What I Say
Very interesting premise: a sitcom that is based around a reality segment.
My Analysis & Prediction
Probable full season. Bonnie Hunt deserves a hit. This might be a moderate hit. Not sure how the audience will react to the quirk part of the show. It's in a tough slot, though not as tough as TUE 8pm. ABC is willing to take anything that remotely resembles a hit and will probably have a lot more patience that most nets show today.
What They Say
Writer/director/producer/actress Bonnie Hunt plays a working mom whose career as a local TV show host brings her a level of pseudo-celebrity. Which doesn't sit too well with her family, when they see themselves reflected in some of the stories she tells while on camera.

Bonnie Hunt brings the same accessibility she brought to the films "Jerry Maguire," "Jumanji" and "Return to Me" to her new family series Life with Bonnie, on which she portrays Bonnie Molloy, a woman who juggles the roles of wife, mother and host of the local morning talk show "Morning Chicago." In the series, Hunt's improvisational skills shine during unscripted interviews with real life guests (non-actors) of "Morning Chicago." In the pilot episode, Bonnie traded quips and tips with two authentic Italian chefs during an offbeat-cooking segment. The unscripted segments of the talk show, along with the talented cast of regulars, make for a truly unique comedy mix. [Visit ABC's site for the continuation.]
