Dog: The Bounty Hunter.
 

Ia anyone watching this show that's on A&E? It's not bad if you are into these types of programs.

I live in Hawaii and absolutely love this show! I guess it's because I live where all of these things are going on and can relate to how Dog and the rest of his crew feels. Drugs really are a huge problem here and I'm glad to see the fight against it!

A few months ago they had an episode where the went to the "worst neighborhood in Hawaii". In the background you could see my sister-in-law's apartment. She agrees that it is a bad neighborhood.

I just started watching last night's new episode, and then browsed the boards and saw this thread... So I felt obligated to post.

Yep, I've been watching it since the beginning, still as good as ever. The one-hour man-hunt a couple weeks ago was simply amazing. It's a shame there aren't more episodes similar to it. Maybe this show is just my guilty pleasure, but not much television has been as enjoyable as when Dog goes all out on a hunt for a fugitive.

And of course, I'm always amazed at the integrity and character Dog displays, even while still being one hard-ass mf'er.

Only been watching for a few weeks, but I really like the show. I'd like to know more about Dog's past, before he came to do the Lord's work. :)

Why do they call everyone "Bra". Is that some kind of new retarded slang that's in Hawaii? "Where is he Bra?" "Get over here bra!" I don't get it.

He was in prison for murder at one point in his life.

D'oh! I've heard him talking about being in prison, but I figured it for drugs.

BTW, I think 'bra' is a shortened term for 'brother'.

CG you just missed Montel William's show dedicated to Dog. I don't normally watch Montel but this show was interesting.

Now, from what Dog said on Montel's show(mind you I'm going from memory)... Back in '76 Dog and a buddy had just pulled up to a home on their motorcycles and as they pulled up they heard shots. Although he claims he didn't do it, Dog says that in TEXAS where this took place, you can still be charged with a crime if you're near the crimes scene or some shit like that. I can't remember exactly how it goes. Anyway, Dog only got 5 years. Did he do it? Only Dog knows...

Anyway, while in prison he became a Prison Barber and the shop was located just on the outside of the prison. Well, one day he saw a Prisoner attack a Guard and make a run for it. The Guard got back up and was about the shoot the fleeing convict in the back but Dog begged the Guard to let him catch the guy and to not shoot him. The guard somehow agreed and Dog ran and tackled the guy.

So Dog eventually got out and due to his Prison Record he couldn't find work and got $200 behnd on his Child Support and had to go before a judge. He was thinking he was going back to jail but somehow that Prisoner catch story made the rounds and the judge recognized him and offered him a chance to make the money by going after some guy. Well he did and the money payed the Child Support. Dog said that this Judge just gave him a chance and that made all the difference in his life.

The rest is history.....

I started watching this show a few months ago and love it. This is what all reality shows should be like: Action, characters and humor. :)

Very interesting. Thanks for the info. :thumbsup:
