Chapman and her husband, Duane Chapman, known as Dog, rose to prominence with the 2004 premiere of “Dog the Bounty Hunter,” which followed the couple’s unusual family business: tracking down and detaining people in Hawaii and Colorado who had violated the terms of their release from custody.
“Even though the outlook is grim, I just don’t want to live it like that, you know?” she told The Star-Advertiser in a video interview. The show quickly turned the Chapman family into symbols of the network and a prototype of sorts for reality shows about rough-around-the-edges family businesses, like “Duck Dynasty.” That show premiered on A&E in 2012, the same year the network cancelled “Dog the Bounty Hunter.”But the show’s cancellation did not end the Chapman family’s career as reality stars. “Dog and Beth: On the Hunt,” a spinoff of the A&E show, had three seasons on CMT.
