Over the years, something about watching crew members risk their lives for the next big score has resonated with fans. There is a constant element of man-versus-nature as the crew members battle the weather and each other to try and make a living.

Major Change To Popular Program Has Fans Fearing The Worst
There has been a major change to Deadliest Catch that already has some fans fearing the worst. When you get to Season 21, as this show has, the topic of whether a program like this will get canceled is something that regularly comes up. Adding this recent change to the mix, it is concerning a lot of fans that their favorite show is heading to the chopping block.
It turns out, the show moved from Tuesday to Friday, and this change has a lot of fans worried that the show will soon be cancelled.
- One recent commenter said, “Friday night is the graveyard these days. It probably means this is the end of the show.”
- A second commenter added, “Yeah that’s usually where they send the shows on their last legs. The show is probably pretty cheap to produce, but it may be a good idea to let it rest for a few years, and then repackage it when people actually miss it.”
- Another person said, “Graveyard slot, where shows go to die. They know the viewership base, if it does well enough it takes a dead slot that they don’t have to fill with anything else. If it slips then they have an excuse not to continue.”
