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?
Love this show!!! Wonderful dialogue. Very witty and fun. Such a wonderful change from the stultifying shows that are being offered in other channels. Please, please, please renew it!!!
I view all 10 episodes as the pilot taht is setting up many seasons.
I love Bunheads. It is my favorite show.
It’s no Gilmore Girls that’s for sure! I mean at first it was kinda dull but it has picked up a lot and now I’m actually enjoing it. I say keep it!
While I won’t mention my age, I will admit to being significantly older than anyone on the show, with the exception of Fanny. And I love this show. The dialogue is snappy and witty and actually employs vocabulary beyond that of a first grader. Time will only I improve Bunheads. This show should absolutely be renewed. Let’s strive for excellence on television…
I never saw Gilmore Girls, but I absolutely love Bunheads. Writing is great. Delivery/acting is sharp, clever and funny. PLEASE RENEW
Please renew this show. It is wholesome and witty and just gets better each week.
Great show. Hope it returns for a second season
Love, love, love Bunheads!!!!!
I love Bunheads! I think that this show is amazing for not just dancers but everyone. I’m a 13 year old and I think this show is very relatable to me. I mean I’m not a teen popstar, I can’t relate to that! I like being able to relate to characters as I think many people do and I think Boo is very relateable. I want to be ballerina when grow up and I see Boo doing the same thing and I go. “Cool! Boo is like me” I think that’s what brings me back. I really hope they don’t… Read more »
Love the show. I sure hope it stays on.
We agree with Michael that last night’s episode was the best and most compelling, confirming that a dance show with humor/drama can be addicting and that Bunheads is the best new show on ABC Family!!! The Bunhead girls were cute and the action between Sasha and her elders is getting deep. The new love of Boo is talented. The youngest ballerina who hangs with all the Bunheads is definitely one to watch for, as her little quick witted comments are unpredictable. Fanny’s boyfriend is great and we would love to see more of him and them as they made us… Read more »
This should be renewed!!! My daughter just started dance last year and we LOVE it!!! We always watched Gilmore Girls together, and Amy Sherman Palldino had DONE IT AGAIN!!!!! I have missed the Gilmore Girls and Stars Hollow, and Michelle and Fanny, and Paradise have filled the void that I have been missing for FIVE years!!!! I agree with most, last night was the funniest episode yet…but that has been the show thus far….it has gotten better and funnier every episode. My favorite part was when Michelle got into the fight with the curtain rod!!! And I like that she… Read more »
Last nights episode was the most compelling of them all and is the best show on ABC Family!! I loved the banter between Fanny and Sasha and Sasha and Michelle. Very current day. Boos new potential love interest is great. The youngest ballerina who makes several wise cracks about her grocery flowers, her Loving Show Season, It’s a rough business, etc is so cute and would like to see her mature and grow with the show.
AttentionWriters, please add more dancing and more songs as this show has the most potential to be the greatest dancing show since Fame….
Last nights episode was the best one yet. We really enjoyed the interaction between Boo and her new dance partner as well as the interaction between Fanny and her love interest.
We would like to see more dancing from the Bunheads as that is why we tune in. The smallest blonde Bunhead is so funny and cute that we should also see more of her.
I like the transformation that Sasha is in and they should add to her struggles.
Keep up the witty writing but please add more dancing!!
