After a very successful fifth season debut, Dog the Bounty Hunter is certainly back.  On tonight's episode, Dog the Bounty Hunter viewers get to meet Christopher, a 20-year-old victim of domestic abuse and assault.  As always, it is not a walk in the park for Dog and his family as the leads are scarce.

“Let It Snow” airs tonight at 9:30pm on A&E.

The bounty hunter is back on the hunt.  Tonight marks the premiere of the fifth season of Dog the Bounty Hunter, the reality show which features the adventures of bail bondsman and bounty hunter Duane “Dog” Chapman, his family and his associates.

This marks the return of the series on A&E after the network pulled the plug on the show last November.  This was after an audio recording of Chapman using racial slurs was released to the public.  His controversial comments, aimed at his son Tucker's African-American girlfriend, became the center of calls from civil rights leaders for A&E to cancel his show.  Despite a statement from Chapman, who apologized for his “regrettable use of very inappropriate language,” the network suspended production of the series for an indefinite period of time.

It's no secret that Dog the Bounty Hunter is coming back on the air, thanks to fans' campaigning efforts to save the show and Dog Chapman's various efforts to reach out to the black community.  Congratulating the star of the show and his supporters for the resumption of the series is Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, founder and president of BOND, the Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny, a group dedicated to promoting responsible fatherhood amongst African-Americans.

In recent issued statement, Peterson, who made headlines after his call for support for Chapman following his controversial racial slur, extends his delight to Chapman and his family, and talks about how fans positively responded in Chapman's time of need.

As reported previously, Dog the Bounty Hunter is expected to go back to production after being on hold since November last year. Now, more confirmation comes from Dog Chapman's son Duane Chapman, wife Beth Chapman, and more importantly, A&E.

"The rumors are true," Duane Chapman, son of Dog the Bounty Hunter star, said.  "He [Dog] is very excited.  Thank goodness for A&E.  Thank goodness for a second chance.  And thank goodness for the fans who have written to A&E over the last few months."

The Chapmans are the subject of yet another controversy.  Tucker Chapman, the son of Dog the Bounty Hunter's Duane "Dog" Chapman, has been arrested for violating multiple terms of his parole.  He has reportedly been taken to the Oahu Correction Facility last Friday.

According to TMZ, Tucker's parole officer conducted a surprise home inspection last week, and didn't like what he found.  The officer then brought Tucker in on Friday, revoked his parole and sent him to prison.  His alleged violations include associating with known felons, failing a drug test and walking away from a rehab facility.
