'Deadliest Catch: Season Five'
(Mike Rowe, Keith Colburn, Phil Harris, Sig Hansen, Andy Hillstrand, et al / 5-Disc DVD / NR / 2010 / Discovery Channel)

Overview: The top-rated, Emmy®-winning hit series DEADLIEST CATCH takes viewers deep into the most brutal fishing seasons on the planet – red king crab and opilio crab. Brave the icy, black waters of the Bering Sea with Captains Sig Hansen, Johnathan and Andy Hillstrand, Phil Harris and Keith Colburn and their rugged crews daring to gamble high risk for high reward. Dirty Jobs’ Mike Rowe narrates as brutal storms, grueling hours, heavy injuries, violent tempers and fierce competition push these men over the edge.

DVD: 'Deadliest Catch' is a documentary television series produced by Original Productions for the Discovery Channel. The series documents the events aboard fishing boats in the Bering Sea during the Alaskan king crab and Opilio crab fishing seasons.

The show has no on-camera host. Instead, narrators provide commentary and verbally connect the storylines as the show shifts from one crab boat to another. Discovery Channel voice artist Mike Rowe describes the action for North American airings; UK voice artist Bill Petrie, reading from a slightly altered script, offers a regionally familiar accent for the English speaking viewers of the show in Europe.

The show transitions between boats using a mock-up radar screen that shows the positions of the boats relative to one another and to the two ends of the fishing grounds, St. Paul Island to the north and Dutch Harbor to the south.

Interactions between the film crew and the fishermen appear in the show occasionally. I mean, during an episode of season 4, Wizard captain Keith Colburn was seen demanding that cameras be turned off when he got into a heated argument with his brother, Monte Colburn. The cameras were turned off, but the Colburns neglected to remove their wireless mics and the subsequent exchange was recorded and featured in the episode.

The same season, Cornelia Marie crewmember and later acting captain Murray Gamrath, concerned for the well-being of injured captain Phil Harris, was shown requesting the film crew keep a close watch on Harris. Sadly, during this very same fifth season, captain Phil Harris passed away.

In a TV interview on the April 10th edition of CNN’s Larry King Live, Captain Phil Harris tried to pinpoint while he and his TV crab fishing peers are so popular. “We're doing something that 99 percent of the people can't do.” Harris said. “It's tough. It really is. And I think guys -- when they were younger, it's something they always wanted to do but for whatever reason they didn't?” This is a Widescreen Presentation (1.85:1) enhanced for 16x9 TVs and comes with the Special Features of:
