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 Bunheads! Funny, sweet and smart. Though I was never a dancer, I love the dance bits, though there’s not so much that it overshadows the rest of the show. The characters are quirky, diverse and marvelous. This needs to be renewed for many more seasons! ABC Family seems to push SAB & PLL, 2 shows that are very cheesy and one note, whereas Bunheads advertising seems like an afterthought. Bunheads is miles better and more fun. ABCF let the world know, Bunheads is wonderful!
Love thus show all caught up from demand. My husband and I love this show. Reminds us of Gilmore girls. Awesome fun show. Please another season
I’m a guy and I love Bunheads and hope it runs for 5 years. That said, it probably won’t. ABC Family seems to have no love for it. Promotion is minimul at best.
It’s a wonderful family show. Question how are the ratings measured? Is it based on just who watches the show the night it airs? Do they also count those of us that watch via ON DEMAND?
One of the best new shows to come out of 2012, please do the smart thing ABC Family and keep the show coming! The characters are great and I love how Amy Sherman Palladino creates characters that are so believable. I can especially relate to Boo and Michelle! Keep up the “Bunhead” madness for the sake of good TV!
I’M 63 AND YES I LOVE THE SHOW! I WAS
BUNHEAD TOO WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER.
IT IS JUST LIKE THE SHOW. WOULD LIKE MORE
DANCING. KEEP IT COMING. THERE ARE GIRLS
AND BOYS OUT THERE WHO MIGHT LIKE TO FIND.
OUT WHAT DANCING SCHOOL IS ALL ABOUT.
EVEN IF THEY ONLY DANCE WHEN THEY ARE YOUNG
IT GIVES THEM GRACE AND GOOD POSTURE THAT WILL HELP THEM LATER IN LIFE.I ABSOLUTLY LOVE BOO!
Stupid. Stupid show.
I want to see more…it can’t end w/Michelle leaving like that….bring back Bunheads.
to be cancelled,
It started well. Loved it but after 4,5 episodes I got tiered to listen to her unpleasent rpid monologues of Sutton Foster
But its still Rlly good I love it , so I would defiantly want it to renew for a second season with or without more drama :p
I rly like the show and the actors, and this show can be come something great but it needs more drama something big in the second season 2 get ppl to want to see. Maybe a big car crash on the way to a party or something ? .ps that would be an interesting season 2. It could mess with fanny a bit bring back bad memories of Hubble… I think would be a good episode and way more dramatic
I hope that the show is renewed…as it is the only show that I enjoy
Love this show, many similarities to Gilmore Girls (including cast), which makes it that much sweeter
Amy has done it again! Bunheads is one of the best shows on tv today! I grew up with dance in my family and overall it brings back so many memories! I love how she has taken so many actors from Gilmore Girls and have incorporated them into this show. I would have to say Boo is my favorite. She’s sweet, innocent, and the odd ball of the group which I love! I do agree though please add some more dance numbers along the way because the ballerinas are so good!
Last nights finale was Superb, it was th best of all the shows and my 3 daughters and myself are so thrilled that ABC Family picked up the show for another season! We loved the interaction between Fanny and her love interest, Michelle’s dream where she and Huble were speaking, Sasha and the Ringer, Boo coming out to defend her attraction for her new beau, little Matisse being adorable, Michelle singing and dancing not to mention the compelling mace incident at the end which leaves the finale as good as they get!! Keep up the writing, choreography and directing as… Read more »
