Deadliest Catch loses all Captains within one year!

Shows over.

You can only watch crabs in a pot so long. What has given the show longevity is the story of the captains and crew on each boat.

Discovery is suing the Hillstrands, and the Hansen in a show of support left the show. Couple this with Phil Harris's passing and it leaves you with one of the 4 main captain left, which is Capt. Keith of the Wizard.

Done. The show will tank based on this news alone.

All over a one-time spin off that, in all common sense, was probably too much of a good thing, should have never even been considered.

Too bad, was a great show.

The Hansens was a big reason why I watched and I was curious to see if Edgar returned this year. Guess I'll never know. I'm a big Mike Rowe fan, now it looks like he needs more Dirty Jobs. I liked Captain Phil a lot, but I really felt like the show exploited his death a lot in the last couple of shows and that didn't sit right with me.

Mike Rowe will be fine, most anything he touches turns to gold.

i don't think they exploited it at all .... i think they did a pretty respectful job of showing it - it was definitely a part of the narrative and it seems that those who were involved with the boat seemed OK with it as well

They've settled their differences. Sig, John and Andy are all coming back.
