The Meredith Viera Show

Although I like Merideth, I have no interest in another talk show.

The opening is so annoying that I too would have come away with the same opinion as you have and never watched again.

I fortunately record the show and I found that if I fast forward through the beginning section of the recording and start watching it after the first commercial the show is pretty good.

Love Meredith !

I hope the show does well.

I just don't have the patience for these talk shows.

Meredith is a total professional and I'm sure they'll respond quickly to feedback if things aren't going well. New shows often take awhile to find their footing, so they have plenty of time to tweak it here and there. Almost every show is a bit awkward at first; I remember the horrible reviews that Katie Couric's show had when it first started and it seems to be doing well now. Give this one a chance.

I don't either. I watch Good Morning America, the "opening chat" with Kelly and Michael and don't watch again till the evening news.

My husband has the tv on all day. He watches CNBC till 4 and that's when our local news starts. If I'm in the room reading, or on my iPad, I'll look up occasionally and see what they're talking about on CNBC, but for the standard daytime shows- talk or informational, I don't know the schedule or channel for any of them.

Wasn't Katie's show canceled?
