TheBlackFox Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I watched the first 8 episodes of Pirate Master with my daughter tonight. . . now she's addicted and has the hots for Ben Fagan. . . she's only 13! I hope we get enough of the cast out in July for our Pirate Master Reunion/Pyrates Way 3rd Anniversary Par-Tay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poopdeck Pappy Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I loved that show and then they took it off the air; hard to believe when you see the shows they keep. BATTLESAIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricane Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 It went off the air because no one was watching it - the ratings sucked. The premiere episode pulled only a 2.3/8 rating in the all important 18 to 49 demographic. Total viewership was only 7 million. It was moved to Tuesday in hopes of pulling it out of the dumper and there, the ratings dropped to a just 1.6/5 rating with only 4.6 million viewers. That was the death knell. Only pirates and pirate fans seemed to be watching the show, which couldn't capitalize on the success of Survivor. Compare that with the "Baseball" documentary on PBS (yes, public television) that pulled in 43 million viewers, the 1994 Olympics with 204 million viewers or the final episode of MASH with 125 million viewers. I find it funny that the magazine is just now running a series on a show that was cancelled two years ago. Seems like there's other things that would be more interesting to the pirate community than a show no one watched or cared about. -- Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

LadyBarbossa Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I found Pirate Master to be absolutely hokey! Didn't like it at all. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

bosun red Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I couldn't even give it a chance as soon as I learned what station and time it aired they switched times on me. But I do agree about the crap they actually do keep on the air and all the same thing at the same time on all the channels. Bosun Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I sent in an application to be on that show....(yeah.. along with a couple thousand other people.....) anyway, I've only seen a few episodes of Survivor, and what i wanted to do was set-up a mutiny...Hey the winner of the game is the jerk that can screw the most people the most efficiently (in front of alla America.)... dang... I want to work with that back-stabber?.... The mutiny I wanted to set-up is a contract between all team members, that we all share the spoils(the million is split between alla us ($10,000 and you win with honor, ....)... and work together to make sure of our team won the whole stinking game.... Sure the producers would hate us.... but I kinda think the sodded American TV viewing public would find us the darlings of tv.... hey... it's the unity, and team spirit that made America Great.... (and a few other fun "buzz words") But when does the "viewing Public" get tired of sucky lying bastards " winning"... is that what we have become?... or would they think they had the fortitude to stand up for what they beleave in... the American Way... and be a part of the winning Team.... with honor and justice.... (see, the idea reeks with buzz words...) And after meeting Jey Leno, he might take me for a ride in his steam car....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Pyrat Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I have to agree with Lady B, although I did watch it. The most interesting thing I thought was the props they used to set up the challenges.

Graydog Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) <-- Apparently one of a very few people on this planet that liked the show. Well me and the wife that is. I have very much enjoyed talking about the show and reality TV in general with all the cast members when I have run into them. To me its been fun to get some insight to the inner workings of these things and to get a participant's view point vs. the aired directors view point. Fair winds, -Greydog Edited April 8, 2009 by Graydog Why am I sharing my opinion? Because I am a special snowflake who has an opinion of such import that it must be shared and because people really care what I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
