Tuesday night’s season five premiere of Deadliest Catch got off to a good start on Tuesday night with 4.16 million viewers making it the most-watched airing in the show’s history.
The April 14 season opener set a high-water mark, breaking the previous record established by the season three finale, which delivered 4.07 million viewers on June 19, 2007.
This week’s show also bagged record demo deliveries, including adults 25-54 (2.78 million) and viewers 18-49 (2.6 million).
This is great. I love this show. Do we have any info on what kinda number Mythbusters gets.
They should send these guys to fish off the coast of Somalia to bag some doped up pirates. Just put a few 50 caliber machine guns on the deck, a 3 inch gun and shoulder fired heat seeking missiles.
Bad Robot — “that” show will be on Spike, which has already announced plans for a pirate reality show.
Brent: we won’t see the numbers for last night until next week, but the numbers for a week ago Wednesday can be found by clicking the link in the navigation for “Cable Top 20″ (it wasn’t in the top 20, but we list several other shows, too).
Didn’t ‘Deadliest Catch’ was being called faked last season?
@ cool, that grammar is HORRIBLE
kudos to discovery channel for interesting promotion of the show, ads for it have shown up in the game “rainbow 6 Vegas 2″
Cool – your post was horrible. You totally lost any audience … no big deal. I think DC has been pretty fake from season 1 … the whole quota system killed any real competition.
