Dog the Bounty Hunter will be finding its way back to the A&E network. The network executives who are his masters have decided to give Duane "Dog" Chapman a second chance after he was caught on tape saying racial slurs about one of his son's girlfriends. A&E spokeman Michael Feeney even said that he believed Chapman wasn't a racist.The show involves Chapman and his crew (which includes his fifth wife Beth and some of his kids) chasing down bail jumpers in Hawaii and other states. He previously had gotten in trouble with the Mexican government for his actions (bounty hunting is illegal in that country).
When I think of Dog the Bounty Hunter, I tend to think of the satire done on an episode of South Park when Cartman played Dog (loved it when Cartman parodied the philosophical rhetoric of Chapman which he does while taking prisoners to jail). Reruns will begin on A&E on June 25th with original episodes starting a few weeks later.

Glad to hear. It's nice to know that there are people in power out there that realize that it's not a word, but it's the feelings that a person has, and how they use a word that's the problem. And I really did not see, hear, or suspect any malice behind what he said. As a matter of fact, he was afraid of it being taken out of context, just like it was.

I can forgive, ignore, or excuse Dog's language and mentality, but I can't do the same with A&E's decision to air this lame show. I've seen like 3 episodes of DtBH and the one conclusion that I came to is that one episode probably would have been enough. I mean every show's the same crap over and over again, brah. What happened to you, A&E?
And how did this violate the sanctity of the reality-free zone? heh

Finally!! The Dog with be back on TV. It's really a sad thing when someone can be so berated and punished for talking privately in his own home. Not that I agree with the things he said in his home, but frankly, no one should have heard his private conversation anyway. It is a shame that family can do family that way.
