Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Icequeen1222 I think she added some fun to the show, I feel bad that she is gone. Maybe she can be written back in please. I really think if they had given Sam a friend as well that would have been nice. Charlie has Frankie to pal around with. I just thought that the show was more interesting also having to juggle with three kids instead of two.

critic_w 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.

katlover888 Whenever I see critiques that are split between very good reviews and very bad reviews, with nothing in between, I know that the show is worth watching, the book is worth reading, the politician is worth listening to. So it is with Life with Bonnie.It follows in the tradition of the very best of family comedy - from I Love Lucy to the Dick Van Dyke Show to Eight is Enough to Mr. Belvedere. Unfortunately, the form has been in short supply for the past decade, replaced by the work place comedy and the room mate comedy - forms that allow for more shock, controversy, sexual innuendo & raunch.Those who want cutting edge comedy that cuts to the quick will not be amused by this gentle, classy sitcom.However, if you want a show that you can watch with your 14 year old daughter and 10 year old son on one side, your husband, next to you, along with your 60 year old father and your 83 year old grandmother, this show is for you. You'll find that you are all laughing at the same things.The humor is a kind humor that is based in age old comedy. It is not at someone's expense. The improv segments add a spontaneity. You are invited to laugh with the characters - & with the actors themselves. It is simply funny stuff for those who love a classic kind of comedy that has been out of fashion.

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!
