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’m saddened that I will not be able to enjoy Bonnie on a daily basis. What a refreshing show where the staff all interacted with a family atmosphere. I cannot believe some of the shows that continue to be on the airwaves in place of Bonnie’s show. We MISS you, Bonnie!
Bonnie came on at 1:00 in central Oklahoma and I always waited and had my lunch with her then. And now you’ve replaced her with yet another cop show?? Give me a break!
Typically, the Bonnie Hunt show has been cancelled. Keeping with the trend toward the demise of intelligence in this country, Bonnie and her staff are another statistic added to the list of decent, intelligent, entertaining TV personalities who disappear due to the clowns in charge of programming. Instead, we are inundated with shows i.e. Jersey Shore, Kate Plus Eight, Girls Gone Bad, etc. Heaven forbid we should view a show of substance with interesting staff and interviewees. Perhaps, the clowns needed more air-time for more commercials… God knows, we need more of them. The loss of the only show worth… Read more »
I’m very disappointted that the Bonnie Hunt show was cancelled. I enjoyed her show very much , refreshing , smart and funny. Please if at all possible bring her show back.
Please bring Bonnie Hunt back! I looked forward to her show every morning. The whole format is so relaxed and friendly, fun and interesting. She will be greatly missed 🙁
I miss Bonnie already. Please bring her back.
I agree with all…..I loved Bonnie’s show, her guests, her mom and the staff. I can not understand why the show didnt make it, perhaps the time slot? It came on at 3PM here and I watched it daily….
I LOVE Bonnie!! Love her sitcoms and movies….and Really love her talk show….. Why is that the ones I love get cancelled. Meanwhile, all the bogus reality shows remain on the air!!!!! Thats probably what the networks want…. Reality garbage!!! Bonnie was a breath of fresh air. So is/her precious mother!!! Both will be sorely missed.
bonnie hunt was a good and clean show. what is wrong with the tv people. why cant we have a clean talk show? we miss you bonnie. hope you come back soon. i am sorry we did not get to meet you thank you for the time you were on the air. doyle and joan phipps
Duh, I just discovered the Bonnie Hunt show was canceled. I am so dissapointed, I LOVED that show. Her interaction with her crew was great. I laughed through every show, and I don’t think I missed too many. Please consider her bringing her back. There’s nothing good at the time slot (2:00 pm) either. PLEASE!!!!!!!
I’m so sad that The Bonny Hunt Show has been cancelled:(.. I loved her show because her and her mom are such good and wholesome people!! I loved the feel good moment at the end of the show..maybe the show was too wholesome for people that are rapidly turning more and more disgusting.. It was also cute when Bonny kinda flirted with her guests! Bonny..sex it up a bit, lose a couple more lbs and act like a Lindsay Lohan for a day! Hook a guy and get some action! Lol! Love, tish:)
Such a bummer! 🙁 I really enjoyed her and her show and it will be missed by many.
I was watching the Bonnie Hunt Show at 4P>M> in the East, but , miss , and, they have put Dr. Phil on for 2 hr. Don’t care for that program at all. When is Bonnie coming back?
Its sad that Oprah is still on , but they cancel Bonnie Hunt. Bonnie’s show was just a breath of fresh air, alot of humor. I guess you have to be a trashy show to stay on air. Not saying that about Oprah mind you, but she just makes me sick. I choose not to watch her at all, and as for the ELLEN show, I think she should have been taken off air and never allowed to be on again. She looks so stupid dancing like a dying chicken on her show. Uggh. I am so disgusted that we… Read more »
