Pure TV Gold Vol I

Last night, I watched a half hour show on Channel 9 called Dog the Bounty Hunter.
This show is awesome.
It basically centres around Duane "Dog" Chapman, a bounty hunter who lives in Hawaii and goes about catching people who have missed court dates or have outstanding warrants issued against them.
He catches them, cuffs them then takes them into the cops and picks up the reward for their arrest.
Him and his 'team' of bounty hunters, that is.

Oh, did I mention it was a reality TV show?

I don't know what the legalities of it all are - they wear some kind of badge, but they're not cops.
They also have guns and handcuff people, as well as sometimes just walking into a house and grabbing their 'target'.

But apparently it's all okay, because they made a TV show about it.

Oh, and the best part about it? Once they've captured said criminal, they spend a little while with them, trying to make them see the error of their ways.

Of course, Dog himself is an ex-con - but he's since rehabilitated and now spends his life trying to do the same for others.

Check it out - if only for the massive lion's mane of a mullet this guy sports.
Channel 9, Tuesdays, 8pm.
