Hawai'i's most famous bounty hunter returns to the tube tomorrow night on A&E.

Season 5 of "Dog the Bounty Hunter," featuring Duane "The Dog" Chapman and his posse capturing fugitives in Hawai'i and Colorado, debuts on July 16.

Tomorrow, at 6 p.m., reruns from past seasons will be shown and repeated at 9 p.m.

The hit series was suspended Nov. 2 after Chapman used the n-word when referring to his son Tucker's African-American girlfriend. The private call had been recorded and Chapman apologized afterward.

"You know the saying, 'Sticks and stones can break your bones and names will always hurt you?' I've learned that," Chapman said in May at a media availability announcing the resumption of the series.

"The Bible says the tongue is the most powerful member of the body," Chapman said. "That's absolutely true. I've learned to watch my mouth and watch the names I use, whether they be racial or whatever. You can hurt people's feelings just with your mouth."

A&E will also air never-before-seen episodes from the fourth season.

The series has been one of the highest-rated reality shows on TV since it was launched in 2004. Season 5 will mark the 100th episode of the show.

Despite the suspension, Chapman's popularity remains high. While in Las Vegas recently, Dog and his wife were invited backstage to meet Elton John, a fan of the show, in his dressing room. They also dined with Mike Tyson and took in Carrot Top's comedy show.

On Friday, the Chapmans will be celebrity chefs at the Flavors of Honolulu in the "What's Cooking" Pavilion.They are scheduled to cook off against Honolulu City prosecutor Peter Carlisle, with all proceeds donated to the nonprofit Abilities Unlimited.

Cost to attend is $5.
