Was Helen Hunt the Bonnie Franklin of the '90s?

I'm thinking of the similarities...a mega hit TV show, rumors of being "difficult", questionable talent?

I'm guessing you also started the Paul Reiser thread

Lord are they going to reboot mad about you now?!

R2, I believe they rebooted it last year. But hardly anyone saw it.

I called the show "Mad About Your Casting"

NO! Helen was a child star (Bionic Woman, After School Special). It was amazing that she got a good gig in her 20s-30s, despite her eyes that always look closed. Bonnie Franklin? Took advantage of the FT (free tit) movement of the mid-70s, but had no talent. Altho I find this type of stan sypmathetic, I do agree he was correct stanning HH vs. BF.

Did Bonnie do LSD and jump out of a second story window and threaten people with shards of broken glass?

Yeah, because Bonnie Franklin bagged 5 Emmy’s and an Oscar

Helen actually hates to tap.

Helen Hunt was the 1960s of Kim Darby.

Valerie Bertinell auditioned for Mad About You.

Bonnie deserved an Emmy. But no one would ever give her a chance.

How DID Hunt snag those awards. She's not all that. Twister was poo.

Bonnie could never have pulled off the Bionic Woman, with the exception of possibly being a Fembot.

Bonnie was as bad as it gets.

Damnit, Paul!

Maybe, just maybe Bonnie could have pulled off being Oscar Goldman’s lackluster government secretary with an attitude problem.

Bonnie could've played Helen's retarded sister on Mad About You.

by Anonymousreply 18January 31, 2022 4:07 AM

Bonnie could have played the bra-less sex surrogate in "The Sessions".

Actually, Bonnie played “Wilson” in Castaway…but unfortunately she didn’t share any scenes with Helen.

I went to a Mad About You (revival/reboot) taping in 2019. Helen and Paul were very nice and chatty.

by Anonymousreply 23April 19, 2022 6:21 AM

How did she look in person, R23?

by Anonymousreply 24April 19, 2022 7:01 AM

She looked great. The Ira guy on the show looked ancient. LOL

by Anonymousreply 25April 19, 2022 7:04 AM

Bonnie said she met Helen just once and slapped her viciously.
