I am a big fan of Bonnie’s and have met her on two occasions and she couldn’t be nicer. I’ve had a huge crush on her since I met her in Woolworth’s in 1991. I just read that The Bonnie Hunt Show “is not expected to continue” for a third season.

Bonnie’s back was to me as she was going through a stack of welcome mats. I waited for the woman to leave and came around the corner. I don’t work here.” I’m sorry. Or so I thought. I slipped into the next aisle and overheard Bonnie say to the woman very apologetically, “I don’t know. I thought I had missed my chance when this woman recognized her, too. She went down an aisle and as I tried to get up the courage to speak to her, an elderly woman beat me to it.
