The New York Times Neil Genzlinger
At the office, the series tries to work up some soap opera lather, particularly over the ex-wife of Ricky, Billy’s brother, who has come back into Ricky’s life, to the dismay of practically everyone else. But this is just filler; the good stuff comes when Billy goes on the road to confront Mother Nature.

You gotta root for Billy, head of his family pest-control business, who's either lovingly relocating raccoons to safety or donning head-to-toe leather and a scary skull mask to get rid of a bee infestation.

Of this group, the only one who is even mildly interesting is Billy, who appears to have been gifted an unfair quantity of the family's functioning neurons. But he's not nearly enough to keep us from wishing his show back to the swamp, or wherever it is from which these dippy derivatives spring.

The truth is that both these shows ["Dog the Bounty Hunter"], like the Springer show, give viewers a cheap stroke by encouraging them to laugh at the low-rent dramas and people on the screen. It's TV whose only real purpose is killing time.
