Allright...I’ve watched about 3 episodes of this thing and it’s freakin’ bizarre. The idea isn’t too far-fetched-- the guy’s a freelance bounty hunterand goes on little “missions”. It’s bizarre because of the characters. They’re like trailer trash, amplified. Dog has a supreme mullet and wears fanny packs and sweatpants. So does his “crew”..who’re all related to him in some way. They go about their business in Suburbans and use the word “brah” too much. Last night, Dog’s wife, a hosebag blonde with cow tits, promised to give Dog a “special reward” if they caught the bounty.
They ham it up a bit for the camera, and some of those moments are painful. In one episode, Dog tries to make a funny before his crew heads out by saying “gentlemen, start your engines!”.
Dog’s from Denver’s Commerce City, so there’s a bit of a local connection for me. A few episodes have featured Dog in Denver, where he’s visited the “bail bond row” across from the main police station (which I used to walk through on my way to lunch, everyday, for about 6 years).
The biggest problem is the “action”. The guys they track down aren’t ferocious. They’re mostly deadbeat dweebs who have forgotten to check in with their bail bondsment. Dog calls ‘em up and they agree to come in. Sometimes, Dog will stakeout their house, and it seems like a conflict is emminent. Dog’s crew takes their positions outside the house, as if they’re emulating their PS2 version of SOCOM: Navy Seals. But nope, someone answers the doors and informs Dog that the guy’s already back in jail. So Dog and his crew decide to go fishing.....
Last night featured an actual manhunt for a deadbeat slacker in Colorado Springs.The guy had elluded police and disappeared into a field. The cops showed up with their canine unit and eventually called the search off. Dog returned and actually tracked the guy down. When they found him, he was a weaselly 110 pound guy hiding under a bush. The guy said “whoa, I watch you all the time” and was thrilled to be captured by Dog. Dog and his flunkies strutted around like they had just caught Jaws. The show proclaims Dog is chasing “criminals”...but they’re just losers. Dog ranks just below Dengar on the list of Worthless Bounty Hunters.
