Starting tonight at 9pm eastern on Animal Planet. This looks like it might be a cool show.

Quote :: Get Tanked
Tune in Fridays at 9 PM E/P, beginning August 19.

Following the antics of two brothers-in-law as they run the largest aquarium manufacturing company in the nation, Tanked dunks viewers into the high-decibel, family-owned business of Acrylic Tank Manufacturing (ATM). Led by business partners, best friends and constant rivals Wayde King and Brett Raymer, this 13,000 square foot facility, located in Las Vegas, produces some of the most outrageous, larger-than-life and one-of-a-kind tanks for some of the most striking fish and clients around.

No job is too big, too far, or too outlandish as Wayde and Brett travel the world to make fellow fish enthusiast’s dreams of having their own little piece of the ocean a reality. They've created tanks to look like pyramids, spheres, phone booths, cars, kegs, the female anatomy and much more. Their work is customized to fit intricate and interesting locations including restaurants, casinos, banks, hotels, churches, corporate offices, mansions, museums and zoos. Working with opinionated and outrageous family and staff, including Wayde's wife, Heather, and Brett and Heather's father, "The General", the show reveals the stress, success, and sometimes dysfunction, of a family business that has been running strong for 14 years. Tanked brings the secrets of the underwater world to the surface with a comedic twist, leaving viewers amazed and enthralled with each project from conception to final reveal.

Guess I will have to try and catch it this week. Did you watch it?

Hmmm. Guess I'll hafta try to peal myself outta the fishroom one of these nights to catch it. Kinda lost faith in Animal Planet after watching one episode of "Finding Bigfoot". It was kinda like Mystery Science Theater 3000 meets the Beverly Hillbillies. I hadn't laughed that hard in a long time, no wonder folks don't take cryptozoology seriously.

The first episode was OK but the second one was even better. It is a pretty good show compared to some of the other crap on TV.

I caught this show for the 1st time the other night it is a lot better than hillbilly hand fishing. i WANT TO ASK WHAT THE HELL IS THE POINT OF THAT THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL I WOULD PUT MY FOOT HAND OR IN SOME CASES MY WHOLE BOBY IT A UNDER WATER HOLE and let a catfish grab me

lol...I watched that show once and it seems to me like the guides are the ones really catching the fish in most cases. The other people let the fish bite them and/or block them in a hole. The ones that physically pull the fish out with their hands are catching the fish IMO.

Haven't watched Hillbilly Hand Fishing. Sure's pretty discouragin' what this country has come up with to replace "The American Sportsman"...
