TV show description:
Tired of her life as a chorus girl in Las Vegas, Michelle Simms (Sutton Foster) reluctantly agrees to marry Hubbell Flowers (Alan Ruck) on a whim. He loves her dearly and promises to give her a better life, away from The Strip.
Hubbell brings her to his small hometown, where she is not exactly greeted with open arms. Hubbell’s overbearing mother, Fanny (Kelly Bishop), is appalled by the news of their marriage, and frowns on the idea of Michelle moving in with them. Fanny later hosts a wedding reception, where Michelle meets the colorful locals and they all seem to despise her.
The only people that Michelle connects with are Fanny’s ballet students, particularly Bettina “Boo” Jordan (Kaitlyn Jenkins), Ginny Thompson (Bailey Buntain), Melanie Segal (Emma Dumont), and Sasha Torres (Julia Goldani Telles). They’re all very impressed with Michelle’s real world dance experience. Boo takes Michelle’s advice on auditioning to heart, and feels inspired to try out for a prestigious local performance.
Things are starting to look up for Michelle but then, Hubbell is suddenly killed in a car accident. As a result, she’s left feeling alone and very unsure about her future.
Episode 18 — Next!
Michelle auditions for a show in Los Angeles. Sasha and Boo think about taking their respective relationships to the next level.
First aired: February 25, 2013.

Please don’t cancel this show. I really enjoyed it a lot. Very entertaining and stars on it from previous shows I HAVE WQTCHED.
A nice show like this gets cancelled and yet the disgusting shows like “pretty little liars” will go on FOREVER! Am I the only person who sees something wrong with this??
It was a great show. I am very disappointed that it was cancelled. You should cancel bad shows such as NCIS, Burn Notice, Smallville, Xfiles.
I loved Bun Heads and so did my daughter and her friends, why do they insist on taking off the best series on tv 🙁
I loved the show. I wish it had been renewed. The scripts were excellent. The acting was super. The cast blended very well as a team to make the show work. I vote to bring it back.
I enjoyed watching “Bunheads” and hope someone brings it back on. I started watching it from the first episode. I found it to be an interestingly good show. I felt it showed the human fragilities and worries within all of us. Whether it be a teenager in the ballet group, Michelle in her mid 30’s who’s career never took her where she thought she’d be or Fanny who’s in her 50’s who’s lost her only son and now has to face a life she wasn’t prepared for, it had the ability to be a really good program. What ever happened… Read more »
Not what I would call a typical show that a retired military special forces type might make a habit of watching, but this show was special, excellent acting and writing. I looked forward to this show every week. Other than The Big Bang Theory there just is much on.
Love the show!!!!
Great show!
Interesting and funny.
Bun heads is a great show on many levels. Michelle Simms’ character is irreverent and saucy. Kelly Bishop’s character is almost moved from Gilmore Girls, with added nervousness’. Actually Bun heads’ is Gilmore Girls on the west coast. However, it is a great watch.
Let’s hope this show gets the treatment it deserves and is RENEWED pronto! It is smart, well acted, well written, and has the ability to keep you entertained from start to finish. I hope this show sticks around for many seasons to come!
PLEASE do not cut off the bunheads from all of us viewers!!!!!!! It’s a great program with lots of wit, sarcasm, humor, real life situations and a great cast. I look forward to continuing episodes sooner than later!!!
I really enjoyed every episode. I just happened to see it on the “on demand” menu after seeing a preview. I watched the first 3 to 4 episodes without stopping. I am so disappointed. This was the wrong show to cancel. Hope they reconsider.
Great show – good stories/well acted and written and then there’s the dancing! Please renew this show – love it!
This show is quality, amazing, entertaining, uplifting and hilarious. AND has great dancing and singing. What’s not to love?
Please don’t cancel Bunheads!!! It is the best show on television!!!
