Dog the Bounty Hunter - The Best of Season 1

GO ON THE PROWL WITH THIS REAL-LIFE BILLY THE KID. It’s not that Dog--the self-professed best bounty hunter in the world--dislikes criminals; it’s just that he’s hell-bent on making America a safer place. Clad in his trademark sleeveless wear with a can of mace holstered like a .45 Magnum at his side, this ex-con turned born-again Christian is every fugitive’s worst nightmare (with 6,000 captures and counting!). From Honolulu to Colorado, no door is strong enough to stop Dog and his fearsome posse. With bone-jarring action and theme music by Ozzy Osbourne DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER: THE BEST OF SEASON ONE features Dog’s hand-picked favorite episodes from the debut season of this sensational A&E real-life adventure series.

DVD Features: "Catch ‘Em If You Can" Episode From A&E’s "Take This Job" Series starring Duane "Dog" Chapman; On-Air Promos for DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER; Cast Biographies; Interactive Menus; Scene Selection Reality TV series Dog the Bounty Hunter is far more entertaining than it has any right to be. Consider: The central figure is a middle-aged, former biker and Texas felon with a ridiculous '80s rock star haircut and an Oahu-based business ("Da Kine Bail Bonds") collaring drug-addled fugitives. Yet Dwayne "Dog" Chapman's criminal-snagging exploits all over Honolulu, aided by his scary-looking brother, son, Nephew, and invaluable, fiercely independent wife, Beth, are captivating in a surreal, larger-than-life fashion. The Best of Season One includes several highly watchable episodes, watching Chapman's team do its dangerous work, a startling blend of machismo and almost prayerful compassion for the losers being dragged back to justice. But this is also a show about family; about the Chapmans' beautiful house and kids, about making time for a birthday party after hauling in a dangerous creep. Weird, silly, suspenseful, and fun. --Tom Keogh
