Dog the Bounty Hunter

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.

This show is great. Not only entertaining but teaching life lessons, it's really a good show. Whomever said it was garbage is crazy and needs to stop hating a awesome show. It's interesting and real. Leland, dog's son, is hot too. The Chapman family is doing a service to the community and helping people get their lives back on the right track. Dog and his crew are great and should be applauded. It doesn't matter what Dog and his crew look like, they are helping people and that's what matters. I strongly urge you to check this show out, it's really good. It's on A&E ON Tuesday nights at 9pm in my area (east coast). I highly recommend it.Trust me, you won't regret it at all.By the way this site is great for finding movies and actors.

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.

Duane "Dog" Chapman is a truly good man. He does his best to help people. He fights crime at the root of the problem, by trying to help offenders in the early stages and thus prevent them from straying further down the criminal path.

Duane Chapman is totally against drugs, crime and injustice. He cares for his fellow man and instead of just talking a good game, he actually gets up off his butt and does something about it. He is a man that can be held up as a role model of decency and honor. He is a caring father and a loving husband.Above all else, he is a decent human being

I never miss an episode of "Dog The Bounty Hunter" and I think it's the best reality show on today, as well as the best TV show on the air in general! Duane "Dog" Chapman is a caring, decent and good man, who overcame many obstacles in life, to become the world's most famous Bounty Hunter.

His motto's of "We can't just arrest them, we have to fix them," and "Where mercy is shown, mercy is given," reveal him to be a lawman with a heart of gold.

Dog is a role model for young and old alike, and I hope he enjoys much continued success, and many more seasons of new and highly entertaining television.
