Dog the Bounty Hunter

I have watched this show and I applaud the actions of Dog and his team.I think it is great that Duane "Dog" Chapman involves his family in his business.Too many men are too busy trying to make a name for themselves and they leave their families on the sidelines forgetting that if it was not for their families support they would not be in the position that they are in.Dog does not forget that he respects and appreciates his family.The fact that he stepped up to the plate when it came to his son Leland and taught Leland the ropes really speaks volumes about what kind of a stand up person he really is.Not only that but Leland is one hot looking guy so what is not to love about the show.

Dog The Bounty Hunter is a show about a family who lives and works together. They own and operate a bail bonding company called Da Kine (The Best) Bail Bonds in Hawaii. The show follows Duane "Dog" Chapman, his wife Beth, his son Leland, his nephew Justin and a close friend who he considers a brother, Tim Chapman (no relation). The main focus of the show is "The Posse" track customers who "skip" bail on them and must be captured and turned in to the police otherwise they do not collect their bond. When the customers "skip" on them, Dog and crew track down the "fugitives" and "bring them to justice" all while juggling a home and family life. The main reason I enjoyed the show is due to the fact that this show brings an up-close-and-personal view of what "bail enforcement agents" really have to do just to make ends meet and still try to live a normal suburbanite family life.

When you come across "Dog the Bounty Hunter" on the television, the first thought that goes through your mind is, "these people just stepped out of Wrestle Mania 1985!". "Dog" Chapman is a bounty hunter in the Hawaiian Islands, and he, along with his family, hunts criminals that skip out on bail. The best part of this reality show is the personalities of the people involved in the hunt. Dog and his wife are the perfect match of eighties aqua net hair and biker duds; if you saw them on the street I promise you would stare. After the fugitives are caught, and often manhandled and maced by Dog and his cohorts, the Dog always attempts a heart to heart with them to convert his captures to a better way of life that won't lead them behind bars. Dog thinks it is his duty to try to help because, long ago, he once was a fugitive involved in killing a man in a drug deal gone wrong. Now he hunts those like he once was, trying to right his own past wrongs to society.

A&E used to be the network for programming superiority just as CNN is the undisputed network for excellence in providing news.

Alas, times have changed and A&E has gone the way of other tasteless networks like Fox. By broadcasting Dog the Bounty Hunter, it is really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

The show is about a grandstanding family of bounty hunters in Hawaii. They can't do anything with even a modicum of dignity: they make a production, no pun intended, out of every foray they engage in to keep the world safe from nasty, unwashed bail bond jumpers, many of whom are family friends.

There's no way on earth that they would be able to set up shop on the continental USA. Law enforcement authorities simply would not condone their posturing and proselytizing. Even now I wonder if Dog shouldn't be wearing a clerical collar and claiming to heal the sick, so deeply has he become entrenched in his viewers' psyches.

I really miss the A&E that once was before it started pandering to wrestling fanatics who also think that Dog the Bounty Hunter is reality. A more gullible TV audience does not exist.

Watch out! Here come de dog!

That's my opinion and it has just as much validity as yours.

A fine and entertaining reality show depicting what happens to deadbeat losers that don't follow the rules of the bail bondsman. Watch as Dog smashes and trashes his way through the slime of the earth, and be thankful that there are people out there willing to do what the Dog does. This is normally a thankless and relatively low paying job that few are willing to do. If it weren't for people like the Dog, willing to risk their lives every time they go out, there would be much more riffraff out there. Certainly a superior program to 99% of the commercial filled, trashy, not remotely funny sitcoms(filled with canned laughter every other line of dialogue), and moronic, dull, made for pea wit dramas that fill the network airwaves night after night. A unique and refreshing change from the usual trite teenybopper fare. THE DOG RULES!!! Watch and learn.
