old drag queen (what cool?)
I never got what was cool about this old Drag Queen chasing guys around? Obviously, someone with the patholgy of a cross dressor or whatever his thing is, denotes mentality of a street walking trans-sexual; the nature of, so to speak. Nevertheless, I just don't get what is interesting or even cool about an old Drag Queen Bounty Hunter named dog? Of course, dog is most likely the accurate word in the whole show.

My Girls Drool Over Leland!
This is a great show. My kids watch it with us. I think that Dog is a good role modle. Everytime the show comes on my oldest daughter drools over Leland. Good show. Teaches that family sticks together.

Great show
What I love most about this show is that Duane Chapman talks to his bounties. He doesn't just handcuff them and throw them around in the back seat of his big black SUV. He sits in the back with them and tries to get at the heart of why they do drugs or commit crimes. Nine out ten times, the fugitive cries by the time Dog says what needs to be said. I also like the fact that it shows older children what life could be like if you did drugs and got into an illegal way of life. It shows the unglamorous reality of drug abuse. I think these guys are great role models and heroes for young men and women who have an interest in law enforcement.

Biggest Ego Show on TV
This family of misfits is an insult to intelligent people. It's all about hair, clothes, lookin' good for the cameras. I really don't care that some of you feel this show has merit. Dog & company know a good thing when they see it. What a waste of air space. And that people find this show relevant, I can only shake my head.

Don't cross the Dog
Shows Raw real life situations with Dog and the whole Chapman family being a very close knit and firm believer in justice which should be taught in all schools. The Chapman family do all of this and put their lifes in danger with respect and dignity still alive in their hunted. They show that even though you may have made a bad judgement at some point in your life that YOU CAN turn that around. It's great to see no scripts and teaching all that watch what REAL life is about, and we all tend to shelter our young with what life is really about. Turn on the DOG and Chapman Family and learn a thing or two.... A++++ Parents can make up their mind after veiwing a show of which is best in their beliefs and raising their children. I myself as a parent of two boys tend to want them to an extent learn about what the REAL world is about instead of throwing them out in the REAL world later in life and them being lost.

This show is piped into every trailer in the country
This guy bonds out scum bags and puts them back out on the street. He only goes after the people he bonds out of jail when they skip their court date and he is going to lose his money. If this so called trailer trash bounty hunter was not bonding out crooks he would have no one to chase. So to all of you that think he is doing good think again! He only takes down people he put out on the street.

Good values but not for the younger kids
Great show. Tries to show that although there are bad people, there are good people who make mistakes. Tries not to be violent (considering it is real life and they don't want to be in fights etc). Does talk about drugs but doesn't show other then smoking. They often let the people they catch take a last smoke before going in to jail.

He's the big bad dog!
GREAT SHOW! Has some violence to it and many of the criminals they catch are drug trackers so expect refrences to many drugs! There is some strong language but it is bleeped out so there isnt too much to worry about just know your kid before letting them watch it.

a show with a positive message.
This is one of my favorite shows. Dog and his family of bounty hunters hunt down criminals who have failed to appear in court after taking out a bond in their place of business as well as for people who have bonds revoked. This family is very close knit and it is quite obvious they care quite a bit about each other. Big family moments like marriages and babies being born are a part of the show just as much as hunting down the fugitives. Every time the crew catches a criminal, Dog and the family try to help them out, giving them advice and telling them how they, once in trouble as well, overcame their law breaking ways and are now doing well in life. Quite a bit of cigarette smoking, especially in the first few seasons. Swearing in every episode, though the worst are bleeped out. Beth, Dog's wife has been very blessed with breasts, and has no problem showing them off. When criminals are apprehended, the crew uses quite a bit of force, throwing them to the ground and such. In one episode, Dog's son Leland punches a family member of a criminal in the face after a dispute of knowing where the criminal was or not. Most of the criminals hunted have a history of drug abuse. Though no drug use is shown, you'll see drugs as well as pipes being pulled out of the pockets of these criminals once arrested. Great for families with kids 12 and up.
