What do you think? Do you like the Bunheads TV series? Do you think that it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
We absolutely love this show!!! Our daughters were heavily into dance from the time they were 2 until the end of high school. It reminds us of a all the drama with the girls and parents. We love all of the adult characters. They are all so quirky. The interaction between Michelle and Fanny is wonderful. Michelles character is so endearing. Watching her try to adapt to this strange funny environment is great. Please tell them not to cancel this show. It has so much potential. We would like to see a little more dancing but the show really stands… Read more »
i will be devastated if this show is canceled.. it has so much potential and is already getting better with each episode.
I watch A LOT of shows but I have to say that I like the drama in Bunheads. I try every new show for at least three episodes unless it is really horrible before I make a decision and I was hooked to this show after the second episode. In my opinion, ABC/ABC Fam has done a great job of programming for my taste! This would include “The Secret Life of the American Teenager”, “Switched at Birth”, “Baby Daddy”, “Beverly Hills Nannies” (LOVE THIS!), “Melissa & Joey”, “The Middle”, “Modern Family” and “Jane By Design”. I seem to favor the… Read more »
Take out Bunheads and Secret Life. And put in Make it or break it.
Last nights show was great and very entertaining! The Bunheads were in rare form and there was less bickering between Fanny and Michelle. The highlight of the show is when the Bunheads entered Michelle’s room without her knowledge and went throught her things, just like a little sister would do. That adorable little blonde Bunhead who jumped onto Michelle’s bed, made some funny comment, laid down in the bathtub asking who is Rod Stewart and if Michelle was on drugs, is so cute and adorable that we need to see and hear more from her as well as more dancing… Read more »
I absolutely LOVE this show! I was hooked from episode #1! It seems like every time I get hooked on a show, it gets canceled…in fact I was doing a search to see how this was doing in the ratings when I found this site! I’ll put in a good word for Bunheads where ever & whenever I can to help keep it on the air!
Best show on TV but they need to concentrate more on the Bunheads dancing!!
Best new show so far, fun and witty. Please do not cancell.
I didn’t like it… It should be cancelled
Agreed.
I watched all of the episodes on on demand. I’m absolutely in love with this show! Amy has done it again! I loved Gilmore Girls and am starting to feel the same about Bunheads. I really hope it doesn’t get cancelled. Please give it a chance!
AMY SHERMAN PALLADINO HAS DONE IT AGAIN! great writing! great casting! beautiful dancing! I hope this show gets the chance it deserves and stays on air as long as Gilmore Girls did! I wasnt going to watch it when i first saw the commercials then realizing it was another Palladino project, and there was nothing else on i gave it a chance! and was hooked!!!! amazing!!!
LOVE THIS SHOW! HOPE IT DOESNT GET CANCELLED!
Tonight’s episode is Great, do not miss it, but if you do, watch it on Hulu.
All the Bunheads are right in and the writing is superb!!
Watched all the episodes back to back on Hulu! So great!!! All Star acting and as always ALL STAR WRITING!!! MORE !!!! MORE !!!!!! MORE!!!!!!
I am a Jock and I too love this show! The writing is extremely clever and witty and the Bunheads are adorable. Sutton and Kelly are definately one of TV’s best Treasures and we should all be thankful to have them on the show. I hope they add more dancing scenes and more interaction with the Bunheads.
Keep up the great work you Bunheads!
I had hopes for this show when I first saw the previews. The premise was interesting, initially. Killing off Hubble the first episode was not a good idea, and the way in which it was done was bizarre, no body, no real grief for him. The timeline on the second episode was very confusing, and the characters all seem to be two-dimensional. Michelle has a comic banter that gets irritating after the first twenty times. Unfortunately, I cannot see why this show should be renewed. It is trite, implausible and so superficial, it hurts to watch it. I love ballet,… Read more »
