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?

It’s too bad the Bonnie Hunt Show was canceled. I didn’t really know who she was in the beginning but grew to really enjoy her show. Not self-serving or self-righteous, but good entertainment with great guests.
I’m sorry to see you go. I love Nate but he is no replacement for Bonnie!
I so enjoyed the Bonnie Hunt Show. I taped it every day and couldn’t wait to get home and watch it. She was funny, sensitive and so down to earth. There should be more shows on TV like this one. We enjoyed watching and listening to her mom and th great relationship they had. My husband, who doesn’t watch any of these other afternoon shows, enjoyed the show. Sorry to see you go. Hope someone picks up your show.
I think Bonnie and her staff were awesome~! I also feel that she had one of the best shows out there… I always looked forward to seeing her show, and it’s too bad that
the show was cancelled…. We’ll miss you Bonnie…
Thank you for all the good times we shared during your show…
Anthony…..
Bonnie has a feel good moment at the end of every show, but I think her whole show is a feel good hour! Sorry to see her go and her lovable staff will be missed and most especially her visits with her mom.My mornings will be emptier without her show!
Please remove this great program, and replace it
With some gay, ghost hunter, pro wrestling
Booty shaking whores…. A real reality program
That’s what we really need, more of that crap
Programing you insist in shoving at us,,,,
Or just go to real porn.! No wonder
So many young people have no values
…. You programers help set the example of what
is hip and cool
Sorry Bonnie, your just not a big enough of a trash
*****…..thank god someone has values!!!
Rusty
Sorry Bonnie…. I love you,, but you just are
Not a big enough trash *****
I am so sad that Bonnie Hunt is being cancelled. She is a breath of fresh air compared to all the other smut that is on t.v. Put her on in the evening for us people that still have a moral fiber left in our bodies. Put her up again those smutty reality shows and she will win out with the baby boomers. We love her. This is just a crime!

I will be so sorry to see the Bonnie Hunt Show canceled. I can’t believe she doesn’t have a large audience. She is very witty and her show is so much fun to watch. Maybe a different time of day would attract more viewers – she is on at noon here. She would be a great replacement for Oprah. I’d rather watch her than Ellen or Oprah any day. Please bring her back.
Bonnie Hunt’s show was like the early Steve Allen, Jack Paar versions talk shows. No glitz or glam. You don’t see Tom Cruz jumping on the sofa or, for the unteenth time, yet a new diet that will change the persona of every woman on earth as touted by a god-like talk show host (noticed the small g in god-like). What you have in the Bonnie Hunt show is a truly warm, caring generous and loving person bringing wholesome entertainment to the ‘Boob-Tube’ that can be viewed by every family member. An after school moment, where everyone can unwind.
WHAT????? noooooo!!! Bonnie’s show is outstanding ….I can’t believe people are not watching …. It’s the perfect storm of an excellent combination of genuine interviews, engaged staff& crew, fun, laughter. This is horrible news and disappointingly short-sighted. Thank you Bonnie & crew for such a pleasure. Best wishes… I hope someone comes to their senses and cancels the cancel!!!!
I think it’s pretty bad when a good, clean, fun show like Bonnie’s is cancelled. She has something for everyone. I like Nate, but his show belongs on HGTV, not her slot. Why not put her in Oprah’s slot when she leaves? She’s so worn out anyway, keep Bonnie – she’s fresh.
How stupid of you to cancel the Bonnie Hunt Show. We are leftt with trivial stupid brain dead shows,
What do I think? I think Bonnie was too good for the viewers that watch at that time of day. She needs to be in a timeslot where thinking, interesting people would be apt to watch. In my area, she was on opposite “Ellen”. While I like Ellen herself, I do not care for her show and haven’t watched since it began. Oprah lost me some time ago when she went out in orbit. But Bonnie I completely enjoyed, her crew are great and they all seem to be a family, her mother, a true jewel. No, I won’t watch… Read more »
I agree Janis..although I do like Ellen & Oprah…I love Bonnie Hunt…she is funny, sweet, genuine, love the format, her staff, her mom…..she is too good….they’d rather watch all the stupid smut shows and reality shows…..what a bummer!
loved bonny’s show. now the huckabee show is on in that slot. what a joke. now i change the channel
We all love Bonnie and why you are canceling a great show like hers is beyond me.. she is so terrific..those reality shows are awful…. I will not watch any replacement for Bonnie .. she has a terrific wit and is a great host… her guests love her and they are so interesting.. she is not garbage like so many shows they put on tv now… I hope some other station picks her up.. she is the best tv host on tv.. Ellen is so silly and tiresome.. Oprah is leaving and she does the same stuff.. gave Nate Berkus… Read more »
