how does dog the bounty hunter earn his money?

@jmo Said

I watched an episode of it once, it was hilarious. I watched another episode, it was alright but sort of seemed like the previous joke repeated. I watched another episode and the format seemed tired.

I didn't watch another episode.

@jmo Said

Mainly in a 'what an idiot' kind of way. I mean I'm sure he's good at what he does but there just seemed this overwrought and unneeded drama to it to try and make everything seem like it was part of an episode of 24 or something.

Okay that's what I thought. My hubby was talking about an episode where they're talking (inside the car) about 'going in covertly' and then they pull up out front in their two matching shiny black SUV's and get out all wearing black leather with a bunch of guns and visible handcuffs. Yeah. That's covert.

jmo ,you have no patience regarding your chat about football elsewhere ....you should have been around 30 years ago ..we had a yearly tournament called the home internationals .wales n.ireland ,scotland and england played against each other ......it was bloody amazing ....think they stopped it when scotland beat england and the scots destroyed the goal posts and bar after the match ..... i miss it very much and wish it would return .....oh by the way england always won the tournament

@offbeat Said

someone else ...you have 2 choices ...choice number one . a man who has seen maybe 2 episodes and confuses real life with an episode of 24 .or choice 2 .a man who has watched many episodes and has a real feel for what dog and leeland and youngblood and baby lisa and fat beth are trying to do ....well, who are you going to choose ?

@jmo Said

Yeah gutted that they got rid of that. Think it would be great, a proper regular international rivalry. Apparently the English FA don't want it though. Not sure why, bet it would be a money spinner.



It seemed like something where they tried to overhype everything.

@offbeat Said

yeah it was great ...we english knew that the other three countries hated us and wanted to rub our noses in the s***e ...but that's what made it so important really ....you would have loved the scotland vs england games ......we hardly meet anymore ,which is a bloody shame

@someone_else Said

Or I have a third choice. I tried to watch an episode and couldn't stand it. I can't even stand to listen to them talk.

Here, watch this and tell me if you'd watch this show. (actually, I've been wondering about this anyway)

@Dark_Tink Said

Bounty Hunters get a percentage of the bond. If I have the calculations right, they get 10%. So if the bond is 50K, they earn 5k.

@thequietman Said

Or if a reward is issued on a fugitive.

@Dark_Tink Said

Ah right. I forgot about that. Thanks.

@ninozara Said


I would totally watch that...But, I would watch it due to the fact it looks utterly terrible. So terrible it would be HILARIOUS! But this is why we buy bargain basement DVD's for like, ?2 - it's amusing.

@someone_else Said

Ahh yes, the very reason I watched the movie "My Name is Bruce Campbell"

Everything about that show looks awful to me. The production quality looks low and it seems really exaggerated. But...it's produced by people in the UK for people in the US. So it made me wonder, are people really like that or did they make them seem like that because that's what they think we think they're like.

I'll give you a kudos tomorrow if you understood that.
