The Show’s formerly Big Ratings for A&E Network didn’t Hurt, Either

Dog the Bounty Hunter fans can now start their celebrations.
It’s now official: Dog the Bounty Hunter is coming back to the A & E TV line-up.
An A&E spokesman confirmed yesterday the resumption of the show’s production immediately, though no date yet has been set for the show’s new premiere.
KHNL TV in Honolulu stated that Beth Chapman confirmed to KHNL Tuesday morning that the show would resume production immediately.
Persistence and a showing of public remorse, along with a charity outreach to black groups, made a difference.
So did the actions of thousands of “Dog the Bounty Hunter” fans.
And the show’s formerly big ratings on A&E Network didn’t hurt, either.

The public acts of remorse and contrition are over and a new journey that starts for the star of any TV show looms: to lure back enough former viewers to keep the show at the top of A&E’s ratings line-up.
The announcement marked the latest step on a 3+ month journey of redemption and contrition for Duane “Dog” Chapman. Since the furor broke with the National Enquirer’s publishing of the audio tapes of Chapman’s heated exchange with son, Tucker, over his girlfriend during a private cell-phone conversation.
What is the buzz on the web the last 24 hours? Some background since November 1, 2007.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a Trackbackto whom it may concern: i am a 54 yr old female, that is so excited to know that my DOG, THE BOUNTY HUNTER IS COMING BACK!!!!! i am thrilled and can not wait. i have not watched anything on A & E while he was off the air “in protest” of them taking him off. maybe it did Dog & family a lot of good to do whatever they had to do to make things right but i’ve never thought for one minute that he or any memeber of his family were racist of any kind. they help the Hawaiian people so much there, that when i was on a trip to Hawaii, back in 2006, i learned that the Hawiian’s really, really loved him or really, really hated him. but most of all, they protected him when the chance arose. so, God Bless A & E, for being smart enough to realize, “U NEED THE DOG, TO!!!!” now we can look forward to t.v. being exciting again. it has definetly been a suck/snooze fest without Dog, & family!!!!!! “U CAN RUN, BUT U CANNOT HIDE FROM THE LONG ARM OF THE DOG!!!!!!!!”
THANK U!!!
I’m so glad that Dog will be back on tv again.
I have not watched or seen anything on aetv. I
it protesting for taking my favorite show off the air. That was so wrong. Everyone could of
gotten together and meet about the problems that was taking place. I’m a big fan of Leland’s and I want to tell everyone that I love him with all my heart. To say that I love him, I cut my hair like his, and I made a dog tag chain with his picture on it. I wear it everywhere that I go.
When someone says to me, Is that your brother?
I say that I wished he was my brother. I say he is Dog The Bounty Hunters son. I tell them anything that they want to know.
So I’m happy now that Dog will be back on tv again. With all my love to the Dog crew and to you Leland, I love you 110% and more. I guess when you love someone, you really just have to show it.
I love “Dog the Bounty Hunter” and Duane Chapman. Beth is a lucky woman. Watch out criminals at least there is one “Superman in the world” besides Jesus.
