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?
They should renew this show it’s not that bad I like this
series.
I’m 15 and this show is my absolute FAVORITE show in the entire world! Every Monday my sister and I watch it together. It’s become out little tradition. If it’s cancelled I’ll probably start crying. It’s so well written and funny which is really hard to find these days! Pease come back!
Please renew this show. My 80 year old mother loves it too. So well written, rare these days.
Bunheads needs to come back because they left the ending open and a lot of people are eager to see what would happen next. They also didn’t add any more about the mysterious man at the end of that mysterious road which is odd, because let’s face it… I was sure he and Michelle would make the cutest of couples because he was attractive. We also didn’t learn much about Melanie’s family except about her brother. If they add more characters and such and actually bring conclusions to some things, it should most DEFIANTLY come back. Bring it back.
I need bunheads in my life without I feel as if television is worthless please renew bunheads I need it like I need my dr.pepper!!!!!
P.s.
And that says a lot considering I’m a dr.pepper addict
I think ABC will renew this program. The show has further potential, very good ratings, excellent writing, exceptional direction and Julia Goldani Telles. Julia is obviously a beautiful actor and dancer, however what should not be over looked, is her intelligence. She gives young women an excellent role model both on screen and off. I believe we will see in the future for this program,the development of the male dancer characters and further development of current and future non-dancer male roles. This could broaden the viewer audience and enable further viewer demographics to be encompassed. This program has allowed a… Read more »
I am crazy about Bunheads, and no, I’m not a tween or a teen. I love the story line, which is a bit like a modern version of Facts of Life with dancing thrown in for good measure. The ballet theme is refreshing, and the trials and tribs of Michelle, her mother-in-law, the bunheads and all the others in this regular ensemble are interesting to watch, even for a ‘learned’ 50-something female like myself. I’ve enjoyed every episode and would miss it terribly if it’s not renewed. ABC, if you’re listening, please give this show more airtime, ok? It’s the… Read more »
AMEN TO THAT!!! BEST SHOW ON TV!!! WAITING FOR THE SECOND SEASON.
My husband and I watch together and though I may like it a touch more (okay, I LOVE IT!), he enjoys the sly and smart wit and laughs and enjoys right along with me. Must renew this wonderful show, Bunheads is easily one of the best shows on TV, right up there with Girls, Californication, Walking Dead and Breaking Bad.
I really hope they renew it! It’s like watching Gilmore Girls all over again!
I love this show … I am a teen and I love dancing and I love this show !!!!
Bunheads needs to be renewed
I LOVE THE SHOW, I SEE MANY SIMILARITIES WITH IT AND THE GILMORE GIRLS WHICH I REALLY LOVE… SEVERAL OF THE SAME ACTORS IN BOTH SHOWS…SURE HOPE THEY DON’T CANCEL IT…WE NEED MORE NICE SHOWS LIKE IT…I AM A 75 YR OLD GREAT GRANDMA AND MY ALMOST 77 YEAR OLD HUSBAND WATCH IT TOO
We need more nice TV like this!
I loooove this show! I was pretty skeptical when my wife first asked me to watch it with her, but I grew to love it. It’s such a fun show!
I’m in the target demographic and Bunheads is the best thing ABCFamily has right now. PLL was good, but frankly, I’m getting tired of the repetitiveness of it. If Bunheads is canceled, I’ll probably just give up on the network.
