But I don't have to watch it anymore.
Big shots at the Discovery channel make more a month for sitting on there butt than those captains do in a year of hard work. They tried to treat those mavericks the same way they treat all the hollywood stars and wannabe's. That just isn't going to fly. So as far as I'm concerned greed killed it.

Even if it does come back on the air again I won't watch it.
It just isn't going to work like it used to.

To all the boys on the Northwestern and the Time Bandit, this ones for you.

Salute!

I'll miss ya
Y'all be safe up there!

Discovery stepped on themselves with golf shoes on this one. They should have spent more time trying to work out their differences before going to the lawyers. WTF were they thinking the others on the show were going to do when the lawyers filed the suit?

Time to cover the hole, the shows been dumped in the cemetary.

I liked the show for awhile, but after the last season, it was beginning to sink (no pun intended)

I wouldn't be surprised if they threw this season together with a bunch of unused footage from the last couple of years. They were on the Trailblazer (a local boat) two years ago for the full season and never aired any of it. The rest will really come down to contracts. But being at odds with the fleet isn't worth being on that show.
