Deadliest Catch returns this April in HD on Discovery Channel

While the vast majority of reality TV refuses to make the expected leap to high-definition, the producers of the Deadliest Catch aren't letting a few camera hazards scare them off. As predicted, Discovery Channel's hit series is splashing back this April for a fourth season, and yes, it will be broadcast in HD. According to the release, this year will see quite a few "injuries dominate the crab-fishing season," and there will also be exclusive content available via the web and Discovery's mobile portal. The action starts once more on April 15th at 9:00PM ET / PT, but viewers can get brought back up to speed by catching a two-hour "Best of Season Three" recap on April 8th at 9:00PM ET / PT.

Good to see more and more shows make the switch.

Mike Rowe is the best.

Wasn't season 3 in HD also? Or just widescreen?

Last season was fake widescreen. Can't wait, this is one of my fave shows!

If Deadliest Catch feels it's safe enough to go HD, I suppose CBS is out of excuses for Survivor not being in HD, huh? CBS always says they don't want to have those expensive new cameras out where they may get damaged. Well, CBS, Discovery is making you look like a bunch of reality weenies.
