Life with Bonnie Audience Reviews

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
gell3334 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.
Syl 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!
jmatrixrenegade There is a reason why Bonnie Hunt's previous series didn't last ... there was a certain lack of any "there" there. She has talent, has an interesting off center p.o.v., but at times you get the idea that everything is just an inside joke mostly for the actors' amusement (many whom went from show to show, e.g., Bonnie Hunt's friend Holly followed her along, and her now husband played someone she was in love with on a past show of hers). This is shown here by a lot of ad libbing (especially by guest stars, who are sometimes amusing, sometimes not) and steady as you go scenes that sometimes just don't work.This show has a few annoying characters ... the son is just too cutesy (ditto his friend), the piano player is just annoying as is the housekeeper (who does less work than Alice). The daughter, who actually was enjoyable, for some reason wasn't in many episodes this season. More time for the annoyingly cute son? The station owner (Carl Reiner, again not funny -- he wasn't that funny on The Dick Van Dyke Show [admit it], but he is surely a historical figure on t.v. ... doesn't make his lame appearances more enjoyable) is another one I can do without. A show you want to like more than you do, it's a good fit on Friday nights... with other nice enough comedies that aren't really that funny, but you watch them, since they are nice and all.
scalumnus The intitial negative critics are now proven wrong! "Life with Bonnie" is here to stay. Rising up the ratings chart, the show has proven it's combination of subtle "stick together" message, and balls out funny improvistation from Bonnie Hunt, David Alan Grier, and the rest of the cast is a hit with Tuesday night fans. The episodes that followed the first two showed a steady stream of starpower including Kevin Pollack, David Duchovney, building to Tom Hanks that brought wit, romance, and flat out funny shows that showcased Bonnie and her guests. This show is guaranteed a slot on next years line-up! So there! "Life with Bonnie" stays!
