Sullied TV Bounty Hunter To Get Second Chance on A&E?
Cats may not be the only animals with 9 lives. It appears dogs get second chances too. At least that is what TMZ is reporting about sullied TV bounty hunter Duane “Dog” Chapman.
An A&E network official confirmed to TMZ that his hugely popular reality show will be going back into production as soon as possible in Hawaii. TMZ reports that supporting people like makeup artists and camera crews have been hired in preparation for the show.
Production of Dog The Bounty Hunter was suspended indefinitely last November after the National Enquirer got a hold of two audiotapes that featured Chapman on a racially-offensive tirade. On the tapes, the 55-year old Chapman is heard using the “N word” several times and demanding that his son break-up with his African American girlfriend or be fired from family bail bond business. A&E’s original decision to suspend production of the show came, in part, because of growing pressure from sponsors. No word if that part of the story has been resolved.

Over the past few months, the born-again Christian and convicted murderer has tried to make amends for his toxic words by working with the African American community to promote racial equality. TMZ says network officials have been pleased with his efforts.
There is no word yet when A&E plans to begin airing new episodes of Dog the Bounty Hunter.

I think he’s paid for what he said. Let bygones be bygones. He seems genuinely sorry for his words.
His show is a hoot to watch and it’ll be good to see it on again.
I’m sure A&E;missed the good ratings he brought with him too.

Hey Don’t watch,.......what ever happened to forgiveness?
Hillery forgave Bill,.......Cheating Jessi Jackson was forgiven,.......Dog has worked diligently to make up for his comments and Sharpton forgave him finally,.......nobody thinks it’s OK to use the “n” word. Not A&E;, not even Dog anymore,.....

Hello..
Ok, I use to watch Duane ‘The Dog’ Chapman on a regularI thought he was a pretty cool dude up until he said what he said. I almost fell out the chair when I heard it. To be honest it really bothered me and still do to this day. Never would I have thought those words would’ve come out his mouth. But they did and b/c of this I will not suppost his show anymore.
Thanks
