When I first saw this on television when channel hopping, going back years and years ago, I saw this guy and thought who on earth is this guy not realising that later down the line that it was going to be a programme that I was going to watch and enjoy on a regular basis.
Dog The Bounty Hunter is based of Duane "The Dog" Chapman and his family that are real life bounty hunters. An ex con that has turned his own life around and now encourages people that are in the same boat as what he has been in to do the same.
Working in Hawaii with his family, including his wife, Beth, his brother, and his son and daughters, the whole family follow the lead of the dog that goes round trying to track down people that have missed their court appearance and jumped bail and will hand them in to the authorities.
Although its real life, their is a certain air of comedy to it and it follows the family around like a reality TV program and shows you into their personal lives aswell as their jobs as bounty hunters. You see the ups and downs that the family have, both happy and sad, the births of new additions to the family and the losses that they have encountered over the years.
They are not always successful at what they do, however more often than not they do catch the bad guy and some are more notorious than others. Majority that you see are normally the likes of drug dealers, however some of the cases deeply disturb Dog himself and he has to greater lengths to try and catch these villains than he should do and landed himself in more bother, in one case he crossed over the border of Mexico to catch a criminal in which they are not allowed to do and landed himself in prison.
What makes me laugh is when they actually catch someone and they pile them into their people carrier one of the first questions that they ask is "Do You want a ciagarette", without fail and this makes me laugh as you know it is coming on every occasion.
For something a little different I love watching this programme, its entertaining and not full of rubbish like some reality TV programmes.
