After finally watching Dog the Bounty Hunter, I am happy to say that I am now officially hooked! The latest DVD, Dog the Bounty Hunter: Crime is On the Run was sent to me early July. It sat in my pile of DVDs for quite some time but after viewing, I immediately put the best of the show’s previous seasons in my Netflix queue. The show has been on since 2004, so I have a lot of catching up to do!
Release Date: July 27, 2010
Running Time: 176 minutes
This Dog doesn’t just hunt – he’s the toughest law enforcer on television with thousands of captures already under his belt, tracking down bail jumpers, escaped criminals and vagabond outlaws with passion, determination and a whole lot of bone-bruising action.
DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER CRIME IS ON THE RUN includes eight top-rated episodes, previously unreleased on DVD, from the 2009-2010 season – a season that saw Dog back in Denver and Colorado, hunting down fugitives with his trademark grit and determination. Alongside his wife Beth and their fearless posse, Dog rebounds from a tumultuous year to reflect on the past, reunite with some long-lost relatives.
Who knew that watching a family of bounty hunters, tracking down fugitives from the court could be so interesting? I’ve watched family reality shows and I’ve watched COPS before but seeing the two merge in a sense is actually quite a fun way to spend my Saturday…which is exactly what I did when I put in this DVD. I think I had a preconception of the show that it would be thrilling but there would be too much drama. There really is no room for anything to be staged or any unnecessary drama.
This is a genuine reality show with a family who is genuinely close and passionate about their line of work and that is what sucked me in. The family being Christian is also quite nice, as I am a nondenominational Christian myself. I do have to admit, it is quite odd and funny to hear the family curse up a storm and then pray. Regardless, everyone in the family really is inspiring in more ways than one. They inspire people to be driven in the work force and encourage people to not give up in life in general, to live positive lives.
Heck, Dog himself is inspiring as he was once in the shoes of those in court for their wrongdoings. He turned his life around and is attempting to help others do the same. That’s it in a nutshell but their inspiration knows no bounds. I will admit that I cried a few times…this show is not just action, it hits your emotional buttons! But anyway, the family has a house in Colorado and the majority of the episodes on this DVD are set there. Though I especially loved the episodes set in Hawaii, their other hometown. All in all, I was quite satisfied with the use of my time after viewing this DVD and do encourage everyone to watch this show on A&E.
There are no Bonus Features on this DVD and that’s a shame because I would love to see some deleted scenes! I wonder if the show’s previous seasons have bonus features on their DVDs. Hmm…
