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?

Bonnie was fabulous. But then again most fabulous things don’t get credit!
Her talk show was the only talk show I actually taped because I didn’t want to miss it!
It was something on TV that was funny, real, human, sweet, kind, compassionate, loving, great for families….
well…all the words I’m using usually are not part of the Television Language these days.
Thank goodness TV doesn’t make or break Bonnie. She will be the same amazing person we saw on TV somewhere else!
I am so disappointed that Bonnie is off of the air! All that remains is liberal media and trash!
My wife and I got up one day to discover “Bonnie
Bring back Bonnie PLEASE! I will miss her funny, caring, self-deprecating and honest down-to-earth wit and way with people. She has such a great crew and Mom, as well… Why don’t they keep her show and move it to another time and get rid of all that other fluff and dross that networks seem to love promoting?? As others before my comment have mentioned, she’s different, not complicated and REFRESHING – what is wrong with THAT? Please bring back the Bonnie Hunt Show!!!!
I loved the Bonnie Hunt Show. I thought it was the best morning Talk Show on TV. I am so disappointed that another Network did not pick up her show. How can we start a campaign to get her show back on the air? There are so many court reporting programs on the air. I would rather see Bonnie Hunt Show again. I loved the family atmosphere & her mother, Alice. Please, Please…..someone bring Bonnie Hunt Show back again!!!
I am so very dissappointed that The Bonnie Hunt Show has been cancelled……..It was a joy to watch.. the guest were very interesting and Bonnie is so very entertaining… Compared to Barbara Walter’s The View, that airs also on ABC, and that I did enjoy once upon a time, but now it is horrible……….Too much political garbage and most of it coming from the hosts , if that is what they are called. We can hear and see the political news 24/7 on the main stream media. And when these women do have a guest that is someone you would… Read more »
I THINK IT’S A SHAME TO TAKE A WONDERFULLY TALENTED WOMAN AS BONNIE OFF THE AIR….AS SHE GAVE A REAL DOWN TO EARTH VIBE TO HER SHOW AND WAS A TOTALLY GENUINE PERSONALITY ON TV!!!! HER LOVE OF ANIMALS…HER MOM….HER LOVE OF HER CREW…ALL WERE SPECIAL SURPRISES SHE HAD TO OFFER. THE REPLACEMENT SHOW IS LOW CALIBER…. OVER-DONE…AND BORING TO DEATH!!!! THERE ARE TOO MANY DESIGN SHOWS ON….AND THERE IS NOTHING NEW TO SHOW EXCEPT TO FOCUS ON A FORECLOSURE SHOW….HOW TO PREVENT…HOW TO SAVE YOUR PROPERTY…..HOW TO HANDLE A BANK…….HOW TO PUT YOUR DUCKS IN A ROW…..HOW TO SELL… Read more »
Iv,e been looking for Bonnie for a few weeks I found out today she was canceled.I am sick to hear that I loved her show. Good luck Bonnie
Bring back Bonnie!!!! I hardly watch T.V., but i recorded your show. I loved it! It wasn’t you Bonnie it was the time slot, if they were smart they’d put you on later and then ratings would go threw the roof…. Hope to see you on something else soon:). (your mom and Don too)!
I dont need more anoying stuff – commercials are bad enough! Bring Bonnie back!!!
Once again a great show is tossed out for more junk.
i sure miss bonnies show i though it was very good / she always made me smile / she was great !!
I’ve been looking for her new shows this past week – I hadn’t heard that she was cancelled and I’m sad. I really enjoyed her, her Mom, her staff……
Her show was low-key, wholesome and funny.
It looks like you have to give away cars and big money to stay on daytime TV.
I have been lucky enough to have a tv in my office butnot always able to watch the show. I can barely get my morning started anymore without her charming self and staff and of course, Mom. Dinah’s comment above is SO true- and America wonder’s what wrong with our kids?! Ther’s just no good old fashioned humor and have you watched her smile at a child? Love just pours from her smile and eyes. Get a life people and come back to what we need- maybe, NBC needed to program it closer to lunch time when everyone is sitting… Read more »
I did’nt even know that she had a show until this summer when I was laid off from work and was home in the morning. I started to look forward to seeing her every morning. I really enjoyed the feel good moments and seeing her mom with her joke of the day! What is happening in this world when a show like Bonnie Hunt is replaced with a show like Maury? (channel 43, Knoxville, TN) We are slowly turning real decent shows away from the viewing audience and replacing them with reality shows of all kinds. Don’t we get enough… Read more »
