"Deadliest Catch" will bring another 10-part series full of fishing in the Bering Sea.

10-part series?!? I sure hope that's a typo!

I know, that was the first thing I checked... but corporate could have made a typo, right? ... RIGHT?!?

We can hope it's a typo! It's always a possibility ... look at the new photos for the new season as an example ... I think we all here on the forum know what Norm looks like... that ain't Norm holding that Red King crab... so mistakes can easily happen.

Now wait a minute... is the PRESS RELEASE talking about Season 8 or Season 9?

Alaskan crab-wranglers fight the most dangerous working conditions, including 40-foot waves and 80-mile-per-hour winds, in the gripping 10-part series DEADLIEST CATCH. Far in the Bering Sea's frigid waters, 250 boats tempt fate and nature in "The Last Rodeo" season trying to bring in a season's catch of the highly coveted and lucrative Alaskan king crab.

it mentions the 2012-2013 schedule - so maybe it does mean season 9..... (said hopefully)

I am thinking it is 10 parts to the King Crab season series.....

Sounds to me like they're talking about the derby style fishing days before the IFQ system was enforced...

That's what it sounds like to me too...There were 10 episodes in that aired in Season 1, right? I think Disco is looking for a way to give themselves some more time to get all the editing done since opies lasted so long.
