Deadliest Catch Losing Three Captains?

[Dichotomy]

I wonder how much equipment might get 'lost at sea' if Discovery tries to go out on any boats this year?

I'm sending the Discovery Channel a note with my regards...................... .......

Incorrect.........Im able to form an opinion thank you. Reading your above post, and not knowing you, has given me the opportunity to form another one.

 

 

From that article, nothing is said about who is responsible for the situation, nor why it even happened.

So, what if Discovery payed them 3 million bucks, and they just didn't live up to the contract?  As contracted scientist, I am fully aware that if I do not meet my contract on time and budget, I will be negligent in fulfilling the contract I signed, and owe the full balance of the contract in return.

I'm sorry you took it personally.  Simply stating fact.

never understood the appeal with that show.  if you saw one...you saw them all.  if anything ... it was like a overly dramatic soap opera...for males.  never thought it would last to season #2...so what do I know?

No, as usual you're talking out of your rectal orifice and "stating" conjecture.

FYI, as of the day of the OP, there were over a dozen articles on the subject at hand. Only a fool would assume that no one read any of the other articles.

No, Johnathan and Andy were not paid anywhere near $3 million for one special, any fool with 1/2 a brain would know that, there are dozens of professional actors with hit series that don't get $3 million an episode.

I'm sure the $3M were estimated total production costs.

I'm also sure this gets resolved (settled).......and all of them go back to work.

this is how deals are negotiated, many times in hollywood.

Yeah I'd be surprised if Discovery didn't do something to correct the situation with the captains to get them back on the show, they know that without the Hilstrands or Sig and his crew ratings will drop and would be the death of the show, and that shows a cash cow for them.

[ZetaNine]

there's no quote from discovery... just the lawyer of the fishermen.  it's a negotiation.

I think when it's all said and done...that "other" show gets scrapped.......and everyone comes back to work with big raises.

I was told a while back that one point of contention the fishermen had a year ago..was that Mike Rowe (the VO guy) makes more than any of them do.

I seriously doubt they spent anywhere near $3 million total. It's damned near a cheap documentary. The only "production" is the "After the Catch" show.

I would not be at all surprised if the suits and the lawyers tried to replace them. That you do not understand the "allure" of the show should be a sign of that, the lawyers and suits don't either.

Those guys don't care that much about money. That you don't understand that is another sure sign as to why you don't see the "allure" of the show. They're cut from an entirely different cloth than the vast majority, that's the reason a lot of people really like those guys. Most people don't understand that.

If it ain't resolved by now, it likely won't be, those guys are fishing already, they're out for bait and the early crab seasons already.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a big Mike Rowe fan also.
But no way that its right that the narrator gets paid more than the captains and crew do.

Personally, Hollywood may expect to negotiate this away and bring it back.
But I'm guessing that Sig and the Hillstrand brothers have maxed out their BS meter's and are done period. Their pride and sense of honor is going to make it tough for them to want to come back.

Pretty much.

As for last season only watched a few episodes for the obvious reasons.  The Time Bandit, and Northwestern are the most interesting boats to watch IMO. Can't really stand the Wizard capt. myself so if it's just him well. Think I've watched every season through the years so i guess I'm a fan of the show.     Hillstrands
