‘Bonnie Hunt’ Done After This Season
Syndicated talker won’t get a third year

Warner Bros.’ The Bonnie Hunt Show will go off the air after the end of this season, sources confirmed Monday night. Hunt gave her staff the official word Monday morning.That the show won’t make it until season three is hardly a surprise. Bonnie Hunt has hovered at a 0.8 live plus same day rating since the show’s launch last September, which isn’t high enough to make a first-run strip work.
The NBC-owned stations bought the show in a two-year deal, which comes to an end after this season.
A possible replacement for the show is the company’s MomLogic, which Warner Bros. is shopping to stations for one year on an all-barter basis.

A pity. I really enjoyed her show. It was a breath of fresh air amid all the trash being hurled at the viewing audience today. So, we were left to watch Ellen incorporate Her mom into her show ala Helen? No thanks.With networks axing good programming (instead of promoting it nig time) and family entertainment.. we get
mini bites' to which we look forward every week..until the programming is discarded for more of the same old trash viewing. Miss The Good Guys. Were it not for Castle and Blue Bloods, I
d turn the tv off for good in this house (but I Have started turning it off Waay more often)

Aw, that really sucks. I enjoyed Bonnie Hunt! She is the best talk show host ever! I wonder what her next project will be? Hope someone else puts her show back on. :(

My husband and I visited our son in Southern California (before the cancellation of the show)and one of things I wanted to see was "The Bonnie Hunt Show;" we had a great time! My husband and son had never been to a taping and thought it was great!! I miss Bonnie, her show and her staff. She is quality personified.

I watched the show a few times because I don't like watching TV but Bonnie made me want to do it.
I love her and loved the style of the show.
Hope to see her in another project soon so that I get back my desire to watch TV.
