    The_NightHunter

    The best show on TV today!

    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.

    Greatest Reality Series On TV!

    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.

    Once Classy Network Goes to the Dogs

    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.

    great things

    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.

    Quality Reality TV

    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.
