The end is coming for The Bonnie Hunt Show after two seasons on the air. Hosted by actress and comedian Bonnie Hunt, the Warner Bros. syndicated show has been struggling in the ratings essentially since it debuted.
The series has stayed on the air for two seasons mainly because NBC-owned stations had made a two-year deal. Warners could have pulled the plug last spring but instead showed faith and hoped that ratings would improve. Now that the agreement is coming to an end, so is The Bonnie Hunt Show.
Hunt reportedly gave the bad news to her staff on Monday morning but the cancellation wasn’t officially confirmed until last night.
By all accounts, the daytime series will remain in production and complete the season so there are lots of new episodes to come.
What do you think? Why did the show fail? Is there no room for more than a couple of daytime talk shows, like The Ellen DeGeneres Show and The Oprah Winfrey Show? Or, is there something lacking in Hunt’s show?

I AM SADDEN THAT TAKE A GOOD CLEAN SHOW OFF I NEVER MISS A SHOW BUT ANY GOOOD SHOW GET TOOK OFF THE AIR
I think the ratings were low because the caliber of daytime TV watchers who watch Judge Perro, followed by Wendy Williams (trash TV), just aren’t worthy of great television.
The network needs to become more creative with their scheduling, or another network needs to pick her up,
Sorry to see Bonnie go. It was the best morning show on TV.
Her show is the most refreshing thing on day time t.v.! She is the geniune article!….funny, original, intelligent, and compassionate. Someone is making a HUGE mistake cancelling this show. Where can we write to save her show????
I am so mad at the cancelling of the Bonnie Hunt show !! It was the most descent show on daytime TV. I honestly think I’m through with NBC. I enjoyed BH every day and looked forward to it. Is there a chance of getting it back? Ann Edmonds
This has been the BEST day time talk show ever ! Bonnie is so heartwarming, funny, and just an all around wholesome person. Please do not cancel this show. We need more shows like this that give us nice, family, heartwarming entertainment. We are sick and tired of all the reality shows, murder shows, and all the feel bad shows that currently clog the airways. Please do not cancel this show !!!!

I live in the LA area where Bonnie’s show goes head-to-head with Oprah every day at 3 pm. I TiVo Bonnie every day & skip Oprah (or catch her late night re-run). With Oprah “retiring” after this season, I think many of her viewers would watch Bonnie. NBC, P l e a s e extend the Bonnie Hunt Show for one more season!!!! She is the best daytime thing out there!!! America needs Bonnie! We need to laugh and experience someone on TV who is genuine.
I just recently retired and found the Bonnie Hunt show by accident. What a great show, so funny and unique. It is a shame that a show so good will be off the air and probably replaced with some uninteresting and boring morning show. Have Bonnie replace Jay Leno – that should increase the ratings
When Jay Leno’s show was doing so poorly I said to my husband they should replace it with The Bonnie Hunt Show so genuine and funny I guess that not selling right now She will do fine the cream always rises to the top Alice and Bob did a great job Sorry to see the show go My TV will be off from 2-3 in New York
I don’t understand. Bonnie’s show is the best show on television. She makes me laugh and most of all “feel good.” She is so positive and funny..I just don’t get it. You’re not going to find anyone better. Move her to late night television. I’ll DVR her!! Please don’t cancel the show!!
Please get involved and help save her show. Go to http://thebonniehuntteam.weebly.com/index.html and see what you can do.
Write you local station that carries her show, sign the petition on her website, write sponsers. Have you heard her talk about Walgreens? Let them know it. Call WB and tell them what a mistake this is.
