Below The Fold

I decided Dog the Bounty Hunter may well be the coolest show on TV. Certainly, it’s by far the coolest “reality” show on TV.
For the uninitiated: Dog is a cross between Lorenzo Lamas’ character in Renegade, Lee Majors’ character in the Fall Guy and Brian Bosworth’s character in Stone Cold. He has the baddest mullet since Joe Huff, and makes a living tracking down criminals who jumped bond. He doesn’t carry a gun.
“The guy’s going down in a hail of mace,” was a comment he made on a recent episode. The show airs on Tuesday nights on A&E.
It’s a family affair, has Dog chases his prey down with the able backing of his entire family—most notably his extremely well-endowed, bottle-blonde wife.
My favorite part of the show comes after he nabs a jumper—Dog doesn’t just turn the guy over to the police. No, he then lectures the perp on the evils of crime and how it’s not to late to turn from the path of darkness he’s walking on. Dog’s a religious man who prays to Jesus right before he kneels on someone’s back and handcuffs them.
Dog is the shit. He’s a modern day superhero. He’s the new Batman.
