The overpopulation -- no sitcom needs nine regulars -- is a major problem for 'Bonnie'... With her lovely effervescence and earthiness, Hunt seems ever more confident. When a scene is really hopping (which happens more often this season), her glee is as engaging as the banter itself. Give the girl more room, and 'Life With Bonnie' could be peachy.
