The View

crazered — Sun, 29 Jun 2014 13:10:50 GMT

So what does everyone think about Sherrie and Jenny leaving the View? I liked them but Sherrie just talked too much about her son and in baby talk. I think Sherrie success has gone to her head. Jenny Iiked except the show where her dad was finding a date. Love Whoopie. I Would like the View a talk show with Whoopie and guest. Whoopie used to have a talk show on the radio years ago. We heard her when we was on the West coast on a trip.

Love Whoopi and hope whoever they get as replacements will do well and make the show more watchable. Don't particularly care for Sherri and Jenny. Sherri is always about herself and Jeffry and Jenny with her personal stuff - son and boyfriend. Jenny should have learned from Sherri that TMI about her love life might backfire on her. Sherri was always Sal this, Sal that, her wedding plans and her wonderful life - well look where that went awful fast. Relationships change and it's probably better to keep most details private.

I liked Joy and even Elizabeth with her too conservative views. Sherri was a little more tolerable back then also. Sure hope no one's dumb enough to bring Rosie back. She was fun at times but so set in her views that there was no bend or acceptance of anyone else's and became hostile.

I think the best option for The View would be an all female news anchor cast and avoid entertainers as hosts. Put together a cast of female news anchors with diverse views and backgrounds like Megyn Kelly, Mika Brzezinski, Katie Couric, etc. who were all capable of reasonable discourse and discussion, who all had experience in front of the camera interviewing people, and you could end up with a pretty good show.

There are a lot of competent, intelligent women of diverse views who are capable of having rational discussions on whatever hot button topics are up for discussion. Some have young children, some are older, there are some of every racial and ethnic background. I just think that would be a better direction to go in.

Women don't want 4 news anchors on a morning show. They want information on a variety of issues that relate to them, a little celeb gossip, fashion and celebs. Basically, they want the View just the way it is.

I started watching The Talk and really enjoy these ladies. The View needs to be more like them and have some better guest. Also I don't understand why they bring on a guest and don't spend much time with them. Beforeyou know they are saying goodbye enjoyed you on the show. Also the announcer says so and so will be guest then they are not..

So many talk shows, the moderators come and they go and I really don't care what they do with it...

I guess the talk shows are cheaper to produce... but seriously, how many of them do we need? I too would rather see them bring back a good daytime drama, though most had become so poorly written, trying to compete with each other and coming up with ludicrous story lines they though would entice viewers... As the World Turns, though, was really well done for many years.

The show started out being a lot more serious. It was interesting to turn it on in the morning and see the various peoples takes on the events of the past day.

Now it is lots of hooting and hollering from the audience, loud music and no decent conversation. Remember that Sherri thought the earth was flat.

How about 1/2 hour soap and 1/2 hour game show?

Re: The View

Pook — Sun, 29 Jun 2014 17:11:01 GMT

The talk also started out being more serious and the reason for the show was basically mom issues and now look what it turned into! There can be a mix of fun as well as seriousness.

The show went downhill after Rosie left. During her stay, the viewing audience was probably the largest ever. She doesn't suffer fools easily and that's what I like about her. Same for Whoopi who suffers fools better and is why she is still there, a voice of common sense and reason.

So Rosie left and the show dumbed-down to accommodate Elisabeth and the audience who felt sorry for her. Consequently the show could only have occasional sharply intelligent discussions, few and far between.

Without a major shake-up and return to the previous level of strong views from informed hosts and guests, it was/is a dying program.

I think the best thing to do would be to end the show. It's been on long enough and certainly isn't at the top of the ratings and hasn't been in a long time. I grew weary of them all. Time to move on.

I hope the ""new"" show works. Barbara has retired and they are looking for a new direction.
