I just needed to get that off my chest! ...in fact so much better than the next best sitcom that it's not worth
trying to calculate. But depending on your opinion of the other
shows, that may or may not be saying much. Let me put my
opinion in a historical perspective and say that "Life with Bonnie" is
one 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's
call all your friends, send e-mail, program your VCR and buy extra
tapes good! You know the type of good I'm talking about... so good
they couldn't copy it if they tried?! Perhaps the people responsible
for this show should have some decision making in all ABC
sitcoms because this show is BUY DISNEY STOCK GOOD!! Am I
making my point?!
Watching "Life with Bonnie" causes you to have a gentle smile for
at least 22 minutes of that hour. That is except for when you are in
the middle of a belly-laugh, or, when the writers want you to feel
sentiment thick enough to make you fight back tears. It's so
original, so clever, honest, sweet and hilarious all that the same
time! There are movie comedies that aren't as good as this show.
It's far far better than "Friends," because the whole family can
watch it. It's better than "...Raymond" or "Frasier" because it's
characters remain consistent, and the comedy is never at the
expense of one character's misery. These shows are often quite
good, but just not in the same league as "Bonnie." I was sad to
see Ms. Hunt's last show cancelled, but if only I knew ABC was
going sneak Ms Hunt away from CBS and launch this show I'd
never would have shed a tear. "The Bonnie Hunt Show" was
excellent, but this new show is simply the best! Everyone I know
who 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 as
good, just so much to choose from), but make no mistake, this
show is a rare gem that will forever be remembered as one of the
great high-water marks of TV comedy.
