Just wanted to write that I agree with the others who've enjoyed Bonnie's efforts. I salute her for trying to bring a refreshing change to a comedy show and trying again later on. She's just a "likeable" personality as her friend Dave Letterman would say and, if she were two cup sizes bigger or more over the top in another sense, we all know she'd have hit it big in the ratings. Pamela Anderson has a sitcom and Bonnie's are both gone...the audience has poor taste. I enjoyed her shows...as long as they lasted.

Another fantastic show by Bonnie Hunt that died too early. I love Bonnie Hunt and I've enjoyed all her forays into TV. Knowing how quickly her first TV show (the first one that she wrote and produced) was cancelled, I'm impressed that she would make another attempt. But I'm very glad she did!

I got to see about 7 minutes of this show, maybe the segment after the first commercial of an episode, then never saw it again. By the time I tried to look it up in a television schedule, it was off the air. BUT that tiny bit of it, from I don’t know what episode (and I don’t remember a single detail of it!) startled me (and it was a slow startle, more like a pleasant anxiety) in some way I could not put into words. It was as startling to me as my first viewing of Night of the Living Dead; much more startling than my first peek at Crime Story or Miami Vice. What was it? Previous posters mention the cross-dialogue (which is rare on TV in general, but which I favor) but I think it was more than that. It was on film, shot on set (not ***** on stage), right? No laugh track, right? Was it a half-hour? A sitcom? Was it multi-camera but not edited online? Was it a one hour with sitcom sensibilities? Was it just extremely well-written and well-acted? I cannot think of any other TV experience as puzzling to me as that 7 minutes. What about it was so different, yet too subtle to fully apprehend? It might even have been the way it was lit, or camera movement, or something. And it was entertaining and good, I am thinking. (During that 7 minutes, it did not JTS.) It may become my Holy Grail.

I nominate Bonnie Hunt as the female equivalent of Ted McGinley. Neither is without acting talent but everything they appear in goes to hell in a handbasket. Hunt has herself a new sitcom this fall. It will be interesting to see how bad it is.

I have to admit the show was rather lame but can anyone who saw it forget the ending? Their company's been bought out by a big conglomerate and the new bosses are going through the building firing everyone they find so all the regular characters flee to Bonnie's office in the hope of safety in numbers. As the minutes tick by, they keep hearing of the new bosses getting closer and firing more people. They huddle with each other for dear life and just as the they hear a knock on the door from the new bosses, the show ENDS! BRILLIANT! It's too bad the REST of the episodes hadn't been that creative or else it might STILL be on

When Morgan disappeared from the show, and then reappeared, played by a different actress.

This show was a gem. A critic's darling that was never given a chance by CBS. It harked back to a time when sitcoms were funny without using smarmy, sarcastic humor. And the characters talked and acted like real-life people. Bonnie is a genius -- with her earlier show "The Building," she became the first woman to write, star, produce, and direct her own sitcom. She did the same for "The Bonnie Hunt Show" and produced a charming, witty show that was totally unappreciated.

I wholeheartedly agree. Bonnie Hunt is one of the funniest women... funniest people around. And she's got an irresistible charm. This show and I think her other one ("The Building") had elements of improv in them that gave them a fresh quality. I don't know... I just think she's great. And the second season of "Davis Rules"? Worth watching just to see Bonnie and Jonathon Winters playing off each other. Bring back Bonnie!

This show was perfect. I was so disappointed when it was cancelled. Bonnie Hunt is wonderful (as D. Letterman and T. Snyder keep trying to tell us)!

This was nearly the perfect show -- bright, intelligent and well-cast. Bonnie Hunt is perfect for television. Therefore, the show didn't stand a chance.

Yet another example of a great show getting canned too soon by a network that seemingly just didn't care. Does anyone remember the robbery episode where David Letterman guest starred - he had a mask on his face, but you could tell by his voice? I can remember my mom and I just dying on the couch watching that.

I think the dialog was one of the best parts of "Bonnie Hunt." In real life people don't deliver lines. And I liked the way she would slip back to her Wisconsin accent when on the phone with her mother. But best of all were her woman-on-the-street segments for the station--some of the funniest stuff on television, ever.

I actually loved this show and still love Bonnie Hunt. The one annoying thing the show did was that way they had where cast members talked over each other or finished each other's sentences. That was very annoying.

I agree it never jumped and died a very young death. Pity.
