    How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

    It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

    how in God's name can programmers retain such dreck as "Yes, Dear" and "Hope and Faith" yet cancel a creative and charming sitcom such as LWB? The mind boggles. It's been a few seasons since it's untimely demise, and, while there were flawed elements, and Bonnie may have been a little self-indulgent at times, the actors' joy at simply being on the air and working together was infectious. The cast was like an improv group and might as well have been called the "bonnie players", since quite a few of the cast had appeared together in one Hunt vehicle or another. If there has ever been a better Halloween episode conjured up for television, I challenge the reader to compare it to the episode in which the cast performs as characters from "The Wizard of Oz", a truly brilliant send up, and one that will forever be kept in my library to be replayed each Halloween. LWB, as under-rated though it was, developed a core audience that enjoyed the writing, improv and good cheer that each episode brought. It is sorely missed, and hopefully will wind up on DVD.

    Life with Bonnie is a show worth saving from cancellation. It has a great cast with the great Bonnie Hunt, talented David Alan Grier, hunky Mark Derwin, and the wonderful Marianne Meulleruex. The other supporting cast members are also worth mentioning especially Holly. The supporting cast is an excellent ensemble. This show is an ensemble show with each actor doing excellent work. Like the show's theme, it is old fashioned wholesome comedy. It would be a terrible shame for ABC to allow this show to be cancelled after two seasons on the air. I hope some network will come and save this show from permanent cancellation. ABC does not know what it has until it's gone permanently. Until Hope & Faith came on, Bonnie's show was the Friday night anchor for wholesome family comedies. Bonnie Hunt is one of the nicest people in Hollywood. She has reunited with Mark and Marianne Meullereux who worked with her previously in other shows. I just can't understand why this show can't survive after all. Bonnie Hunt has been nominated for Golden Globe Award. While she is in the category with cast members of Sex in the City, she stands out for being wholesome, clean, wonderfully charming, and delightful to watch. Her show has garnered emmy nominations for Jonathan Winters and David Duchovny. She is a giving person. I have noticed she always sets her shows in Chicago as her main setting. I enjoyed the recent episodes with David Alan Grier living in the house with him. I am sorry that this show is going. I wish ABC reconsider!My best wishes to Bonnie Hunt and to everybody else in the cast and crew!

    I just needed to get that off my chest! ...in fact so much better than the next best sitcom that it's not worthtrying to calculate. But depending on your opinion of the othershows, that may or may not be saying much. Let me put myopinion in a historical perspective and say that "Life with Bonnie" isone of the best sitcoms EVER on Television! It's "Cosby Show"good! It's "Happy Days" good! It's "Dick Van Dyke Show" good! It'scall all your friends, send e-mail, program your VCR and buy extratapes good! You know the type of good I'm talking about... so goodthey couldn't copy it if they tried?! Perhaps the people responsiblefor this show should have some decision making in all ABCsitcoms because this show is BUY DISNEY STOCK GOOD!! Am Imaking my point?!Watching "Life with Bonnie" causes you to have a gentle smile forat least 22 minutes of that hour. That is except for when you are inthe middle of a belly-laugh, or, when the writers want you to feelsentiment thick enough to make you fight back tears. It's sooriginal, so clever, honest, sweet and hilarious all that the sametime! There are movie comedies that aren't as good as this show.It's far far better than "Friends," because the whole family canwatch it. It's better than "...Raymond" or "Frasier" because it'scharacters remain consistent, and the comedy is never at theexpense of one character's misery. These shows are often quitegood, but just not in the same league as "Bonnie." I was sad tosee Ms. Hunt's last show cancelled, but if only I knew ABC wasgoing sneak Ms Hunt away from CBS and launch this show I'dnever would have shed a tear. "The Bonnie Hunt Show" wasexcellent, but this new show is simply the best! Everyone I knowwho knows anything about quality TV loves this show! Let me just close on this note. It may not have "Seinfeld's"numbers 'cause there's just so much else on TV (none of it asgood, just so much to choose from), but make no mistake, thisshow is a rare gem that will forever be remembered as one of thegreat high-water marks of TV comedy.

    I am absolutely thrilled to see that Bonnie Hunt's 5th effort to land a series is looking more and more successful on ABC. She is one of the most gifted comedic actresses on the planet as well as a superb writer and improvisational expert!!! I am doubly excited to see Don Lake involved as well...another one of the great comic talents and Marianne Muelerlile as well!!!!! People, watch this one...smart comedy with heart. Even John Ritter's new show is a great lead-in!!! I wasn't expecting to like it as much, but having a teenage daughter, I could totally relate! Congrats to all concerned!
