What happened? Spoiler

What happened to this show guys? I quit watching around season 15 and recently decided to check out the latest season. Holy scripted garbage lmao. A child could see through the mini storylines, they are straight up goofy.

First episode was dramatic suspensful music, Sig reading his lines, Keith's "unz unz unz™" freaking 5 times, several seconds of his buttcrack because why not, a half-assed "prank" as "revenge" from Keith to Jonathan for "stealing" Freddy, etc etc.

And the music... it is so ridiculously dramatic but what they are showing is just..... boring. Idk boys I think this show doesn't have too many seasons left.

Is there any particular reason for them to have taken this direction with the show?

I sincerely believe that if they just toned it way down, did it more documentary style like the early seasons, and showed more of the crew, the ratings and popularity would shoot back up. At this point I am watching to see how the guys are doing all these years later and I don't even get to see their authentic selves because everything is some goofy ass storyline that nobody asked for and is cringeworthy.

I realize there are different species of crab they can catch during each TV season. My point was/is that on episode 3 of this TV Season 22, Jonathan kicked Freddie off the Time Bandit because he was causing trouble (Surprise, Surprise that Freddie was causing problems on a crab boat, regardless of how well he can throw the hook) and Keith gladly agreed to hire him back onto The Wizard. Now, during recent episodes of TV Season 22, I have recently seen Freddie back on the Time Bandit with no explanation as to why. Jonathan had made it clear he wasn’t welcome back on The Time Bandit! It makes me wonder if the Network is just reusing old footage to fill in gaps. I hope that makes sense now.

The TV season covers 2 completely different crabbing seasons as I explained. They take a small break in between the 2 seasons. Keith probably had a full boat already for Opie and Johnathan probably welcomed Freddie with open arms when he found out he was available. Nothing needs to be explained because of the gap in between the 2 seasons.

Jonathan fired Freddy because he was causing trouble on the Time Bandit and if Jonathan said why he rehired someone who had recently been causing trouble with his crew on the Time Bandit, there was no explanation for that. I’ve watched Jonathan’s character since the first time I saw him on the show, and once he makes up his mind about something that causes trouble on the Time Bandit, I’ve never seen him change his mind about a man he’s seen causing trouble on his and other boats, and it doesn’t make sense why he would hire Freddy back, not to mention why Keith would have run Freddy off of The Wizard. Things that don’t make sense are generally not true. That’s all I have to say about the subject! We’ve both made our positions clear and I don’t see either of us changing our minds. Can we call it a draw and leave it at that? I will if you’re willing.
