musicgirrl16 This show was the best, before it's time. It would have an audience even now. I don't know what company was in charge, The WB, CW or ABC Family? (They missed the ball) I watched the show when it came out in 2012 and now again in 2018. (Big thanks Hulu!) This could have been as big as "Jane the Virgin" or "Crazy Ex Girlfriend". I would love to see this relaunched, (that's all they're doing these days) But honestly, this was only the show it is/was because of the cast and creators (Sutton Foster and Kelly Bishop, love, love and the girls, and my favorite content creator Amy Sherman Palladino)

spirit-of-1969 Look, I'm a 22-year-old male, not exactly this show's target audience. I only caught it because I was watching the hilarious train wreck that is The Secret Life of the American Teenager (god what an awful show).I was expecting more of the same from Bunheads (I have to echo everyone else's sentiments here: that title is terrible). Instead, I found myself totally engrossed. Sutton Foster is an incredible find -- bundles of charisma, great comedic timing and the ability to pull off the dramatic stuff without being cheesy. The conflict between her and Fanny is well pitched and comedic and should carry the show far. The teens are all great actors considering their age and the fact that this is ABC Family, and have a cute camaraderie that will be fertile ground for drama later on (you can see the writers already laying the foundation for this).The best part, though, is the show's humor. Michelle name drops Kirsten Wiig and it's a good comparison -- manic, physical but always with intelligence and heart. The writing obviously never reaches the heights (or the grossness) of Bridesmaids, but Bunheads is honestly funnier than any network comedy not airing on NBC.If you liked Gilmore Girls, or want a family comedy-drama, or are just bored on a Monday night, I highly recommend checking out Bunheads. Even if you're a twenty-something guy...

dramaqueen-jennifer This show is such a disappointment. Hardly any dancing! Boring. Long drawn out awkward sentences from the main character meant to be funny. But not. I wanted to watch this show for the plight of professional dancers. not the plight of a washed up Vegas show girl who's occasional moves are mediocre at best. My favorite part is the intro! at least that has some dancing. And the part when Trudy says she blames Michelle and Michelle agrees with her? So annoying! its Trudy's fault for hitting Hubble with the car! hello!! Last episode, Boo didn't make the audition. I guess the writers think they can make it so she gets in next time. But honey, the shows not gonna last that long. Not funny, not interesting, I have no emotional investment in the characters, and NOT ENOUGH DANCING.

delightful-life Hope you have read the story line. Beyond that: The girl (Sutton Foster) is a 30 something girl, life has passed her by in the dancing business and she is now an ordinary show girl in Las Vegas. She has a 40 something guy who sees her show all the time and is a big admirer.He keeps courting her all the time and finally she relents and marries him, seeing that she has no further career in her present life.The show moves along fast, and its once she reaches the guy's hometown that the real story begins.The whole cast seems nice, especially Sutton. And the direction and editing was really tight, a very good indication that some good guys are behind this, so I think this has promise.I can't give a full recommendation, but I am intrigued and will continue to watch.Give it a shot, just 5 mins would be enough and you will know if you like this kind of show.Cheers!---------------------------Review after seeing episode 2:I was so disappointed. The quality has gone on a nose dive and the show has become silly. The one actor that I was rooting for, he was just eliminated all together, now all that is left is a group of really silly, artificial people with mediocre acting. The teenage girls that they showed in episode 1, the students in the dance class, they are just horrible. I guess the point is to show them slowly evolving over the many years this show might run, but its going to be really difficult to live through their bitching and super idiotic behaviour.Opinion - If you are someone very much into ballet, you should give this show a shot, else its just not worth our time considering that there are better shows like 'The Newsroom' running on TV right now.Cheers!
