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?

She is a gem and I love her show, her witt and it is a shame that she is being cancelled. NBC ..move her to another time slot please.
There aren’t any shows on that can make me actually make me laugh out loud and now someone with really bad judgement is taking it away. I will not only miss Bonnie and the crew but her precious mom as well! I hope some one rethinks their decision. PLEASE!!!
I am saddened by the loss of the Bonnie Hunt show! Love this show, love the format, love the woman! Funny, direct and heartwarming! OH YEAH…now I know why the powers that be don’t want the show to continue…they don’t know what to do with all of that in Hollywood! Move her show to Chicago and let it go on!
Just cannot believe that Fox is still going to cancel this show. I guess they do not like
a clean family show like Bonnie Hunt.
I hope she ends up on an other space rather than Fox. I will try not to watch Fox from
now on. Just plain STUPID of them. No thought of what IS a great show. I would fire
the person that made this dumb decision.
This morning’s show was just an example of why this show needs to go on. It was wonderful. How can we loose this wonderful show?
I can’t believe the network is cancelling Bonnie’s show. I don’t miss a day without her show. It is the one I watch consistently . She tells it like it is, besides having one of the best crews anyone could have. Love the “Alice” parts too. I am really going to miss her. How dumb can a network be?
Your show failed because you had guests that had class and charm. they use love for thier work and families and animals to rule thier lives.the point was not like opra to hear her name and oh how wonderdful Iam Say anything or get anyone for money to say it for her. They are God’s ful circle. that is true. Opera is what she has always been, and well always will be. Live in boy toy.God’s must get sick to hear talk on her faith. Gay friend’s show, same thing on her show. they are in for a big surprise… Read more »
Bonnie Hunt will continue to do great entertainment. TV viewers are the losers in this situation
In watching Bonnie Hunt this AM I began to be alarmed at the indication being made of her show being cancelled. I am surprised and disappointed.
She is a breath of fresh air, genuine, caring,kind, without a cutting/negative style, class, loves her clever mother and very entertaining in an uplifting way. If I have tv on at that time of day she is most definately my first choice.
Sorry to hear the news Bonnie. Of the daytime talk show, evening too, you are the cream of the crop. 🙁
I’m very sorry to see Bonnie go, it is to bad that we can’t have a funny NICE person who makes you feel like you are watching a person just like yourself! A shame they keep crap like The View and can’t find a place for Bonnie 🙁
This is my favorite show. I watch faithfully every morning. She is a great start to my day, and I will miss her. I think the show is funny, and smart. The crew has a great relationship with Bonnie. I will miss you Bonnie, but hope to see you soon in something fabulous!!!
I can not believe that the Bonnie Hunt show is being cancelled. I am not a fan of talk shows but her show is so entertaining mostly due to the fact that Bonnie is so straight forward with her remarks and down right funny. Sorry but Rosie O’donnell is not anywhere near as good as Bonnie, I am heartbroken that she won’t be on.
I am upset to hear this news. Bonnie is such a loving and caring person. She is not a controversial figure like Ellen. If anything she is just as funny as Ellen – Ellen is ‘popular’ now, b/c being ‘gay’ is ‘in’ in hollywood. Sad. I think, Bonnie show was not promoted as heavily as the Ellen show. However, people LOVE Bonnie and her show, I tuned for the first time last year – and fell in love with her show, I even got tickets to see her live! I really wish NBC would re-consider.
Fox cancels a Bonnie Hunt who is funny, entertaining and worth watching. They cancel Bonnie and give Rosie O’Donnell a show, no one likes Rosie, she is NOT worth watching. Many viewers are upset at FOX for doing making this move. FOX – TV not worth watching!!
It really sucks that this NICE and entertaining show is being cancelled. I am sure it will be replaced by some trash or reality crap.
