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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
