Dog The Bounty Hunter has been canceled, brah

That no doubt helped the series survive its many controversies over the years—not least of them being pulled for several months after a tape surfaced of Chapman repeatedly slinging racial epithets about his son's girlfriend, for which he apologized, as well as Chapman's arrest by federal marshals for illegally bounty hunting in Mexico. And under the circumstances, it's a little strange that A&E has offered no official explanation for why it has only now opted not to pick up further episodes—especially given that Dog enjoyed series-high ratings for its January premiere. Still, it's possible that A&E simply needs the space for more shows about people buying other people's garbage.
