Dog the Bounty Hunter is not fake, so don't hate on someone that really helps a lot of people out.
I really enjoyed this show when it came out. The fat lady cracked me up with her ballerina moo moos and her drawn on eyebrows plus that loud ass mouth. The last episode she didn't bother drawing them in tho, it looked creepy.
The biggest sign that it was scripted for me was when they reposessed the Prowler. I've seen drunk people slam beer bottles across their heads with every muscle in their body but all it does it bounce of and leave a nasty ass mark. But on this episode the guy who owns the Prowler barely taps the big Hispanic guy over the head and it brakes into dust practically just like the bottles they use in movies.
Plus as someone said they began to put a disclaimer which says they are reenactments or whatever. Still fun to watch tho, kinda.
