A&E Brings Back Dog Days This Summer

Duane "Dog" Chapman — the most famous bounty hunter we know — will be back this summer on A&E with fresh episodes, says the AP.

As you may recall, Chapman's show, Dog the Bounty Hunter, was abruptly pulled from the 'net last fall following the leak of a taped phone conversation in which Chapman referred to his son's girlfriend, who is African-American, with a racial epithet. An A&E spokesman said the network felt Dog deserved a second chance, and had done work to redeem himself since the incident.

Reruns of the series will kick off June 25, and new episodes will begin airing soon after. Bail-jumpers across Hawaii might be quaking in their law-evading flip-flops, but what about you? Is this too soft a stance? Even more pressing: How should networks deal when talent have questionable opinions and judgment? — Anna Dimond

The man's been punished enough - he didn't incite murder like some people have done ( *cough* Sharpton *cough* ) so let it go . And always remember that a wise man once said ' Anyone who says they've never said the N word is either a liar or never lost 10 grand on an NBA game . '

Isn't this the US? People say things they regret everyday. I don't believe the good Dog does should be completely overshadowed and erased because his "son" (or whoever leaked the tape) was a jealous, greedy SOB!
