No, this comes on A & E. I saw the first episode, but I didn't find it all the exciting. Of course, I don't really watch any reality TV because I don't find it exciting.

Ugh, god no. Now I wouldn't consider this a thread crap since the thread is asking a question. Is it the best show on tv? Nope. Is it even the best reality show on tv? I still have to say no. I found it annoying. I stopped watching when I figured they would not show some bounty blasting ol' dog in the chest with a shot gun.
Now that would be good tv.

I gave it a Tivo season pass and we've been having good mindless fun watching the episodes.
Finally got to see them use those mace cannisters that they carry.
They were like turning a garden hose on somebody.

Yeah this past week episodes were good because there was a little action when the neighbors got all pissed and had to be blasted...Either than that, the show is a little boring, and what is up with his annoying ass wife? She would be the first person I would empty a can on.

I had an extreme dislike for this show at first, but I've grown to somewhat enjoy it. Still, the "we're gonna help you, bra!" after they take someone down that they are afraid will kill them just seems nuts. The family either is borderline insane on helping criminals "change" their lives or it's all for the show.
This is tolerable, but best reality show on TV? No way; nothing beats the Amazing Race.

It's not a "reality" show in the contemporary sense because its foundation is not concocted strictly for TV. It is, to be charitable, a fly-on-the-wall documentary series in the mold of COPS. The question is, how much of this group's activities are for the camera's benefit.
It's also a fairly good example of not judging a book by its cover. These people look like lowlifes (actually, in contrast with much of the Hawaiian population they look like a bunch of neonazis running around all in black leather and tattoos), but appearances are deceiving. The main guy, who reminds me of a less-muscled Hulk Hogan, what with his geezer machismo, is actually quite sensitive. He has expressed his distaste for guns and violence, and he always seems to be more interested in helping the fugitives than mercilessly hunting them down.
The wife is also enigmatic. While not exactly articulate (none of them is), she seems aware of the ridiculousness of her outfits, yet she still constantly shows herself in plus-size, tacky American-flag apparel, with her prodigous jugs exposing cleavage you could use as a luggage compartment.

Is it me, or are they showing these shows out of order big time? Lately, they've been talking about initiating the nephew, but he's been making the busts with them all along.

The mullet should alternate "bra" with "cat", "homes", "G", "boyeeeee", "jive turkey", and "you're a right kunt, you are", just to keep his poser jargon a little variegated.

Just started watching this show, I always seem to come late to the party. I'm enjoying it a lot, although it may get repetitive. I would really like to think that the Dog and his family are really that spiritual and helpful, and not just putting on a show for the cameras. Dog's wife is pretty hot too, despite being a big girl.

It's an alright show. Caught it a couple fo times, pretty repetative though. It's funny, most of the people I see get captured always say "I watch your show all the time"...I guess that's what people on the lam do...watch other people on the lam get caught.
And isn't his "team" just his two or three sons? I guess the white trash apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
