TV bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman is coming back to the airwaves.

The Chapman family confirms that filming is set to resume on the A&E show "Dog the Bounty Hunter." The Hawaii-based series features Chapman and crew in pursuit of bail jumpers.

It was A&E's highest rated show until the cable network yanked it in November after a taped phone conversation surfaced in which Chapman used a racial slur in reference to his son's black girlfriend. He has apologized and has tried to make amends with the network and the black community.

A&E officials say since the show is about second chances, they've decided to accept his apology and resume production. No air date has been announced.

OMG!!!!!!! Are you kidding me? A & E IS FULL OF IT! They say since the show is about 2nd chances they want to give Dog a second chance? WHATEVER!!! I think that is a crock of B!! Yeah- they got the numbers in since cancelling the hsow back in November and see that its hurt the network financially! I say KUDOS TO DOG- take your show and your awesome family/team to another network and make them and yourselves the money that is deserved! Not some hypocrytical network like A & E that is just playing the viewers. When the news broke and people were putraged- they pull the show- let it rest and time go by where its not on every news station and news paper.... and look- they are putting back on their air. They are all about the money they realize they have been losing money and ratings since the show was off in November. GO DOG!!!
