The Dog’s Most Wanted premiere featured Beth and Duane “Dog the Bounty Hunter” Chapman getting back into the action of bounty hunting, but a lot of fans were not able to get in on the action. The new series follows as the beloved couple worked to hunt down some of the most sought-after criminals in the country. Some fans of the series were not able to tune in for the premiere, despite months of anticipation, due to a common problem. Fans of the reality television family took to Twitter during the episode to complain they were not able to watch the episode because their cable provider did not include WGN America, the network housing the new chapter in the Chapman family’s story.
