Spilka Sun, 25 Jul 2010 17:25:16 +0000 http://blogs.vnsny.org/?p=2377#comment-1476 The whole series of episodes has been well done, especially last week's where the family had to tell all of the other boat captains of Phil's death. I hadn't realized that the show had been on for as many seasons as it has, and so I didn't know that these guys had been through hell and back multiple times. I feel confident in saying that the way Discovery has memorialized Phil has been tasteful and demonstrated how many fans were touched by his story. BTW, this Tuesday's episode is the season finale. Be well. The whole series of episodes has been well done, especially last week’s where the family had to tell all of the other boat captains of Phil’s death.

As most of us groan at reality TV as fluff entertainment, your blog really makes an example out of what it can do to help someone if content is dealt with care. Abby, you make a great point here!
