Yeah. Swamp Loggers was okay (at least interesting and sort-of fit the theme of the channel) but the rest definitely were a jarring shift to lazy reality shows.
Deadliest Catch started when those other shows were still on, and the first bunch of seasons were good. In more recent years, the “will they find crab” story was getting too repetitive, so now they’re manufacturing storylines. I had to stop watching a few seasons ago because the bad acting from fishermen was just too cringy. I would lump it in with the other reality shows now.

Sounds about right. I dropped cable in 2010 or thereabouts so probably right around the time that shifted.
Lmao that show is still going?
