There is another show like this on HBO called Family Bonds,but I think this one is better. I think this guy (Dog) was in jail for murder. If anyone has seen this what do you think about it? Is it worth watching? I can't never remember when its on so I only caught a rerun of maybe 2 episodes so I don't know if it gets better or worse.

Dog was not in jail for murder. He is a big-time bounty hunter. He was jailed in Mexico when he tracked a rapist (from a very wealthy family) down in Mexico who skipped town (he had the means to do so). There was some sort of altercation when Dog found the guy in Mexico and tried to bring him back when Dog ended up getting arrested by the Mexican authorities. Dog was released within a few weeks (my memory is a little rusty how long he was actually in jail). Fox News Channel covered this at length in trying to get the American authorities to assist in getting Dog released.

Lexie - this is posted on Dog's own web site:

Dog is Duane Lee Chapman, owner of Da Kine Bail Bonds in Honolulu and self-proclaimed “greatest bounty hunter in the world.” Six thousand-plus captures over the past two decades have earned this highly intense, charismatic ex-con and born-again Christian such a distinction.

He is the modern-day Billy the Kid — minus all the weaponry. “Regulators,” he’ll often bellow to his supporting cast of bounty hunters, which often includes family members and friends, “mount up!”

He’s also the king of comebacks — a modern-day hero who was once a zero after serving time in a Texas prison for first-degree murder. It’s a conviction he claims was unfounded and later candidly discusses, for the first time ever, with MidWeek.

“I am what rehabilitation stands for,” claims the man who’s been profiled on such TV shows as The Learning Channel’s Secret World of Bounty Hunters and Court TV’s Anatomy of a Crime, and whose Predator’s Predator column at www.crime.com receives a bevy of hits on a daily basis. “I did time in prison, and that made my mother and father — not to mention the public — very ashamed of me.”

Okayyyy... I stand corrected. However, I was under the misguided impression that Xena was referring to last year's incident (which was all over Fox News Channel) when he was jailed by the Mexican authorities when he was down there apprehending a rapist. Thanks for clearing that up Kimmy!!!

Sorry Lexie_girl, I didn't know about the incident last year or I would have been more specific.

I think his son with the long hair is soooo cute! His wife is a bit much sometimes though....heck they both are when they are together! I think it's pretty entertaining though.

I agree,but I also think that the "DOG" and his wife are totally meant for each other. The episide on Tuesday was pretty funny.

I've been watching this series for a while. I find Beth and Dog's relationship amusing and entertaining, and I think Dog's heart really is in the right place--meaning that he is truly trying to help bail-jumpers turn their lives around. He tends to get a bit preachy, however, when he's making an arrest, and he can get a little over-the-top, but I think he does a good job. He uses minimal violence while making his collars, makes a personal connection with every arrest, and he keeps his family uppermost in his thoughts as far as their safety and well-being are concerned.

Lately I haven't seen the Dog's youngest kids on the show. Didn't he have one or two tow-headed little girls that were shown on at least one episode earlier this year? I'm sure I saw one or two very young cute blonde girls about three or four years of age. They'd be his children with Beth, right?

Sia, he and his wife have 2 girls and 1 boy I believe. I do like how he gives the fugitive a little bit of hope for the future.They might have a chance.

I ABSOLUTELY love this show... can't tear myself away from it. It is much better than the show on HBO... I watched one episode of that FAMILY BONDS or whatever it was called and felt the need to watch tivo and see DOG... LOL, this is a great show! Beth makes me crack up, they have a real love/hate relationship don't they? Plus they are BOTH horndogs... its humerous to say the least!

I love this show! It is funny to see Beth give him her look and call him "Big daddy" :-) And yeah Leland is pretty hot too, so thats just an added plus cuz Dog ain't all that pretty to look at! :-)

xena,i want to correct what was said about dog the bounty hunter,lexie_girl said that "DOG" wasn't ever in jail for murder,yes he was. he got sent to prison for murder and served his time for a crime he didn't commit.he also was a member of a motorcycle gang at one time too.his show comes on every tuesday @ 10:00pm on A&E and they usually show two shows back to back,and i think the star of the show is beth she keeps them all in line, but the "dog" is the man. beth reminds me so much of my wife, they act the same,which my wife's name is beth too.later on Iceman

I'm not a fan of the "Dog", and I manage to avoid the show. This show is nowhere near "watching an accident and can't turn away" status. From the couple of episodes I saw, it was repetitve and boring.

I love this show! I look forward to it being on on Tuesday nights. I love looking at the Hawaiian locations and wondering if I was there (especially the seedier ones--I wonder if I was there and didn't realize what a bad neighborhood I was in at the time!). My DH and I also crack up at Beth. What a piece of work she is! Every week she finds a reason to get pissed off at Dog. He seems to be able to take her in stride, though, and they even seem to get a kick out of her tantrums.

I had to quit watching because Dog just excites me in ways that an old lady shouldn't be excited.

Talk about the good girl/bad boy attraction. I see who he is, I see that he ain't pretty, I suspect he is a bit of a con, yet looking at him and listening to him stirs up stuff in me that is best left unstirred.

I sincerely hope that the love for Beth, and the concern for his fellow man is real.

I actually watched this for the first time last night. I like him! He felt so bad in having to pick up the guy that had helped him when his son was arrested but he had to do his job.

Puppy sneaks in and admits that she has started watching the show and LOVES it.

Hehehe Sunrvrose - with me its Leland rather than Dog but I know what you're talking about.

And where do I get me some of those nifty blue camo pants??

I, too, love this show (think I said that above already, sorry). The only thing that frustrates me is that they only seem to have about five episodes and seem to rerun them in a perpetual loop. We've seen some of them several times. Now when we turn on the show on Tuesday nights (and sometimes when we catch A&E using it as a half-hour filler), we watch about 30 seconds until we determine that we've seen it already. Get some new episodes, A&E!

Holy freakin crap, half, what's a nearly 60 year old chick gonna do in those cammos? (Oh, you meant that for puppy) Hell, I'd like to look good in those, come to think of it.

Half, Mocha and Puppy, I appreciate your appreciation for my dilemma. And I'm glad I made your day, Half, cause I was thinking he was really hard...I mean difficult.

BabyJax, I know...geeze, can we have some new ones, please. (Not that I'd watch, of course)
Or, at least I'd keep some fingers over my eyes.

I read on the A&E web site that they're supposed to start airing "all new episodes" on April 5. Maybe they'll give us three or four new ones before they start rotating them again. Yippee!
