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 going to miss this show soooo much. Love Bonnie and all her staff. And her MOTHER! Please keep her on!!!
I do not know what their thinking we LOVE her show and watch it everyday, we’ve even driven to CA. to be at a tapping…..
This is SO WRONG, and I’m asking everyone to write to Warner Bro. and ask that she stays on…. we can do this if we ALL help and fight for Bonnie and her crew….
I love the Bonnie Hunt show. She is funny, entertaining and a down to earth type of person. She will be missed and I hope that she gets picked up by another station.
I didn’t know Bonnie Hunt was was on day time TV. I’ve been retired for seven years and bored to death with day time TV. The View is nothing but a screaming match . Drives me nuts. I never watch it. Oprah has become increasing boring. Bonnie Hunt’s show is wonderful. The ratings would be doubled if people know it was on , when and where. Everything about the show is entertaining. It’s like I know everyone on the show personally. NBC you finally have something worthwhile, why kill. The person responseable for cancelling the show should be cancelled, I… Read more »
I think this totally sucks! I LOVE Bonnie’s show. She adds a laugh & a chuckle to my morning. We all need a daily dose of levity. Oprah has gotten too big for her britches. She does NOT own the airwaves! I will be so happy when the “gosple according to Oprah” goes off the air. Between “O” and Dr. Phil, we have enough controversal “talk shows”. People like Bonnie and Ellen make us laugh; sometimes are ourselves, which is “cleansing of the soul”! I’m going to miss Bonnie and her staff. They have been like family for the last… Read more »
I have been a viewer since the show aired. I love the show, it always boosts my spirits. I think it’s funny to leave shows on that destroy family values and morals, but cancel the ones that build on them. What is wrong with this world?
Good luck to the crew and someday, they will get the good fortune they deserve!!!
What is wrong with NBC, jeez this is the only show on their lineup that I record every day to enjoy when I get home from work — what can we do to make them realize this is a BIG MISTAKE taking her off the air. Please, rethink this!!!!
I follow this show everyday. I’m at work during the time that it airs, but we record everyone. This is such a good wholesome show. It will be a huge mistake to let it go. I look so forward to coming home and watching the show that I missed. The best part is how everyone on the crew is one big family. When Bonnie sits down and starts to talk with Don, the audience, and other crew members it’s so funny. After working all day in a 911 center I know that somewhere (usually when Bonnie arrived) I’m going to… Read more »
It is late to post my feelings, but I am appalled that Bonnie’s delightful show is canceled and so much garbage is on the air. Surely an uplifting show as The Bonnie Hunt Show is needed!
IT BREAKS MY HEART TO THINK THAT THE BONNIE HUNT SHOW IS TO BE CANCELLED! THIS IS THE ONE TRULY WHOLESOME AND INNOVATIVE PROGRAM ON TV. I CAN’T IMAGINE WHAT COULD RE PLACE IT THAT WOULD BE AS ORIGINAL AS THAT PROGRAM IS1
HELLO?????? BONNIE HUN’TS SHOW IS A “REAL” FAMILY FUN SHOW. PLEASE, DON’T BE SO FOOLISH AS TO CANCELL IT!
I am a born and bred NBC show fan………day and night. Entertainment, politics, information………all of it.
If you take away Bonnie Hunt, I go to Discovery and any other channel BUT NBC. Don’t be fools!
Don’t go to ABC either-They carry it here in PA
Could it possibly be the time slot that the show is in? Here in the M idwest, it seems that every show that is in that 10:00 a.m. time slot gets booted! I really like the show and will hate very much for it to go. I actually take time out to sit down and watch it daily.
*I love the Marine avatar they put after my last comment. With me that would definitely be “Don’t ask, don’t tell.” Back to Bonnie; Come on folks, let’s save her show!
They can’t do this to us/Bonnie/her staff!!! I just found out about the cancellation last week. This is really bad, but I kind of started tearing up watching Friday’s show. I feel like I’m about to lose a good friend. We’ve got to do something. It’s just not right. To Bonnie: If we gather a hunnerd signatures, will that help? Seriously, what can we do? Quick, somebody come up with a plan…
Hi Michael–Somewhere if you search the posts-this was weeks ago-there was a link that you could click and it would automatically place you on the roster of people protesting the removal of Bonnie’s show. If you can’t find it –maybe you can locate one on her website-I’m glad you care so much as well.
Why is this show being cancelled?? I DVR it every day…. why can’t we have funny, intelligent, shows on TV? I am soooo sick of Jersey Shores, etc. Bonnie and Ellen are truly funny and “feel good” shows…….I am really disappointed…enough of all the reality crappy shows……I am middle aged and pissed off at who makes these decision. Somebody out there WAKE UP!!!!
