Dog the Bounty Hunter season premiere tonight

The season premiere of  Dog the Bounty Hunter is tonight on A&E:

In “Jack and Jill,” Dog believes that the family that plays together stays together. But what happens when a family’s idea of fun is getting high and running amuck? The case becomes a twofer when a brother and sister are both charged with drug related offenses. On top of that, Dog has crossed paths with the brother before. He once tried to stop Dog from arresting one of the most violent fugitives of his career. Suited up and ready, the crew heads out and descends on the fugitive’s last known address. At the door, the mother insists that no one’s inside, but Dog knows better.

Say it ain’t so! Dog the Bounty Hunter Back in Production

After an eight month slap on the wrist for saying the n-word repeated in a tape released to the public by his son, Duane “Dog” Chapman will be back on the air with new episodes of his reality show, Dog the Bounty Hunter.
According to E! , cable network A&E decided that all has been forgiven and although a date has not been scheduled for a return to the air, all things are in place to start filming new episodes for the fifth season.

Honestly, you can’t blame A&E for bringing Dog the Bounty Hunter back, because it was their top rated show. After they suspended production indefinitely on Bounty Hunter in October, the only thing they could come up with in the reality show department was the very lame and stupid Parking Wars, which would have viewers believe that 80% of parking tickets in Philadelphia go to African Americans.

With a show like Parking Wars, it kind of makes you wonder if Chapman and A&E share the same  bigoted perspective.

Dog The Bounty Hunter in Deep Over the N-word

According to TMZ.com, cable network A&E has suspended production of their reality show, Dog the Bounty Hunter, pending investigation of a tape released of Duane “Dog” Chapman’s expletive and racially charged phone call to his son.

The story, which was first released by the National Enquirer, involves a recording of Chapman, seemingly explaining why his son could not date a particular girl. It appears that Dog did not want to take the risk of ruining his 30-year career, because in his environment they like to use the N-word, and he does not want to take the chance that, “some f****** n***** heard us say n*****, and turned us into the Enquirer magazine…” Talk about self-fulfilling prophecy.

Here’s a solution: how about you just don’t use the word, and then you don’t have to worry about anything?

Chapman has already taken the first unspoken step of celebrity bigotry redemption by calling the Reverand Al Sharpton. I am still trying to figure out what they think that really does, except for maybe stopping Sharpton from blowing the situation up. It’s not a character-redeeming step. Only time will tell if the situation becomes so detrimental for Dog that he feels the need to take the next step of celebrity bigotry redemption: therapy/rehab.

Mexico Lets Dog the Bounty Hunter Run Free

Duane Chapman, star of the A&E reality series, Dog the Bounty Hunter has had charges dropped that were filed against him by the Mexican law authorities after they attempted to track down a criminal in Puerto Vallarta in 2003.

Dog and other members of his family traveled to Mexico in 2003 to capture Max Factor heir Andrew Luster, who fled to Mexico to escape several rape charges. The Mexican authorities did not want to hand Luster over to Chapman, and charged them with kidnapping. Mexico has anti-bounty hunting laws. When the Dog pack returned to their home in Hawaii, they were declared fugitives from justice. Chapman and family were finally arrested in Hawaii in September 2006.

As of now, all charges are dismissed by the First Criminal Court of Puerto Vallarta, however the prosecution has until August 8th to file an appeal.

And if they do, Chapman will be back in the doghouse. For more information click Here.
