One channel here has a marathon of “The Dog: The Bounty Hunter”, where The Dog and his crew goes after bail-jumpers and stuff.
Poor guy looks like he spent waaaaay too much time out in the sun. In fact, a lot of this stuff looks just way too Hollywood. He’s got the puffy shirt unbuttoned to the waist, feather earrings, 10lbs of gold chains, sunglasses he rarely takes off, even at night, huge mane of curly blonde hair, etc. He could be a good wrestler. ![:laughing: :laughing:](https://budgetlightforum.com/images/emoji/google/laughing.png?v=12)
There’s one normal-looking guy who’s… “practical”. Normal haircut, just slaps on the tac-vest, looks all business with no pretense. He’s the most normal of the bunch, who looks like an actual bounty hunter.
Different guy has a weird haircut, long hair on top but a skinny braided ponytail pulled in back, but shaved sides. Other than that, seems pretty normal.
Kinda cute bucktoothy chick I think is The Dog’s daughter who goes along for the ride, talks with women bail-jumpers they catch, probably provides the “softer” side of the crew.
Then there’s a shorter woman who’e like a 97ZZZ, and I think is The Dog’s wife, who drives one of the SUVs, does clerical stuff in their office, etc. Not quite sure what sense it makes to slap on the bulletproof vest and mace and other stuff when going with The Crew, but does so in high-heels and has those long talon-like nails. Ummm, okay.
Anyway, they go chasing these people around, staking out their hangouts, etc., enlisting the locals to help out, that kind of thing. And of course, at the end when they get their quarry, there’s the “Hey, you’re a smart guy, you could do so much better than smoking the crack and breaking into peoples’ houses, y’know?” and going on about getting help, etc. Feelgood stuff.
No shootouts or nuttin’ like that, more like playing cat’n’mouse and just catching the guy who just stands there, and doesn’t go running off or fighting back like you’d see on “Cops” or those kinds of shows. More like, “Yeah, you caught me, I give up.”, anticlimactic.
I thought the show would be about The Dog chasing down people, running after them, tackling them, slapping on the cuffs, etc., but it’s more like The Process, like I said, the cat’n’mouse thing, bugging neighbors about if they’ve seen so-and-so, where does so-and-so hang out, that kind of thing, then finally catching up and walking off together into the sunset… and central booking. Kinda sedate.
Interesting time-waster, though, if there’s nothing else on.
