Dog the Bounty Hunter

It's too bad that IMDb doesn't provide a whole lot of information because this show is really interesting (at least, I think it is). Basically, it's about a family of bail-bondsmen (and women) led by gruff, blue-collar (and intimidating) patriarch "Dog" Chapman. This is a literal family, mind you, where his son, brother, nephew and wife work alongside him to maintain his business. This is a man who comes from a very rough background to become a figure of redemption and responsibility for the state of Hawaii. The most interesting aspect, I believe, is watching the character study of someone who is very street-smart, unlike someone such as myself who comes from a very safe, middle-class upbringing and college eduction.

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.

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.

I just want to say to all those that badmouth Dog, you have to have something going wrong in your life. Who can look down on all the good that Dog and his crew are doing??They are not hurting anyone that doesn't deserve to go down. Dog, Beth, Leland and Tim you have my complete respect and admiration.You take the bad guys off the streets and try to make a better life for all....good guys and bad.If all the people in this world had the hearts that you guys do it would be a better place.all i can say is keep up the great work you are doing and know that there are plenty of fans that stand behind the great work you do and the great message you send to all.
