There won’t be a ninth season for Dog the Bounty Hunter. The A&E TV series has been cancelled by the cable channel.
The reality show follows Duane “Dog” Chapman and his family as they work as fugitive-recovery agents across the country. Dog’s team includes his wife Beth, their grown sons (Duane Lee Chapman, II and Leland Chapman), daughter “Baby” Lyssa, and Dog’s unrelated “brother,” Tim “Youngblood” Chapman. The show was inspired by Chapman’s appearance on Take This Job, a series about people with unusual occupations.
Debuting in 2004, Dog the Bounty Hunter became a valuable property for A&E and versions of the show have been seen in various international markets.
Over the course of the eight seasons, the show has had plenty of backstage drama. In 2011, Duane Lee and Leland quit and severed ties with the family.
In September 2011, Bobby Brown, who’d appeared in 30 episodes of the show, sued because he said that he’d been promised that he’d become a full castmember but it didn’t happen.
The final episodes of Dog the Bounty Hunter will start airing on Saturday, June 2nd, with a pair of installments, “Luck be a Lady” parts one and two.
What do you think? Are you sorry to hear that Dog the Bounty Hunter has been cancelled? Was it time for the show to end?

I am hoping another network picks up the show. I think A&E made a huge mistake by getting rid of Dog the Bouny Hunter
I can’t believe they canceled dog…what a shame its my favorite show ,been watching since they first started. I don’t believe ratings were down !
I think everyone should email A&E and protest the cancellation of the show. The Chapmans have been a huge part of our lives since 2004 and many of us have seen every show. We need to ban together and keep the show going , so everyone email A&E and tell them they can not cancel the show!
I’m so glad that trailer park family is going off the air I’m planning a party. The lasted one season to long. Good riddens. This is a good day.
you are the trash he would probably go after
They weren’t and aren’t trash. I hope your party plans go to the trash because it’s a sad day when they go off the air.
Love the show can’t believe its being cancelled. I hope something can be done to save it. Why do they always screw up a good thing????
I love Dog the bounty Hunter. What will I watch now. You guys not only took awat Criss Angel, now you taking the dog. you guys are stupid. I will never see anything on a&e again. Dog and Criss Angel change my life and the way I believe in magic. I love you you Chapman Family and Criss Angel. God Bless you and everything you do. see you guys soon.
Dog the bounty Hunter is the last show I thought would be cancelled. Why? Low ratings which I doubt or politics?
We in Canada love the show and please renew the contact.
I love the show. I’ve been watching thru the seasons, and I’m really hoping some other network will pick them up!
No I don’t think Dog the Bounty Hunter should be canceled, I’m very upset I love that family they make my day please don’t cancel the show. They help me so much if I have a problem I listen to them and they help me figure out what I can do about it. It’s the best show to help familys that are having issues and all do I understand they are too but that’s family and things do work outin the end with Gods help and pray every day for guideness. So please don’t cancel the show I’m going to… Read more »
