Thanks to the racist comments made on tape by Dog (Duane Chapman), A&E has decided to cancel his show as they apparently no longer wish to be affiliated with him. This comes as a tiny bit of a shock, as the show is actually one of the highest rated shows on the A&E network.
A Spokesperson for A&E issued the following statement to Honolulu’s Star Bulletin:
“In evaluating the circumstances of the last few days, A&E has decided to take Dog The Bounty Hunter’ off the network’s schedule for the foreseeable future. We hope that Mr. Chapman continues the healing process that he has begun.”
It’s a shock how quick this all came about. The tape was released and in less than two or three days Dog went from Bounty Hunter fame to having his show canceled and being labeled a racist. On the brighter side of things, if he didn’t save any of his money, he’d fit right in at any trailer park in the South.

I just found this good link that examines the real issues and posts a link for the actual conversation.
It’s at http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/437107/ae_stops_production_of_dog_the_bounty.html and says that A&E Stops Production of Dog the Bounty Hunter TV Series - Are Racial Slurs in a Private Phone Conversation the Reason?
I just listened to the recorded conversation now and I am disgusted.
